VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JESUS' PEACE IS PERFECT: Live With Hope!


Psalm 33:22 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


We Are Humans Created In The Image 
And 
Likeness Of Almighty God
And 
We Have Been 
And 
Are Daily Blessed With The Precious Gift Of Faith 
Which Brings With It That Dearest Of Companions
Hope
Which, With Malice, Boldly Kills Fear 
Which Burdens Our Lives With Unbearable Care! 

The Hope Of Faith 
Gives To Every Heart The Capacity To Perform Feats Of Daring! 
It Gives Strength To The Sick And Suffering To Carry On! 
It Makes The Weak Heart Strong To Joyfully Sing In The Storm Of Life! 
It Makes Cloudy Eyesight Sharp! 
It Makes Timid People Brave 
And
It Urges The Child
- Desirous Of Getting Home To The Father's House -
Into The Fountain Filled With Blood In Pursuit Of Forgiveness 
And 
To Get Thoroughly Clean! 

We Cannot Be True Children Of God 
When We Deliberately Choose To Host The Pity Party 
Where The Feast
Is
Bread Of Despair 
Accompanied By A Vintage Bottle Of Whine! 

Beloved, 

From The Hand Of God To Us Hope Springs Eternal! 
Let No One Put Your Hope Out To Pasture 
Because In So Doing
You Shall Surely Be Courting The Spiritual Disaster! 

Strengthen The Weak Knees ...

Let Hope In Jesus Float Your Sinking Boat 
And 
Extinguish All The Fires Of Adversity In Your Life! 
Trust God! 
Be Confident In Christ! 
Rely On The Holy Spirit
And
Live With Hope! 
Jesus' Peace Is Perfect!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lawful Children + PRAYER: Please Grant Discernment And Wisdom, Dear Lord!

 Psalm 94:12-13 kjv Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord ...


Adversity
Aka Troubles, Poverty, Enemies And Sorrows
Is 
A Guaranteed Entity In The Life Of Man 
But
We Who Are Loved, Corrected
And 
Taught By The Lord 
Are Blessed, Sheltered And Protected Through It! 

The Chastisement ... The Rod Of Correction
The Guidance Of The Lord 
Is 
For His Children 
Because 
Whom He Loves He Corrects 
And 
Teaches The Right Way To Walk! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Resist The Lord: Rest In The Lord! 
Correction May Not Be Pleasant 
At The Time Administered 
But 
The End Result For A Child Of God Motivated Thereby 
Is 
Rest And Peace! 

Please Humble Yourself 
And 
Be Obedient Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
Who Will Lift You In The Day Appointed!
The End Of The Willful Disobedient
- The Enemies Of God -
Who Walk Presumptuously Wild And Wayward
Is 
Damnation! 

Give Unfeigned Praise 
And 
Utter Thankful Prayers That 
Our Father Recognizes Our New Birth 
And 
Calls Us His Lawful Children, Blessed Forever! 



PRAYER:

Father, 
I Pray For Discernment
To Understand What I See Happening
And
What I Hear Around Me
And
I Pray For Wisdom, Dear Lord
To Do What Will Please You And Bless Me! 

Help Me, My Father
Not To Follow The Multitude
Not To Walk In The Ways Of The Unwise
The Ways Of Those Who Follow
And
Proselytize
The Known-Demonic Device! 

You Have Given Unto Me
Free Will And Free Choice 
And
The Power Of A Voice
And
You Have Given Me Your Living Word
To Guide Me Toward Your Presence
Where I May In Joy Rejoice! 
Please Help Me
Please Guide Me
Please Protect Me 
And
As And When Necessary
Upbraid Me And Chastise Me
For I Am Not A Friend Of The World
But Your Very Own Child
A Servant
A Student
A Willing Worker For My King
And
Desire Above All Else
To Dwell With You
In The Land Where Night Does Not
The Light Ever Darken! 

Father, 
Please Grant Unto The Gift Of 
Willing Obedience 
To See It Not As A Sacrifice
Or A Self-Denial
But As A Privilege
Given To Your Obedient Children
And
Which Leads Always To Our Blessing
From Your Holy Hand! 

