Walk Uprightly In The Glaring Light Of Truth!

Whatever We Do In This Life

Our Witness Is Also Our Judge! 

Whether It Be For Or Against Us 

Is

Determined By How We Operate 

Under The Word Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

Whom We Say That We Dearly Love! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Permit Truth 

To Be A Strange Flavor Upon Your Tongue 

Because 

This Will Mark You 

As Cohort With Him Who Has Made Lying A Science 

And

Sells It As A Heart-Comforting Song!

Jesus Christ Our Savior 

Is 

Calling His Children To Walk Uprightly 

And 

In The Glaring Light Which Makes All Darkness Strip Naked 

And 

Be Ashamed Of That Which Is Well And Truly Wrong! 

Let Us Endeavor Today To Stand In Truth ... Come What May

And 

Give No Ground To The Devil 

When For All Of Our Sin 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Already Paid! 

Please Take Your Burden To Jesus Christ

And 

See To It That By Your Hand 

At His Nail-Pierced Feet 

They Are Laid! 

Call Sin, Sin

And 

Call Satan,  The Fraud

And 

Choose To Let The Lord Lead You 

So That He Will Call You To His Side

When He Returns To Earth With The Angels 

Riding On The Conqueror's White Horse On The Cloud!

Almighty God's Grace Is Sufficient: 

Humbly Pray

Gently Speak

And 

Faithfully The Treasures Of The Living Kingdom Seek!

 Maranatha: 

The Lord Is Coming! 

Peace!

PRAYER : I Ask You, Lord, For My Blessing!

Lord Of The Faithful

God Of The Just

I Am Praying, Father

For I Want

Your Very Real Gift Of Life Everlasting

So I Must!

I Love You!

I Bless You!

I Honor You!

I Worship You, Lord, True

For I Desire To Live For You

And

Live In Bliss With You

When For Me

Eternity Comes, Too!

My Life Now Is A Vapor! 

My Beauty Fades

Like That Of The Flower Of A Grass! 

Unchanged 

I Am As A Cut Grass

Tossed In The Furnace

And Consumed

By Heat's Hot Blast!

Lord,

I Have No Desire

To Live Before You As One Offensive! 

I Have No Desire

To Be The One Profligate

Nor Profane

And

I Do Not Desire To Be The Soul Condemned

Who Will Be Cast Out From Before You

Damned

Into The Fire And Brimstone Lake

Of

Eternal Shame!

Lift Me Up, Lord! 

I Am Pleading! 

Bear Me Up, Lord

I Am Calling Your Name!

Carry Me! 

My Will I Surrender! 

Bless Me To Do Your Will

So That I Will Forever

Be Called Beloved

Because With Faith

I Carried

And Lifted Up

Your Holy And Everlasting Great Name!

I Give You, Lord, Your Glory! 

I Give You, Lord, My Praise Unfeigned 

And

I Ask You For My Blessings

In The Matchless Name Of My Jesus

Your Beloved And Begotten Only Son

Who Is Soon To The Earth

Coming Again

This Time As Conquering King

And

His Faithful Ones To Claim!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : The Maker Of ... Me! + PRAYER: I Desire To Live With You, Lord!

The Maker Of... Me
Said In His Love Letter To Me

"Follow Me!"

He Also Said To Me ...

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
Call On Me And I Will Answer Thee
And Show Thee Great Things That Thou Knowest Not!
Followed By
Come Unto Me And Rest!
AND
Believe And Live!
For
Sin Is A Reproach To Any People!

The Kicker Was:

Confess Your Sin And Repent!

He Did Not Suggest It!
He Clearly Said ...

God Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Me My Sin
And To Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!

He Beseeched Me 
To Trust God
AND PLAINLY SAID
God's Grace Is Sufficient For Me!

I Heard ...

Hope Thou In God
AND
Get Understanding
AND
Remember That
Wisdom Is The Principal Thing!

He Said:

Fear God
And Keep His Commandments
For It Is My - Man's - Duty
AND KNOW
God Will Bring Every Work Into Judgment
Even The Things I Hide
Be They Good Or Evil!

He Urged Me, Saying ...

Do Not Follow The Multitude To Do Evil!
Cast Your Every Care On God!
My Redeemer Lives!
AND
God Be Praised

The Lord Liveth To Make Intercession For Me!

The Lord, Himself, Says ...

Don't Walk In Your Own Understanding
Walk By Faith Not Sight
Let No One Steal Your Crown
Weeping Lasts For A Night
Joy Comes In The Morning
Choose You This Day Which God You Will Serve
AND EMPHASISES THAT
Those Who Serve False Gods Are Like Unto Them!

The Maker Of ... Me
In His Love Letter To Me
Asked:

Is There Anything Too Hard For Me?"

In Response To This
I Pray And Say
Unto The Maker
My Maker
The Lord
My God:

PRAYER:

Lord,

Have Mercy On Me!

