VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 

We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 

And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall

Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 

And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 

Pay Attention! 

If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 

Having To Interact With Someone 

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil

And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 

Their Practiced Wickedness

And They Don't Seem To Care That 

There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations

And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 

Is Surely Going To End

Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 

Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 

And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 

The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 

That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 

I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 

If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 

At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment

And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 

If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 

Seeing Someone Behave Like That 

Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil

Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View

And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 

About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 

And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 

Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 

Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan

Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 

Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 

What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself

And For The Brethren

And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 

Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 

Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 

Please Protect Us From The Evil One 

And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 

In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 

Grant Us Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + THE LORD COMMANDS: Hearken And Do!

Do You Hear The Still Small Voice Of God

The Holy Spirit Of Truth!?! 

How Well Do You Listen!?! 

Do You Diligently Follow The Lord's Commands Obediently 

Or

Do You Take His Commands As Recommendations 

And

Then Use Your "Solutions" 

To Fix What Only The Living God May Cure!?! 

Remember Lot's Wife! 

The Lord Warns His People Before Disaster Strikes! 

With Compassion For Our Human Weaknesses

And 

Despite Our Tepid Obedience

The Lord Helps Us So That We Are Not Destroyed: 

We Are Usually Left With The Scars And The "Tee-Shirts" 

To Show The Results Of Our Lack Of Bold Faith 

As A Plain Warning To Others! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Asks Us To Be Still 

And 

Know That He Is God

And 

To Be Still And See Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

The Lord Warns Us To Go In One Direction 

And 

To Return Another Way! 

He Says Do Not Eat Or Drink 

In Known Sinful Places! 

The Lord Warns Us Not To Allow Others To Divert Us 

From The Path Of Righteousness 

And

He Makes It Clear That 

When He Commands You To Go For Him That 

He Will Never Send Another Being 

To Change His Direct Commands 

Personally Given To You! 

We Have Free-Will And Choice! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit The Loud And Obnoxious Voices

The Busyness Of Life

And

The Race To Get Gain And Power 

To Cause You Not To Hear 

And 

Heed The Voice Of Almighty God 

By The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

Who Is Leading Us Safely Home 

Via Guidance, Warning ... And Correction!

Jesus, The Lamb Of God, Is The Truth:

Listen To 

And 

Obey The Lamb! 

Hearken And Do: 

Blessings Await! 

Peace!

Doubt Deals Death And Destruction!

God Says:
"Have Faith!"
Scientific Man Stresses:
"Indulge Doubt!"

God Says:
"Walk Not Be Sight!"
"You'd Better Recognize!"
Worldly-wise Man Boldly, Insultingly, Shouts!

Almighty God Made Man!
Finite Man Makes I-Seeing Gods!
God Says:
"Follow Me!"
Evolutionary Man Says:
"I Can't - Won't - Follow What My Eyes Can't See!"

God Says:
"Faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen!"

Faithless Man Says:
"Show Me ...
The Money
The Man
The Method
The Manner
The Means
The Modes
The Might
The Mold
The Majesty
The Ministry
The Misery
The Picked Cherry
The Soul's Sole
AND THEN
Just Maybe
I Will Be On "It!" Sold!

God Says:
"Come!"
Self-Made Man Says:
Sure ... After I See You
Feel You
Taste You
Touch You
AND
Hear You
In Full Cinematic Mode!
Unless There Is A Full Hollywood-Sanctioned Presentation
A Blockbuster Blow-Out
I Proffer
You Are Neither Worthy
Nor Worthwhile!
You're Wanting!
Wishful Thinking!
I Shall You Pass By!
Bye!  Bye!
I'm Out!

Alas! Alas ...

The Day Is Coming
AND
It's Already Here
When Men
Through Their Over-Wrought Eyes
Shall Be Led
By The Damned Devil
To The Unbelievers' Despair
When Those Who Saw
With The Blind Eyes Of Faith
Shall Hear
See
AND
Rise Up
To Meet Their Longed-For Lord
AND
God
In The Open Atmosphere!

The Wilfully Sighted
Shall Be Blinded By Glorious Light!
The Blind-Faith Faithful
Shall See Their Hope Realized
AND
In Joyous Celebration Cheer
AND
In That Moment
The Cry Of Despairing Hearts Shall Go Up:

Deceived! Deceived!

Rocks! Mountains!

Fall On Us!

Hide Us

For

The Wrath Of The Lamb Is Come

And

Our Doubt Has Cost Us

The Glorious Lot!

Deceived! Deceived By Satan's Own Hand

We Seeing, Saw Not

And

For This

We Shall Never Enter

Faith's Promised Land!

God Gave Eyes
BUT
He Asks Us To See Him 
Through The Believer's Love In Our Hearts
BY
Trusting His Word
AND
Not Worrying About
What He Has Not To Us Disclosed!

Faith Walks And Works!
Doubt Drags
Deceives
AND
Delivers Disaster!
Just "Ask" A Moses Hebrew
To Tell You Of 
Their Desert
AND
Promised Land
Odyssey Of Disaster!

Faith Earns!

Doubt Doesn't Discern!

*********

Doubt Is What

Faith Is Not!

Doubt Is

A Whole Lotta Talk

Which

At The Thought Of Walking

Balks!

*********

Trust God!

He Will Deliver You

AND

For You!
