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!
