VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Will Always Be Change!

Old Year, New Year, We Do It Time And Again! 

The One Thing That Is Constant Is That 

There Will Always Be Change! 

There Is No Recycle, Rinse, And Reuse 

Because 

The Changing Scenes Of Life In Time Are Inevitable

And That, Beloved

Is The Great Good News! 

Brethren Beloved, 

The Lord Of Life Is Soon Coming 

And 

Of This We Are Assured! 

We Don't Know The Day Or The Hour 

So Into A False Sense Of Security 

Please Do Not Be Foolishly Lured! 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Master

And 

A Work To Do On Our Selves

So Let Us Be About Our Business 

And 

Not Be Drooling About The Merchants' Store Shelves! 

Open The Good Book 

And 

Continue To Work On Character-Building 

And 

Give The Adversary No Chance Upon Our Names 

In Satanic Revelry To Go A-Prancing! 

The Savior Is Waiting For Us 

To Moment By Moment Answer His Salvation Call 

So That We May Wash Away Forever 

The Stench And Stain Of Adam's Fall! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Loved With An Everlasting Love 

So Let Us Align Our Future With The Lord Of Love 

So That Our Living Estate Will Be 

Our Hand In The Hand Of Him Who Alone Can Take Us 

To The Glorious Courts In Heaven Above! 

Be Faithful! 

Be Obedient! 

Be Enduring! 

Be Blessed

And 

Be At Peace 

In, For, And With Almighty God's Unfailing Love! 

But, God! + The Truth!

 

Beloved, 

We Who Choose To Accept Jesus Christ 
At His Living Word 
Always Have An "Ace In The Hole" 
When Dealing With The Changing Scenes Of Life 
And 
Its Attending Difficulties! 

We Are People ... Humans
And 
We Daily Deal With People ... Humans
Who ... Like Us ... Have Problems 
But 
We Believing The Word
Ever Have The Ready Solution 
If
We Are Willing To ... Or Remember To ... Use It! 

"But, God ...!" 

But, God Will Supply Our Need 
Not 
According To Our Need 
But
According To His Riches ... In Glory! 
Never, Ever, Forget This Truth! 

We Are Given Daily Faith! 
We Have Direct Access
By Humble, Heartfelt Prayer
To The Throne Of Grace! 
We Have Trust To Spend On Jesus! 
We Have Obedience To Deliver To Jesus! 
We Have Free Will And Free Choice
And 
We Have Love
The Holy Love Of The Living God 
Which Can Never Fail! 

Soooo ...

With All That's Been Said
Let Us Remember That 
Our Problems Are Finite And Temporal
Our God Is Infinite And Eternal
The Sun Is Always Shining Somewhere
And 
Our Faith Reposed In Jesus Christ 
Will Always Bless Our Lives With Sun ... Sonshine! 

When Life Butts You, Remember 
"But, God ...!" 
And 
Acting According To The Gift Of Faith
And
The Strength Of The Living Word Of Truth
In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name
Give Your Back To That Liar, Satan 
And 
His Minions Aka The Agents Of King Fraud! 

Be Encouraged!
Always Honor 
And 
Praise The Living God 
Who Has The Final Say! 
Peace!

The Truth:

The Devil Is The Liar!

His Words Will Always Curse!

See That You Take Nothing

From His Blighted Hand

Or The Lord's Sacrifice For Sin

To Reverse The Curse On All Mankind

And

Personally In Your Life

Will Never, Ever, Be Reversed! 

Any Lift Given By Satan Is In A Hearse! 

Any Gift Received From Satan Is A Curse! 

Any Drift Occasioned By Satan

Will Entangle You In The Mortal Strife

And

 Any Sift Used By Satan To Help You

Is

To Sever You From Christ's Eternal Life!

I Call Him Master, Lord And God! + PRAYER: Lord, Let Your Glory Shine!

Through All The Changing Scenes Of My Life
There Has Been One Constant
AND

- Against The Truth -

I Cannot Tell The Lie!

