The Sabbath Is A Blessing! + PRAYER: Open Our Eyes, Lord



The Sabbath Is A Blessing!
It Gives To All
Quiet Time
To Spend In Worship of 
The Holy God!
The Living God!
The Divine!

Let Us Honor God With Our Worship!
Let Us Honor God By Our Rest!
Let Us Honor God
With Our Quietness
As We Rest In God And De-stress!

God Promised A Special Blessing 
For Resting On His Sabbath Day!
God Promised To Bless Those 
Who Will His Voice Humbly Obey!

God Promised!
God's Word Is Faithful
So
Let Us Be Faithful
For We Will Be Doubly Blessed
On The Holy Sabbath Day Of Rest!


PRAYER:

Lord,
When Will We Accept
That We Are Weak?
When Will We Accept
That You Are Strong?

When Will We Accept
That We Are Blind?
When Will We Believe
That You -  God -  All Things See?

Have Mercy On Us
In Our Folly And Disbelief
And
Grant Us New Insight
As We Face Our Various
Losses and Calamities
To Truly See
And
Accept
That You Are Holy
Wholly Divinity!

Father,
Help Us To Ever Humbly Bow 
To Your Sovereign Will
For You Heal 
And 
Seal
All Of The Faithful Believing of
Teeming Humanity
By Your Love
Through Your Grace
And
In Your Mercy!

Open Our Eyes, Lord
And
Help Us To Call You ...
Our Almighty God!

Have Mercy And Bless
In Jesus' Holy Name!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Bridle My Tongue!











Lord, I Need Inner Resources
When I Feel Put-upon
When The World is Ruffling My Feathers
When Evil is Grinding My Small Toes
And Everywhere I Turn Is A New Foe!

Lord, I Do Not Want To Be The Complainer
But You Are My Lord and My God
So I Am Making Petition
Against My Mortal Enemy, King Fraud!

Please Help Me, Father
For I Am Listing and
Almost Ready To Turn My Flesh Loose
And Ask You To Grant Me Five Minutes
To Tell One or Two People Some Home Truths
BUT
Your Charge To Me
Is to Maintain
A Quiet and Gentle Spirit Always
So I - of Carnal Mind - am Begging You, Lord
Please Do Not Let Me Send The Holy Spirit On
The Proverbial Roman Holiday!

I Love You, Lord, and I Bless You
For Your Constant Blessing on Me!
I am Grateful, Lord, and I am Happy To Know
That You Won't Reject Me When
 I Descend Into A Momentary Round of Folly!

My Actions, Lord, are not Deliberate!
It is just that Turning My Cheek 
Is Really Getting Old
BUT
Because I Desire To Have You as King of My Soul
I am Beseeching, Lord
Please, Won't You of This Poor Life Take Control?!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Inheritance!









Daddy said that when he died, I would have an inheritance
Daddy died - I held out My hand
Inheritance? 
Done gone! 
Run away!

When she married, her husband said
When he dies she will have an inheritance
Hubby died
Inheritance?
Denied!
Bills and taxes multiplied!

She went to Jesus
And he said:
"I died! You have an inheritance!
Glory supplied bona fide!"

But she?
She stuttered
And ... lied:

"I wanted the World!"

And that is when Life became Base 
As she whirled and twirled!

She became ... You Me!
Frolic became Folly!
Dancing was no more Jolly!
Things became a drag! - I was eating ... dust!

I got up out of The Dirt and
Called to Jesus - He didn't desert
And I prayed earnestly for My Cleansing
After behaving like a totally sinful jerk!

My Inheritance from The Divine
Is Mine - take or decline - I make The Choice
Not Circumstance 
Not Human Whim
Never HIM!

I Trust in The Lord!
He is Ever Faithful 
With Punishment and Reward!
My Inheritance is Mine!
I, alone, make The Receipt or Rejection Call.


We can't Hold 
The World and The Lord 
at one and the same time!

Take the World 
and
We Give Up 
Our Heavenly Inheritance!

Take JESUS
and
We Receive 
The Eternal
Heavenly
Unchanging
Unchangeable
Unfailing
Unrecallable 
Totally Touchable
Embraceable
Non-reducible
Non-taxable
Non-divisible
Unsharable
Ever-expanding
Inheritance
of
The Believing
Faithful
Righteous
Overcoming Child 
of 
God All-Glorious!

HAPPY SABBATH + Eyes Outside Time









God is unhampered
With The Constraints of Time!
Even though I get angry
His Eyesight is fine
To see, and to know, what is waiting down the Road -
I need to get over My upsets
And #LetGodTakeControl!

My Eyesight is straitened!
My Knowledge is constrained!
My Actions have consequences and
Someone else gets blamed
When My cockups cause Me tears
And frustrations are frets -
Thank God for Jesus who hasn't failed Me yet.

Time is for Mere Mortals
#EternityIsGod's
Ignore Satan and his messengers
Those blighted, benighted, lying frauds
Who would have us believing that
Time is a toy
And that because of their influence
We will have untrammeled joys
No matter the Matter
No matter the Mode
No matter the Mess
Get your joy
Don't take excuse nor "No!" 

But let Me inform us that
Our God made The Law!
Don't ignore Him!
Don't bypass Him!
Don't give Him no jaw!
Don't call Him a reject -
His Name is Glorious and
He does not have flaws!

Give Him your utmost respect
For His Eyes travel along
Unrestricted through Our My space and His Time
He sees knows what's comings 
Before we have toes, and a look behind!

Sit stand recline ... but listen
When talking to The Lord
He is All knowing
All Seeing
Ever Present
Almighty God
He holds our time, times and Time in His Hand
He is Trustworthy
He is The Lord
Maker of Man's eyes
Giver of Light
Bestower of Sight
Light in The Night
Dealer in Right
Eternity's Might
Giver of Daylight
Pitcher of Starlight
And My God
Yes, Mine!

Universe can't contain Him
But My Heart can hold 
Joy Sublime
The Great God - Ever Glorious
He IS The Divine
The Divine Ruler of ... Time!

No Created Being Is God To Nor For Me!





#AManCanNeverBeGod, and
I am not my own god!
I cannot protect perfect My Self for
Chaos and Confusion follows
And guns get taken off book shelves!

I am a Created Being!
The Living God - Himself - laid me out!
He numbered the hairs on my head
And made it possible for me to skip, and shout, and run about!

My Purpose was set forth for me:
Worship God, Honor and Obey!
And the Freewill that He gave me
I give it back to Him everyday.

I do not choose to be Willful and Wicked!
I do not choose to Sin - just because!
But because I am a Fallible Being
I place My Trust in The Holy God!

God set forth The Plan of Salvation!
His Beloved Son chose to die for me
And because of The Blessings I'm receiving
I choose God - not man, nor vanity!

I am not my own God!
I bow before The Lord - Jesus Christ is He!
I worship and bow down before God Almighty, and
Not some clown who goes to the bathroom just like you and me!


There is No God 

BUT

The God of The Holy Bible!

The Creator of Heaven and Earth

The Seas 

and 

The Fountains of Water 

as set forth 

in 

The Fourth Commandment 

in 

Exodus 20:8-11




as set forth in Genesis 1:1




as set forth in John 1:1-4
