VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Envy Who For What!?!




Unhappy People Seek To Make Happy People Unhappy! 

And 

Envious People Seek To Make Contented People Envious! 

Envy Is To Lie 
What Contentment Is To Truth 
And
We, As Bible-Believing, Christ-Following Christians
Must Guard Our Hearts Against The Pin-Pricks Of Satan 
Which Cause Slow-Leaks In Our Balloon Of Blessing 
Which Will Never Burst 
If
We Ever Choose To Trust In The Truth Of God
Walk In The Wisdom Of The Wise
And 
Let Unfailing Faith Free Us 
From The Folly Of Fretting Over The Finite! 

Beloved, 

When Your Father Is The Living God
And
The Streets Of His City Are Known Paved With Gold
And 
The Twelve Foundations Of That City 
Are Known To Be Precious Stones
Our Having To Temporarily Walk On Streets Of Dirt 
To Experience Deprivation 
And 
Acquire A Ram-Rod Backbone 
Through Our Experiences In Our "Year Abroad" 
Should Strengthen Us 
And 
Delight Us At One And The Same Time! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Date With Destiny, With Divinity
And 
The Outcome Of That Date 
Is 
By Our Own Devising! 

Almighty God Gives Good Gifts 
So Let Us Not Be Self-Indulgent
And 
Prideful
And 
Reject The Training Of The Lord! 

We Receive What The Lord Desires Us To Have
For Our Never-Sorry Blessing! 

Envy Serves No Good Purpose: 
Ask Lucifer The Light-Bearer Who Became, By Envious Choice
Satan The Adversary Of The Living God 
And 
All That Is Good! 

Let's Be Satisfied In And With The Savior 
And 
Be Calmly Contented In Christ! 

God Is! 

Peace!

It Is Better Not To Know The Truth!?!



What Has And Is-Been The Curse Upon Your Family That
By Your Acknowledgement As A Committed Christian
Will At One And The Same Time 
Mark You As One Of "Them" By Outsiders 
And 
As An Outsider By The Them With Whom You Are Known Family!?! 

Is It Envy, Greed, The Unforgiving Spirit
Being A Know-Nothing Know-It-All
Hatred Of Authority
Practiced Wickedness
Head's-Down Bum's-Up Aka Ostrich-Itis
Carnality
Five-Finger Discounting Aka Thievery
Bring-A-Bone Carry-A-Bone Specializing Aka Gossiping
Or Gluttony
Which All Will Keep You Out Of The Glorious Kingdom!?! 

Beloved Believer, 

For Us To Leave Here 
To Go Over There To Be With Our Dear Savior 
"Forever And Ever, Amen!" 
We Must Do Some Serious Internal Housekeeping 
By The Grace Of The The Eternal God 

And

We Will Not Be Permitted To Glom On To That 
Carry-All Bag Of Self-Deception 
"It Is Better Not To Know The Truth!" 
Which Is Mainly Used As The Excuse To "Done" All Excuses: 

If I Know I Will Have To Change My Ways 
Or Do Something That I Don't Want To Do 
Or See Something That I Don't Want To Face 
Or Apologize For Something That I Prefer To Ignore 
Or Care About Something That I Rabidly Choose To Despise! 

Dear Ones, 

Just As Babies Have Tummy-Time To Strengthen Their Core
We Christians Need To Use Mirror-Time 
For More Than Self-Adoration! 

Dare To Make Wrong Things Right!  

Peace!

Wicked People Earn Two Pay-Checks!




We Are Finite Creatures With Delusions Of Grandeur 
When We Walk Around With Malice, Envy, And Greed In Our Hearts 
Making Plans For People And Their Property! 

Beloved, 

Meet King Ahab And His Queen Jezebel! 

Could You Imagine 
A Powerful King So Weak As To Take To His Bed
Sucking His Thumb 
And 
Refusing His Din-Din 
Because 
He Wanted Another Man's God-Given, Law-Sealed, Property!?! 

