Behold Your God!

Behold Your God, Brethren!
He Is Gracious And Merciful!
His Coming To Earth Again!
He Is Bringing His Rewards With Him
And
Lest You Forget
His Work Is Before Him:
His Strange Work!

Exactly What Do You Mean By
"His Strange Work!?!"

Who Is Our God!?!

He Is The Life-Giver!

What Is Our God!?!

He's The Jealous God!

What's He Jealous For Or About!?!

He's Jealous For His Name
His Glory Aka His Character
His Worship
His Praise
And
He Will Not Share What Is His With Another!

I Don't See Anything Strange About That!
Where's The Strange Part!?!

He's Coming To Clean House!
He's Going To Fix 

- Glorify, Immortalize And Make Incorruptible -

And
Retrieve
The Wittingly, Willingly, Wisely
Fallen-On-The-Rock And Broken Faithful
And
He Is Going To Destroy
The Proud, Presumptuous
And
Willingly Sinful Ungodly!

He Is Life

And
It Is Not His Will That Anyone Should Be
To The Eternal Kingdom, Lost!

The Work Of Destruction
Is
The Strange Work!

Forget That!
Tell Me Why Would Anyone Choose To Be Lost!?!

Ah, My Young Friend!
You Have Glommed On 

To The Crux Of The Matter: CHOICE!

Everything That Pertains To Soul Salvation
Is

A Choice!
Everything That Pertains To Soul Damnation
Is 

A Choice!

So What About If I Don't Decide To Make A Choice!?!

That's Not Going To Work In Your Favor!

Huh!?! How So!?!

No Choice Is A Choice
Because
If You Do Not Choose Life
- Stating Clearly Your Position For Life -
You Have Made Your Position Clear That
You Do Not Value:

• The Life You Have
• The Life Promised To Believers
• The Life-Giver
• The Promise Purchased With Innocent Blood

What You're Actually Saying Is That
The Lover Of Your Soul
Your Creator, Savior
Your Redeemer, Friend
Does Not Have ... The Power
And
You're Going To "Trust" Your Future
To Whatever Is ... Out There!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Let Me Correct Myself!
We Already Know What Is Out There:

• Eternal Life Or Eternal Death
• Jesus Christ Or Satan
• Blessing Or Cursing
• Truth Or Error
• Light Or Darkness
• Confess And Repent Or Hide And Presume
• The Narrow Way Or The Broad Way
• Trust And Obey Or Distrust And Disobey
• Believe And Live Or Disbelieve And Die
• Hope And Glory Or Doubt And Destruction

Those Are Some Serious Options!

As You Can Clearly See
Everything In This Life
Is
Either-Or!
It Is Never
- Nor Will It Ever Be -

Either, Or, Or Or! 

There Are Only Two Positions! 

You're Either With The Lord And Against Satan
Or
You're With Satan And Against God!

If You Don't Say You Position
You've Made Your Decision!

So That's Why The Bible Says That
We Must Confess That Christ Is Lord!

You Only Confess What You Believe To Be Truth Or True!

If You Can't Or Won't Say It
It's Because You Don't Believe It
And
The Lord Has Nothing For Doubters!

Wow!
There Is No Neutrality In The Kingdom Of God!

You've Got It In One!

You Know ... I Like That!
I Really Like That!
It Tells Me Plainly That
We Can Depend On Our Almighty God!

Indeed!

Strong Position, Unshakeable, Firm
Same Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
He Is The Rock, Never A Worm!

So, Brethren,
How Will You Stand!?!
How Do You Stand!?! 

Will You Look Up To The Lord Christ And Live
Or
Will You Roll With The Changeable Tide
And
On The Broken Barge Delay And Decay
Take The Journey To Destruction
Because
For Your Own Soul's Salvation
You Did Not Care Enough To Choose
Christ's Glory To Share!?!

If You Believe The Word Of God Is True
Preserve Your Integrity
And
Send Your Word To Your God, Holy
As You Stand Up To Be Counted For Jesus Christ The Lord!

