VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism!

KJV John 14:21
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

He Had His Foot On The Brake
And 
I Had My Foot On The Gas
And 
It Didn't Take Rocket Science For Me To Realize That 
I Was Going Nowhere Real Fast! 

Very Soon I Was Glad 
For It Became Evident That Without His Asked-For Intervention
I Would Have Been Wearing, At The Very Least
A Personalized Body-Cast! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus, For The Save, For The Love! 

Time Changed! 
I Had Had My Foot On The Brake 
But 
He Escorted My Foot To The Gas 
And 
I Soon Came To Realize That 
I Was The One Who Had Asked, Again
For His Intervention, Again
And 
Had Harkened Aka Listened To And Done What He Had Asked 
Which Was "Be Very Courageous: Press On To Victory!" 

Brethren, Beloved, 

How Often Have We Acted Craven Aka Cowardly 
When The Plain Voice Of The Eternal God Said: 
"Be Brave! I AM With You!?!" 

How Often Have We Lion-Heartedly Roared 
And 
Enthusiastically Run Into Inevitable Disaster 
When The Good Lord Had Said: "Stand Still!?!" 

Are You Seeing The Pattern!?! 

The Lord Said: "Stop!" AND We Went! 

The Lord Said: "Go!" AND We Planted Our Feet In Quikrete Mortar Mix 
And 
Became Statues Of Willful Disobedience! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

The Lord Jesus Made It Plain When He Said That 
Our Obedience Is The Mark Of Our Love For Him! 

Plainly Put, 
Love Is Demonstrated! 
It Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism! 

Beloved, 

Look Around! 

We Don't Naturally STOP At GO Signs 
And 
We Don't Naturally GO At STOP Signs: 
Consequences Apply! 

Let's Think On These Things 
And 
Pray For The ... Our ... Good Lord To Help Us 
To Do As He Commands 
No Matter The Earthly Cost 
Because 
Heaven With Our Blessed Lord Jesus Awaits ... For Love Demonstrated! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Which Words!?!

KJV Psalms 39:1
1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

Words Have Consequences 
For The Rich And For The Poor
For The Knocker At The Front Gate 
And 
The Opener Of The Inside Door!

People, Don't Blink! 
Think! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Achan's Confession Of His Delight In The Babylonish Garment 
And 
For Silver And Gold 
Led To His Excommunication 
And 
Stoning To Death And Burning On The Desert Floor! 

General Moses' Misspoken Words By Anger
Asking The People If He And Aaron Were To Give Them Water 
Instead Of Glorifying The Faithful Holy God
Led To Them Being Excluded From Entering The Promised Land! 

Think Also Of Nabal 
Who Rejected David's Request For Sustenance By Asking 
Who Is David
The Very One Whose Guardianship Of His Flocks 
Guaranteed Nabal's Prosperity
Shows Us The Subsequent Deadly Cost Of 
Misplaced Aggression
Arrogance
And 
Knowing Base Ingratitude! 

Dear Ones, 

I Bid Us All To Speak Quietly 
And 
Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Lord! 

In Sewing, We Are Instructed To Measure Twice 
Before Cutting The Fabric Once! 

The Lord Tells Us That We Who Love The Tongue 
Shall Eat The Fruit Thereof 
So Be Very Careful What You Say 
Because 
Both Wise And Unwise Words Are A Heavy Weight! 

Judas Iscariot Asked Of The Jewish Leaders: 
"How Much Will You Give Me!?!" 
To Betray Our Lord Jesus! 

Jesus Christ Said To His Father: 
"Not My Will, But Thy Will Be Done!" 

Will Your Words To Our Blessed Jesus Be: 
"Lord, I Willingly Follow Thee No Matter The Cost!" 
Even Though You Understand That 
The World Will Savage You!?! 

Weigh What To Speak On The Way To Speak! 
Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: TRUTH Can Handle Questioning!

KJV Job 13:3
3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

The Truth Has Nothing To Fear From Being Questioned! 
True Or False!?! 

Jesus Christ, Our Only King, Said: 
"I Am The Truth!" 
He Also Said: 
"Come Let Us Reason Together!" 
And He Also Said: 
"Ask!" 

Ergo Aka Therefore
The Truth Aka Jesus Christ Our Lord 
Has Nothing To Fear 
From Being Questioned By Us Creatures Of Fallible Flesh
Of "Daintified" Dust! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Jesus Is All-Knowing 
So It Is Impossible For Us To Stump Our Creator 
With One Of Our "Imponderables!" 

Think About It: 
Can You Come Up With Such An Off-The-Wall Question For Our Maker/Master
Who Is Also All-Seeing And Ever-Present
That He Will Have To Snap His Fingers And Say To You ... In Resignation: 
"Oh, My Stars! 
You Really Got Me With That Question!" 

Wouldn't That Scenario Cause You To Become God
And 
Able To Create Your Own Reality
Problems Absent
Answers Evident!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are So Full Of Stuff And Nonsense That 
We Are Behaving Like Rank Idolaters! 

We Make God 
And 
We MAKE God Go! 

I Cry: 
"Remanufactured Hay!" 

Brethren, 

Be Wise For Your Own Self! 
Our Lord Is Real! 
His Wisdom Is Everlasting 
And 
He, His Truth, Endureth To All Generations! 

Please Dare And Try Almighty God ... By Faith! 

Remember, He Knows Your Question 
And Your Need
And Your Desire
And Your Hope
And Your Hurt
And Your Health
And Your Sorrow
And Your Joy
And Whether You Truly Believe That He Is Real 
And That He Loves You Personally And Intimately
And Intentionally
And Eternally! 

Please Get A Grip On Saving Grace
Tighten Your Heretofore Loose Lip
And 
Let Your Question ... By Unfailing Faith ... For Our Sovereign Lord, Rip! 
Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tired ... Tried!?!

KJV Psalms 66:18
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Will You Wear On Your Head What Your Feet Will Walk Upon!?! 
I Was Tired! 
I Am Getting Tired! 
I Am Tired! 
I Tried! 
I Will Be Tried! 
I Am Being Tried! 

Each Of These Statements Mean Something Different 
And
All Of Them Are True 
For All Of Us ... Now ... Today! 

Beloved, 

Consider This: 
You Are Not Letting Go Of That Person, Place, Or Thing 
Because 
It, That, She, He Known Finite 
And
Slowly Killing You Figuratively And Literally 
"Is All That I Have!" 
But
You Have No Problem At All With Casting Into The Flames Of 
"My Foolish Heart's Damnable Desire!" 
The Infinite Being You Truly Need 
Who Moment By Moment Is And Gives You Your Life
Help, Hope, Healing 
And
The Key To His Heavenly Home! 

Lord Jesus, Make This Make Sense! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are A Stubborn And Gainsaying People 
Who Would Criticize To His Face 
The Very Jesus Who Saves Us 
If We Could See Him Face To Face Today! 

Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry
Our Use Of Which Will Have Satan Counting Coup 
And 
Our Lord The Judge Subtracting Saints! 

Please Don't Do A Judas And Sell Heaven's Perfect Treasure 
To Get Earth's You'll Never Spent It Silver! 

Tired!?! 
Add Jesus The Savior! 

Tried!?! 
Add Christ The King! 

With Jesus In Your Heart
All That He Ordains For You To Have And Hold 
Will Be Added Unto You! 

We Are Dust: 
Dust Mines Gold 
And 
Gold Elevates Dust! 

Pray Without Ceasing 
And 
Mine The Scriptures! 

Peace!