Imagine Also 
His Dead-Conscience, Wicked, Idolatrous, Power-Mad Queen 
Who Believed That Title And Power Equalled 
Fulfilled Desire: Satisfaction Achieved 
Aka I'll Have You Killed And My Hubby Will Own Your Farm 
To Get A Few Eggs From Your Prize-Winning Chickens 
Since He Desires A Fluffy Omelette To Satisfy His Current "Hangry" Itch! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Hide And Buy Ground 
But 
We Can't Hide And Reap It! 

Pay-Back Aka Retributive Justice
Maybe From Man
And 
Definitely From The Living God
Is 
Always On Tap! 

Satan Has Poisoned This Earth 
With The Same Vile Spirit 
Which Caused His Dismissal From His Position 
As Lucifer-Light-Bearer! 

When We Plot To Get What Is Not Ours To Own
We Get To Own What Was Not Part Of Our Plot! 

Official Job:
Official Pay! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Self-Employed Wicked Workers Decide Their Own Pay 
When By Sin 
And 
For Satisfaction 
They Gleefully Do Their "Pleasant Work!" For Free! 

Wicked People Earn Two Pay-Checks: 
What They Demand 
And
What The Lord Commands! 

Our Savior States His Saints' Soul-Satisfying Salary! 

Be A Saint: 
There Is A Limit To Sin! 

The Day Of Visitation Is On The Wing! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Please Do Not Be Like Own-Way Children!








Evadney, Do You Know That You Are Being Held!?!

I Sure Do! 
I Am Sheltered By ... And Held 
In The  Comforting Arms Of The Almighty God!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! 
Not That Held!

Come On Now! 
What Other Held Could There Possibly Be!?!

You Asked So Let Me Answer You!
You're A Sinner And You're Held By H.E.L.D.!

Held By Held!?!
Big WhooHoo!

Please Don't Say That! 
I'm Very Serious!

Okay, Okay! 
Tell Me Who Or What Is This "Held" That's Holding Me!?!

H.E.L.D. Has A Hold On You!
Hate, Envy, Lust, And Deceit 
Have Got You In Their Gross Grip 
And They Ain't Gonna Let You Go Free
Unless You Let Our King Jesus Break Their Grip!
It's Either That Or Suffer The Full And Final Effects Of Man's Fall! 







Restrictions, Requirements, Reproofs: 
Man Hates Rules! 

Who Is Better, Wiser, And Stronger Than 
The Lord Jesus Christ!?! 

Like Own-Way Children
We Often Act As Though We Are Better At Organizing Our Lives
Wiser To Make Decisions To Guide Our Lives
And 
Stronger Than The Enemy Desiring To Destroy Us 
And 
All That We Hold Dear 
Including Our Saving Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

There Is None Better, Wiser, Or Stronger Than 
The Lord God Almighty Who Made And Maintains
Saves And Sustains
Provides For And Protects Us All! 

Restrictions Protect! 
Reproofs Correct! 
Requirements Direct! 

And 

The God Of Grace And Glory 
Who Directs, Corrects, And Protects Us 
Is 
Able, Available, And Awaiting Our Answer 
To His Call To Everlasting Life! 

Our God The Almighty ... Strong To Save
Is 
Awake
Aware
Ahead Of The Curve
And 
All-Around Awesome! 

Brethren, Beloved

How About Deciding To Let Our Dear Savior 
Surprise And Amaze Us Today 
Since There Is Nothing That We May Think, Say, Or Do 
Which Will Surprise Or Amaze Him!?! 

Jesus Christ Desires To Save Me And You
So Dare To Grab Grace 
And 
Inevitably Hold Glory! 

Peace!

Consider Your Ways ... And Please The Lord!




Let No Human Or Malevolent Spirit Fool You: 
Attitude About 
And
Behavior Towards The Lord Are Everything! 

