WAITING, WATCHING, WORKING, WISE: Who You Be!?!

Roll Call Was On Tap!

The Groups Were Being Set!

Every Person Had A Designated Spot

To Which They Were Called To Step:

• Worriers
• Warriors
• Waiters
• Watchers
• Workers
• Wise
• Waiting, Watching, Working, Wise

All Were Designated

And 
Boy Howdy

It Showed A Significant Surprise!

Named Warriors Were Many!

Willing Workers Were Few!

Watchers Were Myriad!

Wise Were One Or Two!

Worriers Were Legion
And

Waiters Were No Big Deal

Because

They Included Me And You!

When The Dust Had Quite Settled

The Group Designated

Waiting, Watching, Working, Wise

Were The Willing Warriors

Who Sought To Emulate Lord Christ 
By Their Lived Lives!

These Take The Word Of The Master To Heart!

These Have Cast Their Burden On The Lord
And

These Have Chosen Not To Let The Deceiver Cause Them

To Make A Liar Of Their Lord!

They Are Not Anxious For Anything!

They Pray Humbly And Without Ceasing!

They Choose To Trust The Lord Each Day For Grace

And

They Willingly Exercise Their Daily Gift Of Daily Faith!

These Do Not Puff Up Themselves With Useless Titles!

The Only Title They Cherish 
Is

Faithful Child, Eager Student
Willing Servant Of The Eternal God

And

Because They Keep Their Eyes Fixed Upon Christ Jesus

They Have And Are Stirring Up The Enmity Of

Satan, The Piercing Serpent

Beelzebub The Bold

Leviathan The Gross Liar

Behemoth The Wannabe God 

The Damned-For-Eternity Fraud!

When They Were Asked What Makes Them Strong In Faith

When Everyone Knows That They Are Weak In Flesh

They, With One Voice, Spoke The Word

And

Made A Heartfelt Plea Where Their Words Could Be Heard:

Think About It ...

Those Who Walk Together, Agree! 
Those Who Extend Their Right Arms To Each Other

Clasp Them In Greeting

For Joy

In Fellowship

In Agreement

And 

To Seal A Covenant! 

Beloved, 

At The Right Hand Of The Lord 
Is 
Fullness Of Joy ... Joy Unspeakable! 

The Question Is

How Can You Have Jesus Christ At Your Right Side

And 

Be At His Right Side At The Same Time

To Make You Unmovable In Your Struggle 
Against Self, Sin And Satan

And 

To Be Able To Experience Joys Forevermore!?! 

Won't We Have To Be Beholding Him

Looking At Him 

Seeing Him In All His Beauty!?! 

To Clasp Right Hands

We Must See Each Other 

And 

Be Desirous  To Touch ... Each Other! 

Remember ... 

Touching In Agreement 

Is 

A Cooperative Act

And 

To Enjoy The Joys At The Right Hand Of The Lord 

Requires Reciprocated Love! 

Do You Love The Lord!?! 

Are You Touching The Lord!?! 

Are You Seeing The Lord!?! 

Are You At The Lord's Right Hand
The Right Hand Of Almighty Power!?! 

Please, Brethren, 

Check Yourselves 

And 

Dare To Get Right With The Lord Today

For Peace ... And Joy!

Please Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Watch, Work, And Humbly Wait 
As A True Warrior For The Holy Faith
Until He Shall Come To Claim Us
Who Are Known To Be His Very Own:

His Glory Awaits His Children Faithful!

HAPPY SABBATH + Jesus, Lover Of My Soul ...!

He Wanted A Relationship!
I Wanted A "Friend!"
Do You Understand?!

I Sure Do!
Friends With Benefits
AND
No Responsibilities!

He Kept Calling ... Relationship!
I Kept Answering ... Friend!
And This Went On For Quite A While
Until
I Said: Okay. Friendly-Relationship!
AND
Would You Believe It?!
He Just Gave Me The Most Beautiful Smile!
Those Eyes!

The Friendly Relationship Was Onesided!
Well, To Be Be Quite Honest
It Had Two Sides:
He Gave!
I Took!

My Hand Was Always Open
BUT
My Heart Was A Story Book!
It Had Nuff Pages!

Every Single Solitary Day
He Told Me He Loved!
He Called Me "Beloved!"
AND
"Precious Child!"
AND
If I So Much As Started To Think Of A Whimper
Immediately
He Is At My Side!
Honestly
Before I Knew I Had A Need
He Has Provided For Me!
I Didn't "Get" Him!

I Am Innately Selfish!
Decidedly Conceited!
Definitely Belligerent!
AND
Truly Own Way!
And If You Were To Call Me A Donkey
Believe Me
You Would Not Be Wrong
Is All I Will Say!

Well ... Time Passed As Time Does.
Slowly At First And Then Fastly Slow
AndThen One Day I Noticed Something!
He Had On Me Started To Grow!

At First
It Was That I Loved Him
BECAUSE
Of What He Is Always Doing For Me
AND THEN
I Loved Him
BECAUSE
In Him Is Protection!
There Is For Me ... Safety!

One Time
I Really Looked At Him
AND
It Was As Though I Was Seeing Him
For The Very First Time
AND
Before The Old Cat Could Lick His Torn Ear
I Was Seeing
I Am Seeing
Seeing
AND
Believing
That He ... To Me
Is Someone Most Dear!

The Day Finally Came
When At His Voice So Gentle
My Hard Heart Cracked
AND
In My Chest Did A Lurch
AND
Suddenly
Instantly
Momentously
I Knew
That He Is The One
That Made Me Think To
Want To
Go To My Father God
In The Temple Not Made With Hands
To Say My Vows
AND
Accept His Long Stated
But Now New Read
AND
Finally Believed Covenant
That He Will Not My Soul Deceive!

I Was Broken!
My Heart Was Contrite
AND
I Cried
AND
He Washed My Eyes With His Tears!

I Actually
Willingly
Earnestly Confessed My Sins Against Him
AND
He Was Not Angered!
He Showed Me Great Grace!
I Felt His Mercy For Me
AND
He Gave Me His Peace ... Within!
With Him
I Am Not On A Rotting Limb!

I Hear You!

I Am His!
I Am Sheltered!
I Am Fed!
I Am Delivered From Sure Death
The Death That Kills One In Hell
AND
It Is All Because
I Finally Saw 
I Truly See
The Light ... Of My Life
AND
I Am In Raptures Of Heavenly Delight!

Now ...

I Love Him ... For Himself!
If He Never Gave Me Another Gift
I Will Still Love Him
For
He Is The Lover
Not Of My Body
BUT
The Lover Of My Soul!

In His Love
AND
In The Day That He Has Appointed
I Shall Be Anointed
Glorified
Immortalized
For
We Are One
In The Spirit
AND
We Walk In Accord!

He Sounds Wonderful!

He Is ... And He Is A Counsellor!
Would You Like To Meet Him?!

What Have I Got To Lose?!

Absolutely Nothing!
His Name Is Jesus Christ
AND
He Is My Savior
My Redeemer
My Lord
AND
My God!

All I Will Say Is
Thank God He's Not That Known Fraud!

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul!
With All That Is Within Me
I Praise His Holy Name!

AMEN!