Through Cock-Ups

Carelessness
Wilfullness 

Outright Sinfulness
Sorrow Grief
Joy Gladness
Peace War
Sickness And Health
Want And Abundance
Jesus Christ The Righteous
- My Savior, My Lord And My God -
Has Ever Always
Been There!

Jesus Christ Cares!

I Know Jesus Christ Cares
Because 

He Cares For Me!

I Took Jesus' Love
For Granted
AND

Such A Thing Should Never Be!

The Faithful God
So Constant
So Giving
So Blessing
So True
Is The One I Call Master
AND
You Should Call Him That Too!!

He Sees!
He Hears!
He Knows My Fears!
I Know I Can Trust Him
AND
That Is The Thing One Thing About Me That
Satan. Most. Fears!

I Was Young

AND
Now I Am Old
AND
With Sin
I No Longer Play Bold!

My Head Was Hot!
My Heart Was Cold
AND
I Thought Nothing Of
Running With The Goat Herd!

I Did Things My Way

AND
I Almost Paid The Cost Of Living Price
BUT
Almighty God Is Faithful
AND
I Have The Promised New Life In Christ!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Today ... To Me ... Is Free
So
I Thread Through Life Softly
AND
Repair Often To The Man Who Conquered Death
On A Cruel Tree On Mount Calvary!

I ... By My Own Sin

Put Jesus Christ There!
Of The Price Of Sin, I Have A Fair Share
BUT
I Am Committed
To Not Letting His Suffering
- In My Case -
Leave In The Glorious Kingdom
An "Empty Chair!"

Salvation Came Down
AND
Bought Pardon For Me
AND IConvinced Convicted Converted
Accept
The Royal Heavenly Blessing 

Graciously

Mercifully

Conferred Upon Me!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Keep Me Faithful

Honest Bold Strong True

So That I May Tell The Good News

To My Brethren

All About You!

Place Truth In My Inward Parts!

From My Face

Let Your Glory Shine! 

You Are My Lord Beloved

At Your Table

By Your Grace

With You

I Desire ... Forever

To Dine! 

AMEN.

Finally ... I Was Listening!

The Rock Of Ages
Cleft For Me
When I Beheld The Lamb Of God
Crucified
Riven
Broken
On Calvary!

I Looked
AND
I Saw
Jesus ... Besmirched
Looking Like Me
AND
Saving Me
By Taking My Place
AND
Hanging
Accursed
On That Cruel Death-Tree!

"Faith Changes Things!"
I Heard My Own Voice Say
As I Acknowledged
AND
Accepted That
The Lamb Of God Died
To Take My Sin Away!

Glory Came Down
To Give Me And My Kind Glory
BUT
- Instead -
By My Sinful Kind
Ended Up
All Beaten
Spat Upon
Nailed Up
Pierced Through
Lifted Up
AND
Vile-Looking Gory!

What A Fellowship!
What A Joy
Now
Is Mine
That I Am Leaning
On The Everlasting Arms!

My Lord Arose!
My Lord Rose Up!
My Lord Is In The Most Holy Place
Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Reconciling Me To The Father God
Fixing My Title
For I Am Redeemed
AND
That Makes Me
- In Jesus -
Clear
On The Father's Books!
In Jesus
I Have No Devil-Attached Hooks!

I Caused The Holy Christ Pain!
I Brought To His Heart Shame!
For I Long Before
Had Ignored His Call
To Take Hold Of The Lifeline
Needed For Salvation
Because Of Satanic Deception
AND
Willful Sin
AND
Willful Sinning Man's ... Fall!

I Had Looked Back!
I Had Fallen Behind!
I Had Turned Away From Light!
I Had Chosen
Satan
And
Had Gotten Carried Away
Until
That Great And Glorious Day
On The Dusty Road
When I Heard That Voice ...

How Long Has It Been

Since You Talked With The Lord?

How Far From Home Will You Run

Hoping

To Break The Ties-That-Bind Cord?

When Will You Acknowledge

That You Are One Weary?

When Will You Call The Father

And

Beseech Him

To Let You Come Home

Even As You

Acknowledge That

You Are A Child Of The Dust

Rolling Around In

And

Covered With Sin

As A Hard-Shell Crust?