Our Blessings And Our Prosperity 
Depend Upon Our Total Obedience 
To The Word And The Will Of Our Almighty God! 

Partial Obedience Is Disobedience ... Which Is Dangerous 
And
Willful Disobedience Is  Deadly! 
Just Ask Nadab, Abihu, Achan
Hophni, Phineas, Balaam, And King Saul! 

Disobedience Comes Of The PEG
Aka Pride, Envy, And Greed
Which Is In The Devil's Domain! 

Nothing Good Ever Came Or Will Come From 
The Hand Of Satan! 

Beloved, 

See Sin With Your Eyes 
But 
Don't Ever Choose To Romance It 
No Matter How Beautiful
Mouth-Watering
Or Potentially Profitable Its Appearance! 

The Lord Asks Us To Consider Our Ways 
Because 
Our Unsancitified Ways Obviously Do Not Please Him 
Even As They Do Not Bless Us! 

Folly Is Not Common-Sense! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Follow Uncommon Sense
Aka Faith
And 
Bless Almighty God With Our Willing, Ready, Obedience! 

When Our Ways Please The Lord
He Causes Our Enemies To Be At Peace With Us! 

Best Of All, Though
When We Seek The Kingdom Of God 
And 
Make It First In Our Affections
The Necessities Of Life Will Always Be Provided To Us 
And
We Shall Surely Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Peace!



PRAYER:

Father, 
Please Help Us To Be Wise Unto Salvation 
So That Our Ways Will Please You Today! 
AMEN.

We Have The Word Of The God Who Is The Truth!








Ask In Saving Faith 
And 
It Shall Be Given! 

Seek With Enduring Faith 
And 
It Will Be Found! 

Knock On The Door In Child-Like Trust Aka Unfailing Faith 
And 
It Shall Surely Be Opened Unto You! 

Beloved, 

Would You Give Up Promised, Sure And Secure 
But
Presently Unseen Everlasting Riches And The Weight Of Glory Divine 
For Seen And Unsecure, Unprofitable Riches Of Unrighteousness 
Because Of 
Your Unwarranted Envy Of Those Who Are Rich, Rude, Ruthless
Ungovernable
Unafraid Of The Frowning Judge And The Wrath To Come
And 
Unshamed Of Their Ungodly Deeds 
Which Grant Them The Life Of Ease And Excess Because Of Access!?! 

Brethren, Beloved 

We Have The Word Of Him Who Is The Truth 
Who Cannot Lie 
And
Did Not Lie To Save His Own Skin 
But
Told The Truth To Save Our Lives 
And 
Lost His Own! 

We Have A Guarantee, In Blood, Of A Life Of Bliss
Beauty, Benefits, And Brotherhood 
If
We Will Choose To Believe It 
And
Hold The Given Promise In Our Hearts 
As We Hold Our Lord Jesus Christ's Unchanging Hand! 

Think, Dear Ones! 
No Earthly Portion Or Profit Or Peace Is Everlasting! 

When We Choose, By Faith, To Make Jesus Our Choice
Our Life In Time ... Though Often Bitter
Is 
Made Better, Sweeter
Because 
The Best Of Almighty God's Great Gifts To Us 
Is 
Just Up Ahead, Around Bend, And Across The River! 

We, With Patient Faith, Rest In Peace In The Gospel Truth
The Living Truth
So Choose To Trust In
And 
Look Up To Almighty God To Go Up ... To Glory! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Discontentment Is Satanic!




Stop Letting The Eyes Of Others Spend Your Money 
Aka Stop Allowing The Envy Of People's Stuff And Nonsense 
To Debit Your Bank Account, Literal And Spiritual! 

Someone's Eyes Saw "It" First! 
Someone's Hands Acquired "It" First
And 
Now Your Heart Is Viewing "It" 
Through Someone Else's Vision 

And

Your Once-Contented Heart Has Become That Of 
A Discontented Brown Cow 
Who Kicks Over The Pail Of White Milk That 
She Ate Much Green Grass To Produce 
To Bless Many Others! 