There Will Be Precious, Everlasting, Rewards

For The Faithful, Enduring-All Child Of 

The Holy God!

Ye Are Not Your Own!?!

My Life Is Mine To Do Whatever I Please!

Kinda Bold, Aren't You ... For A Thief!?!

Excuse Me!?!

No Excuse Necessary!
You're Nothing But A Thief!

Them's Fighting Words, Mister!
You'd Better Back Up Your Mouth
Or Shut Up!

No Need To Put Up Your Dukes, Young Fella!
He's Speaking The Living God's Truth!

Enough Already!
My Life IS Mine And I DO What I Want!

It Looks Like We've Got Ourselves A Hard Case Here!

Let Me Ask You A Question:
You Ever Created Anything!?!

Sure, I Have! I Do!
I Create Computer Apps!

That's Lovely!
Whose Brain Did You Use!?!

I Used My Own Brain!

Did You Create That Brain!?!

Of Course, Not!

You're A Thief!

Whose Eyes Did You Use!?!

I Used My Own Eyes, Of Course!

Did You Create Those Eyes!?!

Of Course Not!
Humans Can't Create Eyes!

You're A Thief!

You're Really Starting To Bug Me!

That's My Hope!

Really!?!

Whose Hands, Ears
Mind, Heart Did You Use!?!

Let's See ... Mine, Mine, Mine
Mine And Mine!
I Used, I Use, All That Is Mine!

Did You Create You!?!

Of Course Not!

Then, As I Said Before, You're A Thief!

What Do You Keep Saying That!?!

What Do You Mean By Making That Statement!?!

Whoever Has The Right Of Creating You
Owns You!

Who Created You!?!

My Parents!?!

I Glean By That Question That 

You Are Experiencing, Dare I Say, Doubt!?!

You'd Better Believe It!

Very Good! 

We're Making Progress!

And The LORD Said:
Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image
After Our Own Likeness ...!

What Does That Make God!?! 

That's Easy! Almighty God Is Man's Creator!

I Like That You Recognize That God Is Almighty!

And God Said To Man
Be Fruitful And Multiply!

What Does That Make God!?! 

Our Programmer!?!

I'll Take That Answer!
There Is No Human
No Human Pretending To Be God
No Demonic Spirit
Or That Satan Who Wants To Be God
That Has The Rights To Anything
That Almighty God Through Jesus Christ
The Lord Created Or Called Into Being ...!

... Just Remember That When The Powers That Be

Tell You That You Have No Exclusive Right

To Your Body Which Is The Lord's!

The Earth Is The Lord's
And 

The Fullness Thereof
Aka Whatever Is On It Or Under It
The Sea And They That Dwell Therein

For He Spake ... And It Was Done
He Commanded ... And It Stood Fast!

Can You
Do You
Do Any Of That!?!

Of Course Not!
I'm Not The Creator God!

Very Nice! 

Do You Still Say That Your Life Is Your Own!?!

No, I Don't
But I Will Say That The Lord God Gifted Me My Life!

So, What Do You Intend To Do With Your Gift!?!

How Many Choices Do I Have!?!

Let's Just Say ... Two ...!!

... Which Are!?!

Nothing Too Difficult:

Satisfy Self
Or
Glorify God!

Can't I Glorify God By Satisfying Self!?!

NO!!

Oh, Man!! 

Don't I Get Anything For Myself!?!

Sure, You Do!
Give God Glory By Setting Aside Self
And
Get God's Gifts Of Grace And Faith
His Blessings Of Peace And Rest
Truth And Righteousness
Forgiveness And Salvation
Hope And Glory!!

You Said Glory!
Do I Really Get Glory!?!

You Surely Do!

You Must Willingly Give God Your Life
Which Is His To Begin With
And
You Get The New Beginning
- Eternal Life -
Which Is ALMIGHTY God's Gift To Give
To The Enduring Faithful At This World's Sure End!

