VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open Our Eyes, Lord!

 

The Lord Jesus Christ Is Trying To Help Us 

To Abundantly Live In Him Now

And 

Then Eternally With Him! 

We Must Choose To Cooperate With Him 

Through The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, 

All That He Is Asking Of Us 

Is 

That We Accept The Draught From Heaven's Bottle Of 

Easily Digestible Loving Kindness, Blessing, And Grace! 

Truth Being Always Told

We Are Choosing, Instead, To Self-Cure

Self-Comfort And Self-Control 

By Ill-Advisedly Imbibing From The Rancid Cask Of 

Do-Me Willful Human Blindness 

Which Carries No Spiritual Nourishment 

But 

Is Filled To Overflowing With The Empty Calories Of Lawlessness ... Of Sin

Which Makes Us Fat And Easy To Overcome 

By Our Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools

Aka No One Who Says That There Is No God

In The Lord's Living Kingdom Of Light! 

Since We Actively Say To All That We Believe That 

The Lord Can Do A Great Thing For Us Here And Now

Should We Not, Here And Now, Show Our Faith And Trust 

By Willingly Doing What The Lord Is Asking Us To Do 

To Truly Help Ourselves!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The One-Mile Walk To Surpassing Glory 

Starts With Our First Step Toward Jesus Christ, Our Only Savior! 

Salvation Is Free 

But

All Potential Recipients 

Must Willingly Accept The Package 

And

Eagerly Open It 

And

Wisely Use The Gift: 

This Is Self-Service Only! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Remember 

And

Never Forget That Man-Wrought Salvation 

Is 

The Devil's Only Delight 

Because 

It Leads To Man's Sure Damnation! 

Please Let Jesus Christ Aka The Great Physician

The Prince Of Peace

Fix And Heal You By His Saving Grace! 

Pray Fervently ... And Touch Your King 

Who Was Touched To Save You! 

Peace! 

Folly Ain't Fun: Think On Jesus Christ Who Ever Thinks Of You!

Dead In Sin And Trespasses! 

Too Proud To Change!?! 

What A State Of Affairs! 

You Can't Help Yourself 

But 

You Are Making Sure To Keep The One Who Can Out Of Fix-Me Range! 

Did You Know That A Dove Is Called Silly 

Because 

It Sometimes Flies Without A Cause!?! 

Did You Know That Sinners Don't Know Where They Are Going 

But 

Proudly State That They Are Going There In Style!?! 

Consider That You, And Me Too, Were Once In Hard Bondage In Egypt 

Where Denying Knowledge Of The Holy God 

And 

The Practice Of Idol-Worship Were Considered Big Doings 

And 

The Lord God Almighty Brought You Out By The Power Of His Might 

And 

Called You His People 

And

When You Were Established, Strong And Fat And Happy

You Adopted The Vile Habits Of Your Neighbors 

Which Habits The Lord Condemned! 

When Certain Of Your Wicked And Idolatrous Neighbors 

Sought To Make War With You

Would You Ignore Your Own Known-Holy Loving Faithful God 

And 

Seek "Help" From Your Former Slave-Master, Egypt

Instead Of Swallowing Your Pride

Admitting Your Error

And 

Acknowledging Your Shame

Stop Your Useless Silly-Dove Flights Of Fancy Or Fantasy Flights 

And

With A Broken, Contrite Heart

Humble Yourself And Pray

Confessing And Repenting Of Your Known And Bold Sin!?! 

Beloved, 

Folly Ain't Fun! 

What Tastes Good In The Mouth 

And 

Pleasurably Slides Down The Throat 

Can Be Silk In And Brambles Out

Oil In And Jagged Rocks Out! 

How About Choosing To Give Your Sin And Your Satan To The Savior 

So That Your Only Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord 

May Secure You With His Salvation!?! 

Let Us Choose To Lose Our Useless Pride 

And 

In The Lord Of Life Confide And Abide! 

Peace!