Help Thou My Unbelief!

I Was A Child!

I Did Childish Things!

I Am Growing Up!

Help Me To Put Away Childish Things!

Help Me To Honor You, Lord

Love You

 Trust You And Obey!

Help Me, Lord

To Live In Your Love

Above The Frustrations

Frets

Upsets

Sorrows And Sadness

Wants And Worries

Needs And Necessities

Cares And Concerns

Because You Have Said

I Will Never Leave You

Nor

Forsake You!

Father,

You Have Also Said

In The Letter Of Love

That If I Am In Hell

There Will You Be With Me

That There Is No Place That I Can Go

Absent Your Spirit

That You Know All

That You See All

That You Are In All

That You Count The Hairs On My Head

That You Knew Me

Before I Was Made Perfect

That You Know My Name

That You Feel My Pain

That I Am Blessed

By Not Walking

In The Counsel Of The Ungodly

That I Am Blessed When I Mourn

For I Shall Be Comforted

That I Should Do Good

And

Good Shall Attend Me

That I Should Not Cast Away

My Confidence In Christ

Which Has Great Recompense Of Reward

That You Are Preparing A Place For Me

That You Are Coming Again For ... Me

That Your Gift To Me

Is

Eternal Life

That You Give Peace

That Passes

Human Understanding

That Your Grace Is Marvellous

That Angels Are Watching Over Me

That If I Wait On You, Lord

That I Shall Mount Up With Wings As Eagles

That I Shall Run And Not Be Weary

That I Shall Walk And Not Faint!

You Have Promised, Lord

That In The Hour Of My Trial

That My Jesus Will Plead For Me!

You Have Promised Me, Lord

Faith And Grace

According To My Need

For The Day!

You Have Promised Me, Lord

That For My Fidelity

To The Holy God

That My Bread And Water

Are Sure!

Father,

You Are God!

You Keep Your Promises!

I Am A Mere Man

A Child Of The Dust!

When You Feed Me I Live!

If You Take Away My Breath

It Is Sure That I Shall Die

BUT, NOW,

Lord,

I Am Alive

In Need

Praying!

Pleading

Please Pity Me!

Help Me To Love You!

Help Me To Love Your Word!

Help Me To Seek Your Face

To Get Out

From Amongst The Disobedient

That Tribe Called Goat Herd!

Help Me To Live As An Obedient Sheep!

Help Me, Lord

To ... In Humility

Cast My Self And My Problems

With Finality

At Your Precious Feet!

Lord,

Let Not My Soul Be Cast Down!

Let Not My Soul

Be Dispirited Within Me

For I Hope In God

Who Is My Strength

And

My Salvation!

Father,

Teach Me Your Ways

And

Help Me To Walk In Them!

Let Your Word Be My Lamp

And

Let It Light My Path!

Let My Path Lead to Zion

The City Of The Eternal

Where I

As Conquering King

And

In Joyous Peace!

Forgive Me Of My Sin Today!

Forgive Me For It Is To The Holy God I Pray!

Forgive Me E'er I Crucify My Jesus Afresh

And

Help Me Not To Use

The Feigned Excuse

That I Am But Flesh!

For I Acknowledge That

Christ Is My Portion Forever! 

Harken To My Call

And Do For Me

All That The Holy God Will Do

For His Believing

And

Determined To Be Faithful Child!

In Jesus' Holy Name

I Humbly Plead!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Bless You, Lord!

Father,

It Is A Blessedness

To Come Before You

In Truth

Giving Praise

Honor And Glory

To The One God

Who Can Save Our Souls

Because He Loves Us

And

Will Take Us To His Eternal Homeland

Immortalized

If We For The Lowly Jesus

Take The Determined

Enduring-All-Things

Decided Stand!

Grant Us The Victory!

Father,

I Thank You

And

Bless You

For Ever Being

A Part Of My Life

Ever Preparing The Way

Even When I Did Not Know

That I Needed A Way

And

Even When I Did Know

And

I Did Not Care!

Thank You For The Blessing!

Forgive Me My Gross Folly!

Father,

I Am Grateful

Truly Grateful

For The Certainty

That You Are A Forgiving God

And

I Thank You For The Gifts

The Enumerated

And

The Untold

And

Unappreciated Blessings

Received

That Encourage Me Daily

To Stay Safe

Within Your Sheltered Sheep Fold!

I Bless The Good Shepherd!

Lord,
Please Keep Me Faithful
And

Help Me Never Again

From You To Stray!

Help Me To Never Again
Pay You Lip Service
And

Help Me To Stay Constant In Prayer!
I Value The Peace Found There!

Help Me, Father

That As I Hear It

That I Really Make The Effort
To Truly Listen To
And
With Alacrity
To Heed

The Still Small Voice Of God

- Your Holy Spirit

Wisdom Itself -

Without Which

We Mere Men Are All Cursed

So That - In Me -

The Curse Of Sin

And

The Known Wages Of Sin

Are In My Life

Remitted!

