HAPPY SABBATH + On The Horns Of A Dilemma!

The Chant Is Often Heard: 

"No Justice: No Peace!" 

And 

People Are Suitably Impressed Or Terrified About What Is Next! 

There Is No Justice Without Truth! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth 

And 

He Is Also The Prince Of Peace Who Is Our Peace! 

Without Jesus

We Will Never Know Almighty God's Grace 

Aka Favor Aka Power 

Or Experience His Mercy 

Because 

We Would Be Subject To God's Strict Justice 

Which Will Be Ministered Then 

Without His Now Presently Available Free-To-All Mercy! 

This, Dear Ones

Is 

What One Would Call Being On The Horns Of A Dilemma! 

Sin-Loving Man Wants 

What Only Almighty God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord Can Give 

Without Jesus Christ Being Involved! 

That's A Big-Able Problem! 

Not To Put Too Fine An Edge On The Razor

We Always Want People's Things Without Asking 

Or Paying For The Privilege Of Ownership! 

Man-Peace Is No Peace 

And 

Man's Idea Of Justice 

Is 

Most Often Perverted To Benefit The Highest Bidder! 

This Is Not So With The Eternal God

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Beloved, 

Let Us This Day Walk Humbly Before Our God

Honoring And Pleasing Him In His Holiness

So That In Our Hour Of Trial 

It Is Jesus Christ, Himself

Who Will Plead His Shed Blood For Us

At His Judgment Bar! 

Perfect Peace Is Precious 

And 

Part Of The Salvation Plan! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Prayer For Ukraine

 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

We Thank You For The Gift Of 

Unfailing, Unshrinking, Faith That 

Removes The Spectre Of Doubt That 

Fogs Our Minds And Clouds Our Judgment 

In The Face Of War And The Clutches Of Cruel Death! 

In These Uncertain Times, Lord

In This Hour Of Trial

We Come With Hope, Believing The Word Of Truth

And Plead For Your Hand Of Healing 

Which Turns Bitterness Into Sweetness

Darkness Into Light

Ashes Into Beauty

And

The Certain Hope Into Glory! 

Lord, 

King Solomon Said That He Was A Child 

Not Knowing How To Go Out Or To Come In: 

We Join In This Sentiment 

And

Humbly Ask You To Take Control! 

Please Lead Us, Feed Us

Guard, Guide And Protect Us, Dear Lord

As We Faithfully, Enduringly

Follow After You Who Knows The Perfect Way 

And

Our End From Our Beginning! 

We Trust You, Lord

Because We Believe Your Word That Says 

All Things Work For Our Good! 

We Know That There Isn't Anything That

Happens To Us 

Which Will Surprise You

And

For This Reason, Father

We Ask That You Will Comfort Us

In All Our Present Distresses

And

Help Us To Rest, Strengthened, And Unafraid In You 

Even Though We're Perplexed And Tempest-Tossed! 

Please Speak Peace! 

Please Help Us To Remember That

Your Strength Is Made Perfect

In Our Weakness

And

Help Us To Let Go

And

Let You Take The Wheel!

Lord, Pity Us!

Please Help Us To Trust You And Believe

Hold Hope 

And

Heed The Counsels Against Doubt! 

Please Help Us To Not Be Double-Minded Because 

You Have Said That You Have Nothing 

To Give Anyone So Unstable, Like The Sea

Driven, And Tossed About! 

Thank You For The Shelter That Is 

The Arms Of The Eternal God! 

Please Help Us To Glory In The Cross Of Christ 

Which Bought Us New Life! 

We Confess And Repent Of Our Sins 

And Plead For The Promised Cleansing And Pardon 

As We Desire To Live With You In Paradise! 

Please Deliver Us, Lord, By Your Saving Grace! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 

We Pray And, In Need, Humbly Plead! 

AMEN.
