HAPPY SABBATH + Filthy Rags!?!









When We Truly Realize 
And
Fully Accept That All That We Personally Call Our Righteousness 
Is 
As Filthy Rags To Our Maker
We Will Give The Eternal God His Glory
- Which He Will Not Share With Another - 
And
Resolutely Praise Him Who ... Alone
Is 
Righteous 
According To The Living God's Own Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

The Self-Righteous Person
Cannot Stand Before The Lord Christ In The Judgment 
To Plead His Own Cause! 

Self Is A Sinner 
And 
Sinners Without Christ Covering Their Confessed 
And 
Repented Of Sin 
Die In The Presence Of The Holy God! 

Let's Get Real! 
Let's Get Practical! 

We Are Clean Before The Lord 
When We Take The Lord As Shelter
Savior
Shepherd
And
Sanctifier! 

If We Are Not Wise Enough To Be Humble
It Is Sure Enough That 
Anything That We Present Before Almighty God 
Is 
A Dud, Dirty
Distinctly Defiling
Decidedly Dangerous
And 
Definitely Damning! 

We Are Required To Humble Ourselves 
Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
And
When We Do This With A Contrite Heart
- Sorrowing Over Sin - 
We Will Honor Our Maker 
According To How He Determines That 
We Should Come Before His Holy Presence! 

Please Don't Be Bold, Brazen
To Present Bitter Fruit To The Lord Of Love 
Who Has Shown 
And 
Is Daily Showing Us 
How We May Be Blessed And Saved!

Do Right 
Because 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Obedience Pays! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
Perfectly Precious!

Righteousness Exacts A Nation!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Oh, God, Our Help!







Rock Of Ages, Please Cleft For Me!
Because Of The Faith Of The Holy Jesus
I Find Sweet Rest In Thee!

Father,
I Love You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Bless Me, I Beseech You
Not To Indulge In Double-Minded Man's
World And Spirit Games!

I Desire To Do Your Will, Dear Father!
I Desire To Live In Peace With You!
I Desire Your Protection Through This Earthly Strife
Because I Desire To Safely Get Home To Glory
To Live Forever With You!

Father,
I Know From The Pages Of The Living Holy Word
That The Flesh And The Spirit
Cannot Peacefully Co-Exist
And I, By Faith
Ask For And Accept The Outpouring
And Indwelling  Of The Holy Spirit
And Request That You Accept The Key
To My Heart's Door
So That You May Direct And Control
Who And What 
May Enter And Find Residence Within It!

You Have Made It Abundantly Clear, My Father
That A Double-Minded Man Is Unstable In His Ways
And That Such An One Cannot Expect
To Receive A Blessing From Your High And Holy Hand
And, So, I Beseech You
Have Mercy On Me
And Help Me To Have A Clear And Simple
Only And Dear Focus
On The Lord Jesus Christ
And His Free And Gifted Offer Of
Life With Him, Eternally!

Life Eternal
Immortality
Home In The Land Of The Ever-Blessed
Incorrupibility
Truth In The Inward Parts
Blessings Of Peace And Rest
Forgiveness For Confessed Sin
Justification - Marking Me As One Who Has Never Sinned
Sanctification - Setting Me Apart For Your Holy Use
Father Of The Faithful Few,
This Is Just A Part Of My Expected, Received, Receiving List
Please Help Me Your Blessings Of Holy Love
And Loving Sacrifice
Never To Discount
Least-Count
Or, Heaven Forbid
Foolishly Refuse!

Help Me Not To Permit Myself
By Wicked Satan To Used!
Please Disabuse My Mind Of The Notion
That There Is Profit In Sin!
Please Encourage My Mind With The Truth
That There Is Eternal Profit
In Holy, Right-Way Walking!

Please Help Me To Honor You Always
In Thought
In Word And In Deed
So That In The Fullness Of Time
I Shall Be Enveloped In Your Glory
In Sight And Indeed!

Help Me, Today, To Control Myself!
Help Me To Guard My Heart!
Help Me Not To Play Footsie With Him
Who Wickedly Enjoys Having The World Believe That
He Is A Cartoon Clown Or
An Innocuous Elf On A Shelf!

Help Me To Expose The Works Of Old Satan
That Piercing Satan
That Liar Supreme
The Raiser Of Judas-Goats
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Of Jesus Christ, The Base Hater!

Father,
I Trust You!
I Am Working On Obeying You
Without Having The Fleshly Man's
Internal Debate!
Please Help Me To Let The Spirit Of Truth
In My Life Rule
So That At The Day Of Final Judgment
I Will Not Be Marked
A Condemned, Cast Into Outer Darkness
Irredeemable Fool!
Help Me To Ever Look To The Son!

Please Remember My Brethren
By Blood, By Affection, By Faith!
Please Remember Those Who Are Seeking The Savior
But Have Not Yet Committed
Of His Flesh And Blood
To Take The Taste
To See, Indeed, That He Is Good!

Please Remember The Base
The Vile, The Profane
The Abominable
Who In Time To Come
Will Seek Your Holy People To Destroy
And Keep Your Holy, Memorialized, Promise
To Keep Us Through That Strife
As You Kept Faithful Noah
And The Remnant
At The Time Of The World-Consuming Flood!

You Are Our Shelter
Whether The Wind Is Stormy
Or The Wind Is Calm!

You Are Our Provider
Whether We Can Purchase Our Own Food
Or Must Accept Charity
From The Hand Of Mortal Man!

You Are Our Rest
Whether We Sleep On Rocks Or Feathers
And, Blessedly, For Us Children Of The Dust
You Are The True And Holy, Living God Eternal
The One God Who Cares For And Blesses Us!

Help Us Not To Worship Useless Idols!
Bless Us To Share Our Faith 
With Them Who Do Not Yet Know Your Name
So That They, Too
May Be Blessed And Forever Saved!

Father,
I Pray For Those Who Mourn
And For Those Who Anticipate A Mourning!
I Pray For Help For Those Who Have Lost
Their Way And Are In Need Of Your Sure Salvation!
Oh, Father, 
Have Mercy For You Are Our Only Hope!

Please Accept My Prayer
My Heart's Plea, Father
For I Humbly Ask For These Few Blessings
In The Holy Name Of The Beloved Christ Jesus
The Soon-Returning King
The Redeemer
The Savior Of Man!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.
