Cry Aloud ... And Say "NO!" To Sin And Folly!

Problems!?! 

Use Common-Sense! 

Weigh The Pros And Cons! 

Exercise Caution! 

Repair To Prayer! 

Lift Up The Lord! 

Beloved, 

According To The Vaunted Murphy's Law

Anything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong! 

According To The Word Of Truth

We Are Not To Lean Aka Rely On Our Own Understanding 

But 

We Are To Boldly Go To The Throne Of Grace 

Where People Of Faith And Prayer 

Are Encouraged To Appear To Receive Help 

Be It For Healing

Protection, Provision

Comfort And Care

Direction, Correction

And

Encouragement! 

Dear Ones, 

The First Act Of Will That A Little Child Exercises 

And 

Utilizes With Understanding 

Is 

Saying "No!"  

And 

There Is Much That We May Learn From This Act! 

The World And His Brother 

Seem To Always Encourage Us 

To Do The Worst Possible Things 

And 

Act In The Most Foolish Ways! 

Think Of Job's Wife Encouraging Him 

To Cast Away His Publicly-Known Integrity 

And 

"Curse God And Die!" 

Knowing To Say "No!" 

And 

Boldly Saying "No!" To Folly And Sin, Self, And Satan 

Is 

The Gift Of God

And

Our Saving Grace! 

Let Us Remember That We Are In Profit 

When Murphy's Law Unfailingly Sends Us 

Into The Presence Of Our Savior Jesus 

Who Is Lord And God Of All: 

Murphy's Law Is Subject To The Lord's Sovereign Will! 

Babies Cry For Help: 

Christians Cry For Help By Praying! 

In All Things, Please Say 

"Yes, Lord! Thy Will Be Done!" 

And 

"No!" To Beelzebub Aka Satan 

And 

His Machinations 

Because 

Over You, He Wants To Gloat! 

Again, Beloved, 

"No!" Is A Complete Answer: 

Use It Right ... And With Might

And 

Live In Eternal Light! 

Earnestly, Fervently, Pray ... And Press On! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Count The Stars!

Whether We Desire To Believe It
Or Choose To Accept It
Into Every Human Life A Little Rain Will Fall!

Brethren,

When We Are Expecting Rain Showers
What Is That Thing That We Do Automatically!?!

Close The Windows!

Get Out The Umbrella, Raincoat And Galoshes!

Pick Up Any Clothing That's Outside On The Line!

In Short, We Get Our Priorities In Order!

So, With That Said

When You Are In Difficulty 

And 

Those Around You Who Have No Intimate Knowledge 

Or Personal Experience Of The Known Goodness Of Almighty God 

Encourage You, Like Job's Wife Did, To Curse God And Die

Please Look Away From Those Agents Of Satan 

And 

Look Up 

And 

Count The Stars ... You Can't 
And 
Remember That Our God Holy Calls Them All By Name

And That 

He Holds This World In The Palm Of His Hand! 

Your Name Is Engraved On Jesus Christ's Holy Hand!
He Knows You Personally

Provides For You Infinitely

And 

Loves You Sacrificially 

And 

Eternally!
Think On Him Constantly!
Call On Him Ad Infinitum! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Good Grace And Great Mercy Are Available 
And 
Free To Me And Thee
So, No Matter The Sorrow
The Horror
The Shock
The Shame
The Problem
The Pain
Let All That Fills Your Hurting Heart
Be The Holy Loving-You Jesus!

Remember ... 

Jesus Christ Feels What We Feel
And

Nothing Can Happen To Any Of Us Unless He Permits It: 

You Do Not Walk Alone When You Trust In The Eternal God! 

Dare To And Boldly Use Your Gift Of Holy Faith Now: 

Hold On To Jesus Christ The Righteous King
And 
Be Eternally Blessed ... Saved Forever! 

Nothing Is Impossible 
To Those Who Believe The Lord Christ 

And 

Trust Him And His Living Word!

AMEN!!!

It's Good To Get A Reminder Of What Should Be Obvious!

You're So Right!
I Sometimes Forget And Attend The Free Pity Party
At Sorry For Me!

I Recently Had A Turn Around Why Me!?! Mall!

We Can Laugh At This Now
But 
We Should Remember That 
We Do Ourselves A Great Disservice 
And 
We Dishonor Our Lord Christ!

Let Us Endeavor ... By God's Grace
And
The Guidance And Leading Of The Holy Spirit
Never To Minimize His Love For Us Ever Again!

