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!