The New Beginning!
I Can Really Relate To New Beginnings!
I Know A Lot About Starting All Over Again!

Then You Should Have No Problem
Starting ...!

... A New Life With Jesus Christ!

I Get It!
My Life Is Not My Own!
He Could Take It
But He Desires Me To Give
Aka Gift It Back To Him!

Wow!
This Is Amazing!
I Can Give God An Unique Gift
That Not One Other Creature Can Give To Him!

I Can Give Almighty God, Myself!
I'm Special!
I Can Bless God!
I Shall Bless God ...!

... Before You Go Totally Overboard
With Your Wonderful Gift To God
Let's Talk A Little Bit About ... Pride!

It's Like This ...

If You Have A Gift To Give To Almighty God
But 

You Become So Enamored
So Proud Of The Contents

And

The Uniquely Beautiful Wrapping
That You Proudly Believe 

That You Have Lovingly Prepared
And
You Do Not Humble Yourself

By Setting Aside Self Before Your Maker

And

Deliver The Gift To That Holy Recipient

It Is A Present To ... Your Proud Self!

...!!!

 The Proud One Is Never Humble!

The Humble One Faithful Is Never Proud!

Grace And Mercy Bless The Humble Faithful

And

The Cries Of The Damned Proud Will Be Loud!

Glory For Me!?!

The Always-Present God 

Is 

His People's Refuge
To Whom They May Fly!
He Is The Great Truth, Also
Upon Whom They May Completely Rely!

The All-Knowing God Is Not A Man

Who Tells Lies For Conversation!
The All-Knowing God 

Is 

The Sovereign Lord
To Whom Man May Unafraid Run
For The Soul's Sweet, Free, Salvation!

The Living God Directs The Path Of The Faithful
So That His Feet Slip Not!
The Living God Makes Truth Shed Light
So That Man May Forego Known Sin's Blight

And

Not Suffer Sin's Known Blot!

The Eternal God's Home Is In Heaven Above
As Told In The Gospel Story
And 

Be Your Head Young
Or Old And Hoary
What  Awaits The Faithful 

Is 

Jesus Christ's Surpassing Glory!

 
Share The Wealth!
Tell Others The Good News Story!

Trust The All-Seeing God And Grow

And
Live Right And Know That
Jesus Christ The King Saves

And
He Frees The Sin-Slave
And 

Blesses The Sinner Saved
To Live Right And Clean
So That He Will Ascend To Heaven
To Forever Enjoy
The Forever Holy 

Blessed And Bright

Eternally Glorious
Glory Days!

Faithfulness To Jesus Christ

May Temporally Cost

And

Faithfulness To Jesus Christ

 Will Eternally Pay!

The Sign Post

At The Crossroads Of Hope And Glory
AND
Independence And Pride
AND
Doubt And Defiance
AND
Not Yet And Maybe Later
IS
The Sign Post
Plain To The Seeing Eye:

What Is The Point?

Is It Worth It?

Can You Pay The Price?

Was It Worth The Cost?

How Strange!

Very True!

Very True, It's Strange
Or
It's Strangely Very True!?!

Pick Your Own Poison!

Poison Kills!

So Does Ignorance
Recklessness
Willfulness
Waywardness
Wantonness
Idleness
Fullness Of Bread
Pride
Life Without The Peace Guide

AND
Letting Satan Take You For A Ride!

Whatever Must One Do?!

In Heavenly Love Abide!

Let The Spirit Of God In Your Heart Reside! 

Let The Holy Angels Influence You
So That Vain Self 

AND

Purchased Salvation
Do Not Collide

AND
Get Out Of The Dying World
So That Known Sin
Cannot Take You For The Condemned Man's Last Ride!

Bottom Line ...

In Jesus Christ

Our Savior

Lord, God

Forever Friend

Emphatically

Unreservedly

Unrepentantly

Faithfully

Contentedly

Confide!

I Call Him Master, Lord And God! + PRAYER: Lord, Let Your Glory Shine!