Remember, Beloved

Look Up ...!

... And Count The Stars!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: New Life Is Up Ahead + PRAYER: Bless Me, Lord To Live...!

I Don't Want To Be A Lot's Wife!
I Don't Want To Be A Mrs. Job!
I Don't Want To Be A Sapphira
AND
I Don't Want To Be A Laodicean Bold!

Lot's Wife Looked Back
At The Perishables
Perishing
AND

Lost 

New Life Up Ahead!

Mrs. Job Doubted God's Favor
AND

Wanted Her Husband
The Giving God To Curse
So That God Would Strike Him Down Dead!

Sapphira
- With Her Husband -
Lied To The Holy Spirit
AND
Reached Their Life's Limit
And
Were Carried To Their Long Homes
Foot First!

There Was No Hearse!

Oh, Lord
Save Us From The Curse!

I Don't Want To Be Like
Murdering, Lying Cain
Man-Hunting, God-Not-Fearing Nimrod
Nor
Wilfully, Presumptuous

Killing-The-Innocent Saul
Nor
Joseph's 10 Brethren
Envious
Before They Sought
Life-Preserving Grain!

These Men Tried To Mimic Cain!

Nor Do I Desire To Be 

Jacob
- Living Cunning -
Before He Reached Beth-El
Nor Laban
Who Thought
He Could Curse Who God Blessed
Nor Nebuchadnezzar
Before God's Holy Name He Confessed!

I Desire To Be A Rahab
Who
- Though A Practicing, Willing, Sinner -
Heard The Word About Lord
AND

While Having No Personal Experience Of Said God
Believed The Tidings
AND

Sought The New Life Award!

I Desire To Be 

A Repentant David
A Self-Denying Moses
A Faithful Samuel
A Trusting Joshua
A Believing Nehemiah
A Good King Josiah
And
Not A Black-Hearted Jezebel
But
A Fired-Up-For-God Elijah
A Lamenting Jeremiah
AND
An Obedient-In-The-Face-Of-Real-Shame Hosea
Trusting God Ever
Over Self
AND

Walking With
Talking About
Leaning Upon
Loving Unreservedly
Looking Unweariedly
To Be With The Lord!

PRAYER:

Father,

Let Your Truth

In My Inward Parts

Be Visible In My Extremities!

Let Your Love In Me Bear Fruit

So That From Me

A Basket Of Blessings

To Others May

Will Go

Shouting The Glad News:

"Jesus Christ Saves!"

Working To Help Remove

Even The Most Gross Sinner

From

In

And

Around

Satan's Household

No More To Be A Chained Slave!

Lord,

I Trust You In My Little Strength - 

Help Me To Trust You In Yours

Always

And

Surely

In The Dark Days

Up Ahead

When Faith Is Tried

And

Woes Are Constant By My Side!

Help Me, Lord

 To Bless You

And

To Hold On To You

On Those Days When

Wilful Self Would Cause Wavering Faith

To Be Denied!

Help Me, Lord

Not To Be Driven And Tossed

As Wave Of The Sea

For, Truly

I Desire To Receive

Glorious Blessings Of Thee!

Help Me To Hold On To You

When Carnal Life

- Acting As Satan's Paid Agent -

Demands

That You Must Be

- By Needy Flesh -

Decried

Because You To Me

- About The Peaceful Life - 

Lied!

Help Me To Hold Firm The Blessed Hope

- Christ In Me My Hope Of Glory -

For Heaven's Glories Await

All

Who To The Lord Christ

Remain Faithful!

Lord, 

Help Me To Stay Prayed Up

Bound Up

And

Sealed Up

In Salvation's Protective Cloak

So That I Will Not Be Drawn Away

To Wear

Satan's Rainbow-Styled Yoke!

Lord,

I Pray With Passion

For The Counterfeiter's Days

To Come To Their Just End!

My Father,

I Give You

My Worship

Your Deserved Honor

And

My Faithful Praise

So

Please Bless Me To Live

In The True Light Of Heavenly Love

So That I Will Be Exalted To Inhabit

Eternity's Untimed

No Night

Unending Days

And

To Fix My Real Gaze

Upon My Savior's Beautiful Face!

I Love You, Lord

And

In Jesus' Name

I Plead For Blessings

Not Just For Myself

But Most Assuredly

For The Faithful Brethren!

AMEN.
