Everybody Has Unrealistic Expectations For Marriage Family, Work And Friends
But I Can Safely Say - Without Fear Of Contradiction - That My Expectations Concerning Christ Jesus Will Never Comport
With His Myriad Blessings Vouchsafe To Me
And Neither Will His Blessings - Ever - My Hopeful Soul Offend!
Wha' Loss! Hear De Big Christ'an Talk! Their Ain't Nobody Like She And She Jesus!
You Know Every Since She Got Into That "Relationship" You Would Think She Is Going To Get A Gold Crown!
Of THAT You Can Be Sure Because MY Relationship With MY Jesus Is Personal And He Promised Me A New Name A Personal Mansion In Glory A Gold Harp A Victor's Palm And, Yes A Real-Real Gold Crown!
How Special ...!
... And She Believes Him!
Hold It, Sarah! You And Cora Had Better Stop Teasing Maylene! She Is Very Serious About Her Lord AND
You Two Had Better Wake Up!
There's A Time And Place For Jesting And This Is Not It!
Awww, Auntie Jen! We Didn't Mean Anything By It!
We Were Just Funning Cause She's Such An Easy Target!
Now, Really! That Is Just Being Unkind!
Children! Gather Around!
Yes, Ma'am!
See What You Did?! You're Always Getting Us In Trouble!
Settle Down! Nobody Is In Trouble ... Yet BUT
I Want To Tell You A Story AND
Then You Will Tell Me The Moral:
There Was Once A Boy Named Samuel Who Loved The Lord! He Was Young But Genuine In His Love And He Walked With God In Accord!
Samuel Lived At God's Sanctuary In A Town Called Shiloh With The High Priest Called Eli And His Two Very Wicked Worthless Sons Aka Sons Of Belial Sons Of The Devil Who Had Absolutely No Respect For The Ways Of Truth And Goodness Nor The Holy Things Of The Eternal God!
Almighty God Was Not Pleased AND
One Night - This Was At a Time When A Word From God
To The Nation Was A Thing Rare -
The Lord Did Something Wonderful AND
Spoke To Samuel In His Very Ear!
The Voice Was So Near That Samuel Thought It Was Old Eli Calling Him!
I Wish Almighty God Would Talk To Me Like That!
He Can AND He Does BUT You Must Have A Heart For The Things Of God And Be Kind And Obedient And Truthful And Faithful AND Of A Willing Spirit!
Do You Remember When We Talked About Being AND Becoming Like The Lord Jesus?!
Yes, Ma'am!
Was Jesus Ever Unkind Or Malicious Speaking Spiteful Words To The People Even Those Who Were Not Kind To Him Or Who Were Not Even His Friends?!
Oh, No! Never!
Jesus Had A Meek ...!
... Kind ...!
... Gentle And Loving Spirit!
Well, Samuel Was Just Like That BUT High Priest Eli's Sons - Hophni And Phineas - Treated The Things Of God The People Of God The Gifts Designated For God As Unholy Things As Things Common As Things To Be Abused As Things Dirty!
Oh, Dear!
But We Were Just Playing!
We Weren't Even Serious!
Children, Those Very Words May Be Applied To How Eli Raised Up His Sons!
Eli, The High Priest Of God
Wasn't Serious About His Leadership! Eli Wasn't Firm In Disciplining His Sons AND His Children To The Things Of The Earth AND From Him From The Holy God Ran Away!
They Wanted That Thing Called Fun!
Understand This:
People Don't Become Mean-Spirited And Unkind And Profligate And Wicked
Overnight!
People Learn What They Live AND Practicing A Bad Habit AND It Not Being Corrected Chastised Or Set Aside Permits It To Become A Practical Way To Live Life!
It Is Then That What You Should Rule, Rules You!
What You Plant
Is
What You Harvest!
What You Harvest
You
Shall Eat
And
May Almighty God Help You
If Your Eating
Is Not Sweet
Or
Something That You Consider
Fit
For You To Eat
T
What You Call A Treat!
Ma'am? What Happened To Hophni And Phineas?!
I Want To Know What Happened To Samuel!
What Happened To Hophni And Phineas Was Sad BUT
Just AND It Was A Hard Lesson Learned For Their Father Who Died The Very Same Day That They Did! They Died In Battle!
Hophni And Phineas's Untoward Behavior Prevented Many A Faithful Soul From Worshipping
Before The Living God In The Place Appointed!
As For Samuel The Ever-Present
All-Knowing
All-Seeing God
Revealed To Him That He Was Bringing An End To Eli And His Family Because Eli Had Elevated His Sons Above The Holy God!
As For Samuel
He Became A Prophet Called Of God! He Was Also A Priest! AND He Was Also A Judge!
Samuel Was Faithful Honest
AND Upright In The Holy God's Sight AND He Was That Way Until He Died At A Ripe Old Age!
Eli's Family Indeed Ended! His Daughter-In-Law Died
Just After She Gave Birth To A Son! Before She Died
She Called Him Ichabod
Because The Glory Had Departed!
Hophni And Phinea's Behavior
Had Resulted In The Ark Of God Being Stolen
By The Philistines!
Okay, Children! What Can We Learn From This Story:
Evil Habits Grow! Good Habits Grow! All Habits Are Present Before The Lord Just As Before Mortal Men They Show!
God Does Not Like Ugly!
Being Unrepentant Of Evil Always Gets One Punished!
Doing Good Always Gets Rewarded!
The Living God Does Not Play Favorites!
The Things Of God Are Sacred!
Faith Matters!
Okay. Very Good! Now ... Is There SOMETHING You Two NEED To Say To A Certain Somebody?!
Yes, Ma'am!
Maylene, We're Sorry! What We Said And Did Was Neither Nice Nor Kind!
Please Forgive Us!
We Promise That We Won't Treat You Like That Again ...!
... Tell Us Again About Your Relationship With Jesus!
I Want A Personal Mansion!
Heyyyy! Do You Think Jesus Will Put Your Mansion Next To Mine?!