Through All The Changing Scenes Of My Life
There Has Been One Constant
AND

- Against The Truth -

I Cannot Tell The Lie!

Through Cock-Ups

Carelessness
Wilfullness 

Outright Sinfulness
Sorrow Grief
Joy Gladness
Peace War
Sickness And Health
Want And Abundance
Jesus Christ The Righteous
- My Savior, My Lord And My God -
Has Ever Always
Been There!

Jesus Christ Cares!

I Know Jesus Christ Cares
Because 

He Cares For Me!

I Took Jesus' Love
For Granted
AND

Such A Thing Should Never Be!

The Faithful God
So Constant
So Giving
So Blessing
So True
Is The One I Call Master
AND
You Should Call Him That Too!!

He Sees!
He Hears!
He Knows My Fears!
I Know I Can Trust Him
AND
That Is The Thing One Thing About Me That
Satan. Most. Fears!

I Was Young

AND
Now I Am Old
AND
With Sin
I No Longer Play Bold!

My Head Was Hot!
My Heart Was Cold
AND
I Thought Nothing Of
Running With The Goat Herd!

I Did Things My Way

AND
I Almost Paid The Cost Of Living Price
BUT
Almighty God Is Faithful
AND
I Have The Promised New Life In Christ!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Today ... To Me ... Is Free
So
I Thread Through Life Softly
AND
Repair Often To The Man Who Conquered Death
On A Cruel Tree On Mount Calvary!

I ... By My Own Sin

Put Jesus Christ There!
Of The Price Of Sin, I Have A Fair Share
BUT
I Am Committed
To Not Letting His Suffering
- In My Case -
Leave In The Glorious Kingdom
An "Empty Chair!"

Salvation Came Down
AND
Bought Pardon For Me
AND IConvinced Convicted Converted
Accept
The Royal Heavenly Blessing 

Graciously

Mercifully

Conferred Upon Me!

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Keep Me Faithful

Honest Bold Strong True

So That I May Tell The Good News

To My Brethren

All About You!

Place Truth In My Inward Parts!

From My Face

Let Your Glory Shine! 

You Are My Lord Beloved

At Your Table

By Your Grace

With You

I Desire ... Forever

To Dine! 

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + The Little Bird Sings! + PRAYER: Lord, Help Me Sing!

I Was Saying My Prayers This Morning
When I Became Conscious Of An Intruding Song!
I Said To The Lord
With A Smile On My Face:

It Would Be Nice
To Know What That Little Birdie Is Saying!

In An Instant
In My Mind
I Caught On To The Refrain:

God  ... Is  ... Good!

God  ... Is  ... Good!

God  ... Is  ... Good!

My Smile Grew Broader!

What A Refrain
From A Little Creature
- With Feathers -
Who Heralds The Dawning

AND
Who Pays Homage To Our Creator
No Matter The Season
The Reason
The Storm!

That Creature Small
But

Filled With Gratitude
Cares Not
Who Hears Him Sing
For
He Volubly Tells All And Sundry
About His Lord And King
Who Provides For His Welfare
Every Single Thing!

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord

Most Holy

Please Place A Gratitude Song

Deep In My Heart

So That I May Gladly Sing

And

Tell Of Him

Who Puts New Songs

In New-Made Redeemed Hearts

Who To Him Cling!

Please Let My Song Sing

Of Gladness

Blessedness

Thankfulness

And Joy

Salvation

Redemption

Forgiveness

And Rest

Love

Peace

And Hope

And

Trust

In My Holy God!

Let Peace Reign!

Let Trust Soar!

Let Thankfulness Be Triumphant

Inside Or Outside

Open Or Shut Doors!

Let Hope Sing The High Note For Joy!

Let Gladness Hum Hum Hum

A Thrilling Cadence Without Alloy!

Let Salvation

And

Forgiveness

Work And Rest Peacefully In Me

And

Let My Heart Leap

In The Dance That Walks

- Without Growing Weary -

Steadfastly

Unto Coming Glory!

