VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!




Give Almighty God Great Praise: 
Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved
About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 
Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 
And 
Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 
Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God
Who Ever Strengthens Us 
And 
Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 
But 
What We Mean To Say Is That 
We Trust Him Sometimes 
And 
Usually When It Is Convenient 
Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 
And 
We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers
That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 
And 
Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 
Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 
And 
We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 
Aka Haul Back The 
"Where Was God When ... !?!" 
And 
Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 
"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 
My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 
When You Have Cash To Burn
Food To Waste
Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot
Nice Children
The Adoring Spouse
And 
Pleasant Work! 

If, However
You Can Pray, Praise
And 
Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life
You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves
Committed Christians 
May Be As The Whistling Kettle That
Sings Its Best Music 
When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied
 To Its Bare Bottom 
And
The Only Stress-Reliever
Is To Sing Unto God 
Until Relief
The Promise Of Very Present Help
Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For Being The On-Time
In-Time
Never-Late
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Ever-Loving
Always-Giving God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 
Because
You Are Our Perfect Love
Blessed Hope
And
Sweet Peace! 
AMEN!!!

  1. I Will Sing Of Jesus Christ's Love For Me That Caused Him To Leave The Splendor Of Heaven To Become The Reason That I Am Redeemed From The Second Death, The Eternal Separation For The True And Living, Holy God Of Grace And Glory!
