Despising Our Own Splotchy Patch Of Almighty God's Goodness For ... Plastic Turf!?!

Beloved, 

Oh, How I Pray For Us All That 

We Will Take Heed To The Living Word That 

Calls Us To Trust In And Walk By Faith With Our God Almighty 

And 

Stop Trusting And Believing In Fables And Get Rich Quick Schemes! 

Dear Ones, 

The Elders Always Quoted This  Word: 

"The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side!" 

Which Contains Truth, Fact, Warning, And Encouragement! 

We May See Lush Green Grass On Someone's Side Of The Fence 

And 

Covet Same 

While Despising Our Own Splotchy Patch Of Our God's Goodness 

Until We Realize ... By Bitter Experience ... That 

Our Neighbor's Luxury Yard Of Green Goodness 

Ain't Nothing But Plastic Turf 

Or Real Green Grass Acquired At Mind-Numbing Cost 

Through Unconscionable Sacrifice 

And 

With Inordinate Expense To Maintain 

Plus 

Their Designer-Cupboard Is Bare! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Great God Is The One Creator 

Who Is Our Soul's Sole Provider 

And

He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie

Nor The Son Of Man That He Should Change 

Because 

He Is Having A Bad Day! 

Almighty God Is

And 

Because He Is

We Are ... Able To Trust Him 

If 

We Are Ready And Willing To Believe That 

He Can Do All That He Has Promised 

By The Shedding Of His Own Precious 

And 

Known-Innocent Can Never Be Guilty, Blood! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

The  Strength Of Our Lives 

And 

Because He Lives

We May Rest In His Love And Saving Grace 

And 

Be Strengthened To Face 

Whatever Tomorrows He Permits Us To Face 

Under The Shelter Of His Wings! 

Beloved, 

Be Encouraged For You Are Greatly Blessed: 

Trust In The Lord Jesus With All Your Strength! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Win While You Wait On The Lord!

Be Encouraged! 

Since We Choose, Through Grace

By Faith That Works By Love And Purifies The Soul

To Believe That Our Lord Jesus Is The Strength Of Our Lives 

And

Add To It That We Can Do All Things Through Him

We Must Also Keep In The Forefront Of Our Thoughts That 

All The Things Which We Are Choosing To Do 

Must Meet The Right-Doing Test 

And

The Lord's Will, Way, And Timing Test! 

Beloved, 

We, As The Lord's People 

Walking Against The Grain Of The Fabric Of This Dying Word

Do Not Like Technicolor Four-Letter Words 

Aka Foul Language! 

Surprise! 

Most, If Not All Of Us

Consider "Wait!" To Be One Of Those Curse Words

An Inconvenience

A Boil On The Butt Of Our Promised Pleasure! 

Wait Up, Dear One! 

We Are Not Waiting On Humans! 

We Are Waiting Upon 

The Sovereign Lord Of All Creation

The King Of Love

The Loving Shepherd Of Us Who Are 

His Obedient, Trusting, Faithful Sheep! 

With That Being Said

We Should Make It A Point To Consider 

Waiting Upon Our Maker, God, And King 

To Be A Precious Jewel

A Priceless Pearl! 

Let Us Ever Remember That 

Our Awesome God Gives Power To The Faint

And 

To Us Who Lack Might

He Increases Strength! 

This Is A Win While You Wait On The Lord Prize Fight! 

Please Let  Almighty God Be Your All 

And

No Created Being Can Ever Make You Fail Or Fall! 

Walk With

Wait Upon

And 

Wisely Worship Our Lord Christ 

To Be Wonderfully Welcomed Into The Heavenly Home! 

Peace! 

BE ENCOURAGED: You Are Not Alone!

All Throughout Holy Writ 

Is 

The Constant Refrain 

"Be Strong! 

Be Of Good Courage! 

Do Not Fear!" 

The Lord Jesus Says To Us: 

"Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

Neither Let It Be Afraid!" 

And

We Are Encouraged To 

"Trust In The Lord With All Thy Strength! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God!" 