Lord,

Let Me Sing

As The Little Bird Sings

The Only Difference Being

That I Sing In Praise

Of The Lord Of Life

Who Sacrificed

And Died

To Forever Save Me!

I Will Sing!

Lord, Help Me Sing

For

I Love

Honor

Worship

And Praise

The Living God

My Lord

And

My King!

AMEN.

THE LIVING GOD: Fact - Not Fable!

I Thank You, Lord
For Favor!
I Thank You, Lord
For Faith!
I Thank You, Lord
For The Grace 

AND

The Coming Glory
The Hope For Which

Having Mere Men's Things
Cannot Erase!

Brethren,
When Your God
Has The Answer
To Your Problem
Long Before Your Problem
Is Before Your Eyes
Then It Is

That You Knowingly Recognise
That Your God Is Big
Big Enough
Big ... AND Then Some
Sufficient To The Cause
AND
Infinitely Able
AND
- Blessedly -
No Fable!

Such Is The Mighty God
That Many Of Us Nonchalantly Serve
Often Passing Him By

On The Street Curb
Willing Only To Give Him His Props
When
- By Life -
We Have Been Duly Ill-Served!

Lord Knows  ... I Have Been Guilty
BUT
It Is The Desire Of My Heart
From Henceforth
To Be Counted Amongst The Innocents
Who Believe
AND
Know 

- By The Experience That Shows
As Faith Works And Love Grows -
That  Our God
Is No Theory
But The True Power
That Holds Out His Hand
Ready, Willing 

AND

Supremely Able
To Grab Ahold Of The Hand
That Belongs To The Soul
Singing The Forever Psalm  ...

He's Able!

He's A Wonder!

He's A Mystery!

And

He Knows My Name

And

I Can Approach Him

In The Name

Of Him Who Died

To Absolve Me

Of Eternal Shame!

That, My Friends ...

Is No Vain ClaimAND

That 

Is Why
- In Triumph -
I Shall Proclaim:

Give Me My Lord Jesus

On Whom

I Am Learning To Lean

And To Whom I Cleave

As Playing With Sin

I - Disgusted - Leave!

Our Almighty God

Is Worthy  ... To Be Praised
TodayAND
All Of Our Days
For
The Promise Is To Those Who BelieveAND
Who Will Be Rejoicing
Bringing In Their Sheaves!

I Love You, Lord

Tune Up My Heart

And

Help Me

To Ever Sing Unto You

Most Glorious Praise!

**=-**-=**=-**-=**

Take A Moment ...!

Stand Up And See ...!

The Living God Is Real ...!

God Is Always Looking ...!

God Is Always Looking Out For Me ...!

God Is Always Looking Out For Thee ...!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Great Occurrence!

There was The Great Occurrence

Which came from Heaven above

Which tells The  Beautiful Story

Of Sacrificial Love

How Jesus left His Home in Paradise

And came to Earth for to Die

To save the Race of Mankind

Wicked

Unworthy

Sin Defiled!

He thought not of The Great Sacrifice

He thought not of The Grave Pain

He thought only of His Beloved Children and

How He must them Reclaim!

With Great Love and Unending Compassion

He laid on That Cruel Cross

For without His Great Personal Sacrifice

His Children would be forever to Him Eternally Lost!

Now this is The Redemption Story

Hear you well This Song

How Jesus my Savior

His Gold Crown Laid Down

To give me a Way Back

To be Reconciled unto The Holy God

Instead of being Forever Destroyed

Anathema to God!

Jesus Died

Yet He Lives and,

Of this, I'm Certain:

He is Coming Again One Glad Day and

Because I am a True Believer

I am packing my Blessed Faith and

I am Waiting

Ready

Prepared 
For

With Him I shall Fly
Fly

Fly Away!

Glory is Awaiting Me

Glory, No More Cross to Bear

The Glory of Jesus I shall Share

Bless His Holy Name!