Why Don't You Call Out

To Him Now

And

Plead With Him

To Save You

From You Own Self?

I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say:

Come Unto Me ... And Rest!

I Cried:

Father, Lead Me
Day By Day
For
This Land Is Not My Land
And
I Do Not Want
For My Own Sin
At The Appointed Time
To Have To Personally Pay!

Furthermore,

I Reached Out My Hand
AND
I Touched The Hand Of The Man
Who Stilled Waters
Who Healed Disease
Who Raised The Dead
AND
Who Prayed Daily
Constantly
- On His Knees -
- To His Own Father -
For Strength
In The Garden
Alone!

Suddenly ...

It Was Heaven In My Heart
For I Found Jesus
Who Had Been Calling For
Seeking After
Wayward Me!

In The Sorrow Of My Weary Soul
I Cried ...

Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind
Forgive My Foolish Ways!
Please, I Beseech You
Henceforth And Forever
Help Me To Give Of My Best
To My Master!

AND ...

Standing On The Promises
Which Cannot Fail
I Shouted ...

I Am Delivered!
No More Night!
Praise The Lord!

I Heard My Jesus Say ...

Hold The Fort

For I Am Coming To Earth Again!

Cast Now Away Your Confidence!

Give Your Burdens Unto Me

And Leave Them There

For

I Am Just A Prayer Away!

Brethren ...

I Walk Through Life's Storms
AND
I Hold My Head Up High!
I Am No Longer Afraid
Of Sin's Dark
For
The Light Of The World
IS
The Light Of My Life
AND
The Lies Of The Devil
No Longer Have Power
To Make Me Want
My Eternal Holy God
To Flagrantly Defy!

I Walk Today Where Jesus Walked!
I Am Tempted
AND
I Am Tried
BUT
The Promise Is Given
To All Who Believe
To All Who By Sin Are Oppressed
AND
Still Love
AND
Still Trust
AND
Are Still Looking For The Coming
Of The King Of Love
Who Jesus Christ My Shepherd Is
That
There Is Glory In The Cross!

The Marvellous Grace
Of
The Loving Lord
IS
Sufficient For Me
- No Matter What -
For I Am Running This Race
For The Win
Confident
Of The Great Day Of God's Reward
For
All Day
AND
All Night
God's Angels Are Watching Over Me!

I Have A Mansion!
I Have A Crown!
I Have A New Name
For
I Know That He Who Has Promised
Will
With The Glory Of The Father
The Angels
AND
Himself
From Heaven
- Split Open -
For Me And All The Faithful
Soon To Earth
Be Coming Down!

I Sing ...!
I Raise The Song Of Jubilee ...

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

For
I Have Laid My Burden Down!

I Sing Praises To God!
I See The Promise
In The Flowers That Grow!
I See Renewal
In All The Changing Scenes Of Life
AND
I Say ...

When He Cometh!
When HE Cometh
To Take Up His Jewels
By God's Grace
I'll Be A Bright One
For I Am Beloved
AND
I Am His Own!

I Will See Jesus
Just As He Is
For
The Strife Is O'er
All To The Formalities
When Christ Comes To Claim His Own!

I Have Victory In Jesus!
I Have The Blessed Assurance!
I Have Hope For Today
AND
Faith
To Face Tomorrow!

I Say To My Soul
Be Still And Know
That He Is God!
He Is The God That Feedeth Thee!
He Holds The Whole World Is His Hand
AND, YET
He Lives In The Heart Of Me
For
His Indwelling Spirit
Comforts Guides And Chides
AND
Because I Am Listening
He In Me Abides!

All My Other Helpers Failed
AND
All My Creature Comforts Did Flee
BUT
Faith First
The Lord ... Being My Vision
I Am Telling The World
That
Jesus My Savior
Now Pilots Me!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives
AND
For This
I Utter
A Joyful Allelujah!
AND
The Seven-Fold

Amen! Amen! Amen!
Amen! Amen! Amen!
AMEN!