Beloved, 

Discontentment Is Satanic 
And 
This Is Why We Are Instructed To Be Contented 
With Such Things As We Already Have! 

No Christian Should Ever Want To Have 
Their Last Stand Be, Nor Die, On The Hill Called Envy! 

Do You Know How Who Got What!?! 

Are You Able To Do What Was Done 
To Have What That Person Holds!?! 

Will Your Maker, Savior, Healer, Helper, Sealer 
Be Satisfied With Your Vain Choice!?! 

Please Do Not Allow Someone's Mouthful To Block Your Airway 
Aka Don't Let Look-At 
Cause You To Buy Can't-Afford 
At Even-If-Kills-Me Mercantile Exchange! 

Satan The Damned Tried That For The Win: 
He Failed At Winning
Had A Partial Win At Lying
And 
Is Waiting For The Grand Finale: 
Eternally Dying! 

This One Time, Dear Ones 
Learn Something Profitable From King Fraud: 

Envy Kills The Future
By Blighting The Present!

Listen Carefully
Obey Unwaveringly
And 
Live Enduringly By Every Blessed Word That 
Comes From The Mouth Of The Lord! 

Peace!

ROAD TO RUINATION: Envy Is Like Green On Speed!






Envy Is Like Greed On Speed! 
Both Of These Are Tools Of The Devil 
So Please Do Not Allow Them In Your Life To Lead! 

Satisfaction And Love And Contentment Make Gratitude Shine 
So Do Yourself A Favor 
And 
Do Not For Unreceived Things Pine! 

Satan Started Us On This Road To Ruination 
And 
Sad To Say, Beloved
It Is In Every Family
At Every Station Of Life
And 
In Every Nation! 

But

Let Us Thank Almighty God For Jesus Christ Our King 
Who Has Told Us About 
And 
Shown Us How To Be Contented With Such Things As We Have 
Because
He Has Promised Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us: 
This Wonderful Blessing Should Make Our Hearts Truly Glad! 

Let's Enjoy The Walk Along Green Pastures
And 
Eat Our "Grass" With Joy! 

Let's Drink Our Still Aka Easily Accessible Water To Satisfaction
And 
Let Our Souls Be Restored: 
This Is Not A Lost Man's Fad! 

We Have Oil To Anoint Our Heads! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Keep In Remembrance That 
A Table Sumptuously Set For You
For Raging Enemies To See
Is 
The Promise Of The Kind King
Our Master
The Loving Shepherd
Who Leads Us, His Obedient Sheep, Ever So Gently! 

Be Grateful: 
He Is Gracious! 

Be Thankful: 
He Is Merciful! 

Be Prayerful: 
He Answers On Time
And 
The Results Are Glorious! 

The Great Day Is Coming: 
You Do Not Want To Be Left Out Of The Eternal Blessings! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Bless Almighty God For What You Know That You've Got!
All Of Our Needs Are Met! 

Peace!

PUZZLE: Almighty God's Plan!







Brethren, Beloved, 

Listen Carefully To Me! 
You Are A Part Of The Lord's Plan
- A Puzzle To Man -
So Look Carefully For 
And 
Be Your Piece 
If 
You Desire To Enter The Heavenly Land!

Jesus Christ The Righteous, The Lord, The King
Is 
The Center 
And
The Corners Four 
And
He Makes Up All The Borders 
Outside Of Which There Is No Safe Harbor
No Peaceful Shore! 

A Finished Puzzle Has All Of Its Pieces In Place 
And 
It Is Certain, I Can Tell You, When The Puzzle Is Completed 
There Will Be No Piece Missing, Askew, Or Out Of Its Place! 

Think Careful! 
Act Wisely! 
Don't Try To Fit Where You Cannot! 

The Lord Christ, Our Creator
Has Created For You A Perfect Spot 
So Do Not Envy Others 
Or Vainly Try To Stand In Their Slot! 

