VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Psalm 1 - KJV - REAL!





I Know From Where I Have Come!
(That's My Documented History) AND
I Have Been About The Living God Taught!
(That's True Doctrine)! I Make Unto Him Humble Supplication!
(That's My Fervent Praying) ANDI Laud His Holy Name
As, Indeed, I Ought!
(That's My Joyful Praise)!

By Way Of Heartfelt Confession
I Give The Gift Of My Sins
To The Eternal Holy God
Who Is My Savior
My Lord, Sovereign!

By Prayerful Petition
I Present My Cares, Sorrows, Griefs And Woes
To The Living God
Who Once Trod This Earth
AND
Who Has Left Us The Good Way
To - In Faith - Mightily Grow!

By Way Of Thanksgiving
For Answered Prayer
AND
Often Just To Share
I Sing In Praise
"The Joyful Hallelujah!"To Him Who Is God Of All
AND
My Beloved King!

AND

Because
In Him
I Know That I Am Saved
Safe
Hedged In
AND
Secure
I Know The Value Of Psalm 1 To My Heart
- My Christian Walk -
For
It Describes The Two Classes Of Humans
Who Will Be Here
At The Time Of The End Of The Earth!
It's Almost Time To Depart!

Juxtaposed ...

I Desire To Be The Man Blessed
That Is ... Happy
AND
Not That Other Who Is Cursed
Who Walks In The Way
- Who Lives The Life Of -
The Ungodly
Who Stands Companiably With Sinners
AND
Sits Comfortably With Scorners
Denying The Creator Of Us All
AND
The Universe!

Apostle Peter ... Wallowing
In The Ungodly Fear Of The Unconverted Heart
Did All This
Denying His Master And Lord
AND
At The Expected Cock's Crowing
- Convicted Of Known Sin -
Wept ... Bitterly!

What Of Me And Thee?!

I Desire To Be Planted In King Jesus
That Known Giver Of Life
Who Is The Free Flowing
River Of Water Of Life!

The Flowing River Of Water Of Life
Gives Life Unto Needy
Thirsting
Me!

The Lord 
Is 
My Known And Heard Shepherd
AND
For His Righteousness
I, Parched
- By Walking Through The Desert Of Sin -
Thirst!

I Desire The Leaves Of My Tree
To Be Ever-Green
Never Stunted
Never Burnt
AND
I Desire Ever Always
To Bear Fruit For My Savior
Readily To Be Seen When He Sees Me
Lush-Leaved
Growing
Planted In My Well-Watered Earth!

I Desire For My Lord
- From The Work Of My Hand -
To Have A Harvest For His Garner
Ready
Whether 30, 60, Or 100-Fold!
I Shall For My Master
Work ... Steady!

I Shall Cultivate My Plot Of Sod!
I Shall Manure It With The Living Word
The Law
The Prophets
Psalms Hymns Spiritual Songs
The Gospels
AND
I Shall Hold On To The Promise Of The Revelation
Though Others May Insult My Humble Faith
AND
Scoffing, Say:

"God" Is An Imaginary Friend
For Grown-Ups!"

BUT, IUnperturbed
Shall Say:


I Am A Child Of The Living God 
And
He Is Real
- Conquering King Real - 
And
I Know That He Is The God Able
And
To Bless Me Abundantly
He Shall Never, Ever, Fail!



Psalm 1 - KJV - 
Is 
Here For Me
AND
To Tell The Salvation Story
To Man Big Or Small
AND
For Believers One And All
Who Choose To Trust The Living Word
AND
Do The Will
AND
To Help Me Not To Known Popular Fables
Captivated ... Fall!

As For Those Who Choose
To Walk In OWN Way
To Do The Deceitful Will Of That Other
Who Chose Wilfully
To Walk In His Own Way
I Must Inform You
That Sin Cannot Profit
Because It Costs
BUT
Does Not Ever Pay
No Matter What Satan May Say
To Prettily Entice You
With His Dark Arts To Play!

From His Devilish Sophistries,
In The Name Of Christ The Righteous
I Beseech You ... Please
With Alacrity
Deliberately
Forcefully
Turn! Turn!
RUN AWAY!


DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT:

Earth AND Heart
Are Made Of The Same Letters
And
Out Of Earth And Heart
Are Found
Tear, Tare, Hear, Hate, Heat!?!

**--**--**--**--**

Let's Take Heed To Ourselves:

Hear ... The Loving, Living, Word Of The Lord!
Shed A ... Tear ... Of Contrition
And
Refuse To Be A ... Tare!
Hate ... Sin
And
Depart Unrighteousness
And
We Will Never Feel
Damnation's ... Heat!

**--**--**--**--**

The Earth Is The Lord's!
Earth Is God's Footstool!


Jesus Christ
IS
Knocking At Our Carnal Heart:
Let's Let Him In!


Jesus Christ Will Give Willing Man
A New Heart!
Let's Ask For It!

**--**--**--**--**


My Heart
Your Heart
My Portion Of Earth
Your Portion Of Earth
BELONGS
To The Eternal God!


Think About It ... And Pray:

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord
Is Ending!
The Darkness Is Falling
And
Men's Hearts Are Grown Cold
But
You, Our Savior, Redeemer
Creator, Sustainer
Are Ever The Same
Loving, Giving, Blessing
Faithful, True, Holy
Eternal God!
May Your Grace, Lord
Be Ever Sufficient
For Us Believers
In Times Like These!
Keep Our Hearts
In Your Faith
Ever Whole!
In Jesus Christ's Name
We Humbly Pray
And
Willingly Plead!
AMEN.

The Contrite Heart



The Contrite Heart

If only ...


I should have ...


I could have ...


Maybe if ...


Perhaps I ...


So Sorry for Self-inflicted Sorrow.


Useless!


Unchanging!


Unchangeable!                  It's ... Too late!


I CAN'T CHANGE IT!! 


But I Can … REPENT!




Joel 2: 13 – And rend your heart, and not your garments, and


turn unto the Lord your God: for He [is] gracious and


merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth


Him of the evil.






I Am FORGIVEN!




2 Timothy 2:15 – Study to show thyself approved unto God, a


workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the


word of truth.
