VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: To Do Good IS A Decision

DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY THIS IS?

Yes! 

It's Saturday! 

Sabbath! Weekend! No work!

And what does that mean?

IT MEANS THAT WE ARE 

ONE DAY CLOSER 

TO 

GOING HOME!!

To Do Good is a decision for
Sinning is the way of this Life
And Living According To One's Nature
Leads always to Constant Trouble and Strife!

Right Living requires Much Effort
Wickedness comes by Rote
And walking that way for many
Doesn't even require the necessary Working Conscience Vote!

But those who have met the Master
Do Right, and live with Constant and Persistent Hope
Real Hope and Hope Springs Eternal, and
Encourage The Faithful to Dwell In God's Light
And they, with The Comfort of the Spirit, and Aided By Holy Angels
Don't give in to Sin for there is always The Fight!

Pray Without Ceasing and Study to Show Thyself Approved
Are Helpers in Life's Battles
And with Grace At Your Side, you know that you Can't Lose
And will win because with Jesus Christ carrying The Tide
You'll know that you did The Right Choice choose!

Lord, I Need To Hate ...

Lord, I need to hate sin and Satan

Because I love Jesus, My Lord

Give me Your love and great courage

And help me make that hate real lest I fall!

Satan is dogging my footsteps

More it seems with each passing day

Trying to make me believe, the Old Liar

That You really don’t care after all!

I know well that Satan is the liar

I know well that Jesus Christ is really real

I know well that I need to possess Your character

Bless me, Lord, upon this thorny trail!

Father, the trials I face are so many

The blessings I see seem few, and far between

But I know it’s all a deadly delusion

To make me doubt You and act the part of an old fool!

Give me, this day, another victory

Give me another day to - in faith - stand tall

Give me another point of light to my favor

Make me a star for my Jesus, My Lord, My All!