Beloved, 

All Who Wait Upon The Lord Our God

Shall Have Their Strength Renewed! 

We Who Wait Upon The Lord Of Glory

Shall Be Like Mount Zion

Unshakeable

Unmovable! 

Let Us Prayerfully Meditate On The Fact That 

Too Often We Faithfully Wait On The Lord 

Until 

We Reach The Border Of The Promised Land! 

We Forget Who Has Brought Us 

"Safely Thus Far!" 

And 

We Start To Trust Our Own Lying Sight

And 

Self-Deceived Understanding! 

We Forget That The Lord Says 

"Walk In Faith!" 

We Forget That The Wisdom Of Man 

Is 

Foolishness To Almighty God! 

We Forget Whose We Are 

And

Who It Is That Goes Before Us 

And

We Turn Back To The Desert Of Sin 

When The Lord Would Have Parted The Waters

- Even The Waters Of Strife - 

And

Made Dry Ground For Us 

To Enter The Goodly Land Of Total Peace 

And

Perfect Rest! 

Our God Is Just And Faithful

So Forsake Not His Ways: 

Walk Holy

- According To His Sovereign Holy Will - 

And 

Be Daily Blessed 

And 

Eternally Saved! 

There Is No Peace

For

The Willing Sin-Slave!

HAPPY SABBATH + BE ENCOURAGED + PRAYER: Father, Help Me Not To Be A Bread And Fish Christian!

Life Will Be Dark At Times 

But 

Our God ... Almighty ... Is Light! 

Trust Him: He Is The Truth! 

Trust In Him No Matter What Happens

Because 

He Has Given Unto Us Great Treasure In These Earthen Vessels: 
His Faith To See To Believe 

And

The Holy Spirit ... The Comforter Who Is Come

Who Is Here

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

All Of Almighty God's Gifts To Men

Are Good

With No Sorrow Added!

Beloved, 

Human Eyes Are Blind Even Though They Physically See

But

The Eyes Of Working Faith Ever Have Sight 

Because 
They See Living Light ... Truth
That Can Never Fail Or Fall! 

Our God 
Is 
Good To Us 
Even Though We Don't Deserve It! 

Pray ... And Hold On
And
Plod On While It Is Still Day! 

Jesus Christ Is Coming For Us Real Soon! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Believe You! 

Please Rid Me Of Any Unbelief That I May Be Cherishing! 

Please Help Me Not To Be A Bread And Fish Christian 

Always Available To Feast 

But Never Available To Help With The Work 

That Will Cause Hurting People From Willing Sinning To Cease! 

Please Help Me To Stay In The Word That Brings Faith!

Please Help Me Not To Be Amongst Those 

Who Tell The Good News But Don't Live It

Who Point Fingers And Pray Self-Righteous Prayers

Who Seem Not To Understand That 

The Cup Of Blessings Will Overflow 

But The Cup Of Planned Sin Has An Unbreachable Limit! 

Please Help Me So That My Living Is Not In Vain!

I'm Watching, Lord

And Praying 

And Hoping! 

Please Hold My Hand And Help Me To Follow You 

And In Living Truth 

Obediently, Enduringly, Stand 

So That In Perfect Peace 

I Shall Behold You, My King

And In Your Glorious Presence Eternally Stand

In Jesus' Holy Name I Pray And Humbly Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Encouraged!

To Be ... Or Not ... To Be!

Is This Even A Real Question!?!

The Saints Have Marching Orders:

Stand Firm In The Lord Your God!

Hold The Lord God Almighty In Godly Fear!

With The Fallen World The Good News Share

And

Have No Truck With Satan, The Known Fraud

The Wannabe God!

We, The Saints Of God And Christ

Are Called To 

Be Strong ... In The Lord!
Be ... Of Good Courage!
Be Faithful!

Be Not Afraid!

Be Not Troubled!
Be Obedient!
Be Not Dismayed!
Be Ye Steadfast!
Be Constant!
Be Instant ... In Prayer!
Believe!
Be Blessed!
Be Not Weary ... In Well Doing