Teach Me Your Way, Oh Lord
Keep Me Faithful
And
Lead Me In The Way Everlasting!
I Love You, Lord
And
I Thank You For Hearing
And
For Answering Humble Prayers
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That I Pray And Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

Evil Does Evil: Good!

Evil Chose Rebellion
AND
Against The Direct Command Of God
Against God
Stood!

Good Chose Obedience
AND
Adhering To The Direct Command Of God
In God's Approval
Stood!

Evil Believed In His Own Work
His Own Merits!
Good Believed In The Work Of
The Promised Savior
His Redeemer
AND
By Faith
Did The Right!
He Walked Not Be Sight!

Good Did Good
AND
Evil
- Resenting The Good Things
The Right Things
That Good Did -
In Anger Killed Good
For Good Is From God
Is For God
AND
Was In Evil's Side 
A Sharp Cruel
Self-Denying
Hurtful Thorn!

And, So You Have It ...

Good Blood
Through Bad Blood
- By Evil -
Was Killed!
Good Red Blood Was Spilled
BUT
It Was To Evil No Fillip!

God Saw It All!

Good
- Through Evil -
Was The First Human Casualty
Of The Fall
BUT

Actually The Casualty Called Second
For An Innocent Lamb
Representing The Spotless Lamb Of God To Come
Was Laid Out For Sacrifice
Before Active Evil Had Ever Hit 
The Newly Cursed With Work Ground!

Good Was Abel!
Evil Was Cain!
AND
Cain And Abel
Represent
The Two Classes Of People
Who Will Be Alive On Earth
At The Time Of The End
At The End Of Time!
What A Time!
Such A Time!

That Time Will Not Be Peaceful
AND
Assuredly
Not Sublime!
Those Who Choose To Honor God
AND
Do Good
Honoring His Commandments All
Will Be Hated 
AND
Ill-Treated
Even Killed
By Those Who Delight In Doing Evil
Because Doing Good
Sticks In The Craw Of Evil-Doers
Who All Have
The Same Attitude 
As That Of The Millennia-Old And Bold Fraud!
They. Hate. God!

Again ...

Evil Will Offer Good The Opportunity
For Good To Side With Evil
AND
Against God
BUT
Good
- In Refusing To Join Evil
In Evil-Doing For Common Good -
Will Have Evil Done Unto Him
Well ... Just Because!

Please Do Not Think You Are Special
- Though You Are!
Your Savior
Christ Jesus
Was Singled Out First
AND
Since Our Master
Got A Full Bowl Of "The Treatment!"
Let's Accept Our Little Glass
As A Badge Of Honor
AND
Rejoice For The Purchased Salvation Coming
For We, Brethren
Shall Have The Last
AND
The Longest
Belly Laugh!

Please Do Not Let Yourself Be Tempted
By Putting Yourself 
In Temptation's Way!
He Who Tempts You To Sin
Is A Soul Lost
Preferring Red Bean Stew
Over The Feast At The Glorious King's Banqueting
AND
Welcome Home Table
AND
Wants You
To Miss The Celebration
For The Faithful Just And True Few!

A Broke Merchant
Cares Not
Whose Business He Breaks Down
AND
Neither Does Satan
For Those He Joyfully Leads
Into Open Rebellion
Against The Sustainer
The God Of Creation!

So ...

Pray To The Living God
For Free Grace
AND
Firm Faith
AND
Hold On
Enduring All
So As Not To Make Shipwreck
Of Your Portion
Of Our Beloved Christ's For-You Sacrifice
AND
Faith!

Let Your Faith
Be Up Front And Forward!
Let Your Obedience To God Show
That In Adversity's Face
You Are Not The Coward
BUT
A Covered-With-Innocent-Blood True Christian!
March With Faith Forward!

Put Christ In Front Of You
AND
He Will Cover You
Top Bottom
Left Right
Front And Behind
AND
Leave Satan In Faith's Dust
Choking
On His Own Actions
Asinine!
Our Christ Is God Divine!

Jesus Gave His All
For You
For Me!!
Jesus Took Evil's All
So That Returned To The Father
We May Be!

Let Not Evil
Kill Your Hope Tree
AND
In The Glorious Day
Shiloh ... Our Peace
- In Peace -
You Will See!

Let 
"Come Glorious Day!"
Be Our Constant
Heartfelt Prayer!