Your Edges Are Fixed! 
Your Picture Is Sure! 
Your Position Is Immovable! 
You Cannot Be In The Middle 
When Your Place 
Is 
Close To Him Who Is Also Called The Door! 

Isn't The Lord Everywhere!?! 

Sit Down Firmly In Your Slot! 
Fill Full Your Lot! 
Hold The Fort Until You Are Sealed 
And 
Surely You Will Fulfill Your Mission 
According To The Lord's "Clock!" 

Lock In! 
Keep Your Face Up! 
Make Sure That Your Vessel 
Is 
The Filled With Blessings Cup! 

Peace!

Blessed In Sin!?! Really!?!

 




"If" 
Is 
A Condition Of Performance
So Let No One Fool You: 
The Blessings Of The Lord Are Conditional Upon 
Our Willing Obedience To His Word Which States His Will 
And 
Encourages Us To Walk In His Ways! 

Adam And Eve's Residence In The Garden Of Eden 
Was Maintained By Their Obedience To The Word 
Not To Eat Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil! 

They, Instead, Took The Word Of A Lying Snake
Behaved In A Satanic Way
And 
Were Chased Out Of Eden 
Never Again To Walk Peacefully In The Cool Of The Day 
With Their Creator, Lord, God, And Glorious King! 

Beloved, 

The Sin Of Disobedience Brings With It Deflection 
Aka The Ready Willingness To Blame Others For Our Cockups: 
The Devil Can't Make You Do Anything! 

There Is This Rubbish Statement That 
Is 
Uttered To Impress The Impressionable 
And 
The Untaught, The Unlearned, In The Ways Of The Living God: 

"Look At Me! 
Envy Me! 
I Have Lots Of Stuff! 
I Am Truly Blessed By The Lord!" 

Know This ...

Holiday Turkeys Have Lots Of Stuff In Them 
And 
They Get Eaten! 

Fancy Stores Have Expensive Stuff In Them 
And 
They Get Robbed 

... And ... 

Having Lots Of Stuff In Your House 
And 
No Peace With Almighty God 
And 
No Love For Others In Your Heart 
Is 
A Curse! 

May Jesus Christ Bless Us All With Humility, Wisdom
And 
Understanding To Rightly Use Available Knowledge 
To Gain The True Heavenly Blessings! 

Peace!

Earthly Stuff Cannot Enter
The Eternal City!

SELF-MADE LUXURY COFFIN: Don't Be A Sensation Chaser!







Are You So Offended At The Lord 
Because 
He Didn't Make You Rich Here And Now That 
You Would Despise His Blessing 
Which Will Make You Rich For All Eternity!?! 

Are You So Envious Of Someone Else's Gifts
Talents And Accomplishments That 
You Willingly Despise Your Own 
And 
Call Them Junk, Trash, A Waste Of Time 
Even Though People Have Been 
And 
Are Blessed By Your Hand!?! 

Are You So Self-Absorbed That 
You Would Prefer To Act Like A "Vampire" 
In A Self-Made "Luxury" Coffin 
Rather Than To Be Free As A Brown Bird 
In The Wild ... In The Thick Of Things
Thankfully Singing His Morning Praises 
To His Blessed Creator 
Even Though Predators Abound!?!

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 

Days Without Rain Are Not Promised 
And
Neither Are Roses Without Thorns! 
Our Dear Savior Jesus Has Promised 
Always With Us To Walk Along! 
This Journey To Zion That We Are Making
Is 
For The Perfecting Of Godly Character
And 
Any Who Are Not Willing To Walk The Talk
Will Surely On The List Of 
The Eternally Blessed And Saved 
Most Definitely Not Be Chalked! 

Look Up To The Hills And Declare That 
All Your Help Comes From The Lord 
And
Remind Yourself, Dear Loved One, That 
The Lord Gives To Us What He Deems Fit
The Best
For Each Day! 