Thank You, Lord
For Your Sacrifice
And
I Ask You, Please
To Bless Me

To Truly Appreciate Its Enormity

And

What It Truly Means

To Serve The Forever-Living

Once-Dead Lamb

Yet Alive

Interceding High Priest

Who Had

Who Felt

Who Conquered

All My Infirmities

And

Is Pleading His Blood

To Cover My Sin

So That I May Be

At One

With The Eternal God
And

With Jesus Christ

My King!

Oh, Lord

Let Your Grace
Be Ever Sufficient For Me!

Let Your Love Hold Me

Oh, So Gently!

Let Your Mercy

Against My Death Penalty

Because Of My Working-For-Love Faith

Say: "No!"

And 

Help Me To Share My Faith

With My Brethren!

Let Your Light In Me

Show And Grow!

Lord,

Help Me To With Holy Boldness

Give You All The Honor

The Praise

The Worship
And

The Glory That You Deserve

And

I Beseech You
In Your All-Encompassing Love

To Remember The Striving
And

Holy People
In Mercy!

Please Meet Them Where They Stand

And

Bless Them To Continue On

In Jesus' Faith

Which Cannot Shrink!

In The Matchless Holy Name

Of Jesus Christ
The Returning

Conquering King, I Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN. 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Accidental Victory!?!

vic·to·ry

ˈvikt(ə)rē/

noun

plural noun: victories

1. an act of defeating an enemy or opponent in a battle, game, or other competition.

   
   

   "an election victory"
2. 
   
3. 
   

The Baby Walks
Victoriously

BUT

First He Had To Stand Up!

His Mother Roared In Triumph

For

Her Child Walks

Confidently

Strongly

Steadily

Placing Foot In Front Of Foot!

The Boy Rides

And Rides

In Circles

Daringly

AND

Free

BUT

First

He Had To Gain Balance

AND

Ride Straight

Before He Could Ride 

In Circles

Victoriously!

The Young Lady's Hormones Were Raging!

The Young Man's Libido Was Sprung

BUT

They Had Promised The Master

That They Would Wait

Until

She Had Been Dedicated To Him

On The Day That She Wore

Her Pristine White Wedding Gown!

The Battle Was Fierce!

The Promise Paramount!

Their Faith In The Master

Would Carry Them To The Great Day

To Hear

The Pronouncement:

"She To You Now Belongs!"

AND

The Battle Long Fought

Was Won

Because Of One Prayer

AND

Walking Day By Day

Trusting God To Bless The Way

AND

Their Victory Did Hallow 

Their Beautiful Wedding Day!

The Sinner Turned To Become A Saint

After Many Feints

BUT

With Turning To The Master

Wobbly Steps Became Straight
AND

He Was Soon Steadfastly Walking

AND

Trusting God 
At His Word

AND

Accepting Guidance From The Holy Spirit

All The While Truly Believing That God Sees Every Action

AND

Hears Every Word!

He Did Trust 
AND
He Obeyed!

He Believed God 
AND
He Daily Prayed

For

The Mercy

AND 

The Grace Which Are Available

To Help Him
From The World

To Turn Away!

One Step!

Two Steps!

Three Steps!

Four!

Soon Walking

Then Running Without Being Weary

Then Rising Up With The Wings Of An Eagle

Above The Earth

BUT

It All Started

With Faith

Then Belief

Love

Then Trust

AND

Suddenly

Obedience

Became The Thing Marked:

"I Must!!"

Accident Has Not Victory!

Victory Requires A Plan 

AND

Work!

Let Faith Cause You To Work

Out Of Love Of Him

Who Made You 
AND
The Beautiful Earth!

Trust God - He Is Faithful!

Live For Jesus - Who For You Died!

Be Comforted - Of The Holy Spirit

Whose Temple You Are

AND

Wherein He Abides!

There Is No Need To Walk In Your Own Strength

For

There Is Grace 

Sufficient

For Each And Every Day

AND

Faith ... Which Gives The Victory

Through Jesus Christ The Master

Our Savior Redeemer

AND

Our Friend!

Jesus Christ Is Coming

To Claim His Very Own

For He - Himself 
Has Conquered

Death, Hell The Grave
AND
Sin's Benighted Throne!

Jesus Said His Father Works

AND

That He Who Must Work, Too

SO

We Who Love And Trust In Him

Must

Get Up!

AND

Get Out!

AND

Work!

For That, Dear Ones Is 

God's Written Gospel Truth!

Victory Over Sin

Is In Sight

BUT

We Must Go Out

- By Jesus' Faith -
To Claim It

FOR

It Will Never Walk Toward Us

BECAUSE

We Must Work 
- Faithfully -
For It!