Please Don't Be A Sensation Chaser! 
Be Contented In Christ: 
Believe The Living Word 
And 
Be Gloriously Blessed! 
Jehovah Jireh! 

Peace!

Be Grateful Aka Thankful!








Gratitude Aka Thankfulness 
Is 
A Grace ... A Gift Given! 

Are You Grateful For What You Have 
Or Are You Looking At The "Good Stuff" 
The Expensive Toys 
Which Are In The Possession Of Other People 
And
Are Making Yourself Miserable About Your Own Life 
Because 
You Refuse To See The Obvious!?!

You Are Greatly Beloved
And
Truly Blessed!

Beloved, 

The Blind One Envies The One Who Wears Glasses! 

The Man Who Wears Cheap Shoes 
Envies The Man Who Wears Expensive Shoes 
But 
Surprise, Surprise, No Shock
They Are Both Envied By The Man Who Has No Feet
The Man Who Has Legs But Can't Walk
And 
The Man Who Has No Legs At All! 

We Need To Be Truly Grateful 
For Almighty God's Many Gifts Of Unmerited Favor 
And
Stop Being Lip Servants
Saying That You're Blessed
While Envy Is Consuming Your Heart! 

We Have Food In Abundance 
Which Gives Us Choices As To What We May Eat 
When And Where! 

We Have Clothing In Abundance 
To The Point That We Can Say 
"I Am Not Wearing That Because It's So Last Year!" 
Or 
"I Wore That Twice!" 
In Base Pridefulness! 

Oh, That We Would Realize That 
The Things We Despise 
Are The Very Things Others Would 
Literally Kill To Possess! 

Food, Shelter, Clothing
Care, Comfort
Peace With God ... And Our Brethren
And 
Good Health 
Are Treasures Beyond Measure! 

Please Honestly Look At The Person In Smelly Rags
Barefooted And Dirt-Encased
Eating Out Of The Garbage
And 
Living On The Street 
And
In Heartfelt Gratitude Say: 

"There, But For The Grace Of God, Go I!" 

Our Gifts Are Many
Our Blessing Are Innumerable
So Please Do Not Consider Them
As Cheap Things Consumable! 

Peace!

FAIR IS FAIR: Is There Someone You Despise, Envy, Or Hate!?!





There's An Old Saw That Says: 

He Who Steals My Possessions, Makes Me Poor 
And 
Enriches Himself 
But
He Who Steals My Good Name 
Does Not Enrich Himself 
But 
Makes Me Poor Indeed! 

Beloved, 

He Who Steals Your Possessions
Steals What Can Be Replaced 
But
He Who Steals Your Good Name
Aka Your Character
Goes As Far As Being Willing To Take Your Very Life 
Which Neither He Nor She Can Replace 
Or Profit From Eternally! 

Sooo, The Question Is This: 

"Is There Someone ... Anyone
Who You Despise, Envy
Or Hate Enough That 
You Would Be Willing To Give Up Heaven 
To See Them, Or Help To Have Them, Destroyed!?!" 

Are You Sure!?! 

Jesus Christ, Our Great Example
Made Himself Of No Reputation 
So That We Will Have His Character 
His Good Name
And Thereby
Be Blessed And Saved! 

With This Said
Who Are We, You And I, That 
We Should Seek To Destroy Those 
Whom Jesus Christ Died To Save!?! 

Have You Considered 
That In Plotting And Working Someone's Destruction 
That Someone Else 
Is 
Plotting And Working Out Your Destruction!?! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Do Unto Others 
What You Desire To Have Done Unto You! 

Fair Is Fair: 
         Fear Is Fear: 
                 Fare Is Fare! 
                 What You Did:
         What You'll Feel:
What You'll Pay To Get Where You Are Going!

Heaven 
Is 
Our Own To Gain:  
Is Your Heart Right With The Good Lord!?! 

Peace!
