Promised To No Man!

Beloved, 

We Always Have Choices 

But Chances ... Not So Much! 

We Have The Choice To Make Today: 

Live In Love And Light With The Lord Of Life 

Or

Land In The Lake Of Fire 

Through Lust With The Lord Of Lies! 

As Regards The Chance To Make Our Choice ... Tomorrow

That Day Is Indelibly Stamped: 

"Promised To No Man!"

Oh, What A Horror! 

In The Olde Days

When Some Young Village Ram 

Was Prancing Around And Doing The Dog

And 

Some Elder Would Call Him Out About His Behavior 

And Ask When He Was Going To Change 

Or Give His Life To The Lord

The Patented Response Was Invariably: 

"Tomorrow!" 

Which, Inevitably, Never Came 

Because 

The Grim Reaper Came First! 

Remember, Dear Ones, 

We Can't Buy Life 

And 

We Can Neither Stop Nor Sell Death! 

We Were Constantly Cautioned: 

"What You Can Do Today, Do Today!" 

Or Put Another Way

"Never Put Off For Tomorrow 

What You Can Do Today 

Because Tomorrow's Sun Never Rises!" 

This Is Sound Bible Teaching Worthy To Be Accepted 

And 

Acted Upon 

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

The Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work 

So Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 

To Do A Good Work In Us Today! 

Let's Lean On The Lord 

And 

Learn The Word 

Which Reveals The Thoughts And Intents Of Our Hearts 

And

Is Able To Cut Out The Unprofitable 

Because 

It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword! 

Live Today ... Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Die Twice Today Over Living Tomorrow!

The Trials Of Life 

Either Make Us Bitter Or Better! 

We, Each, Have Option And Opportunity 

To Make The Blessed Choice! 

Trials Help Us To Either Live For The Lord Christ 

Or Be Consumed By The Crisis! 

We Either Live In Hope Or Dine In  Hell! 

Or ... They Will Strengthen Us In Our Gift Of Faith 

Or Strangle Our Desire To Exercise Faith 

Because

By Elevating Doubt, We Can't, In Hope

"See" Jesus Inside The Great Pearl Gates! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Be Self-Sufficient 

Because 

In Matters Of Faith 

It Is Your Worst Enemy! 

Please Cast Your Burden Upon The Lord Christ 

And

Permit Him To Be Your Sufficiency! 

Letting Go ... Of Personal Control

And 

Letting Our Jesus Christ Take Over Control 

Requires A Leap Of Faith 

No "Safety Net" Available! 

Can You Do It!?! 

Will You Do It!?! 

Or Will You By Seeking To Impress Others With 

Your Able Capabilities Which Aren't Worth A Hill Of Beans 

Fail At Working Your Gift Of Unfailing Faith!?! 

"Worry" About What You Can Change 

And 

If You Change "It" 

Then There Is No Need To Die Twice Today 

Over Living Tomorrow 

Which Is Not Promised To Any Living Soul! 

The Point Is That Our Jesus 

Is 

Jehovah Jireh Aka The God Who Provides! 

Please Let Us Endeavor Today 

To Hold On To Him Who Holds Tomorrow In His Holy Hand 

Where The Forever-Blessed Gift Of Grace ... Of Power

Is 

Sufficient For The Day! 

Be At Peace In The Living God: 

Evil Cannot Survive In His Hallowed Presence! 

Peace!

The Lord Has Not Promised ...!

The Lord God Almighty
Has Not Promised Unto Any Man
The Day Called Tomorrow:
Do Not On Satan's Bold Lies Stand!

When The Creator God
Plainly Says:

You Should Buy The Free Clue
And
Recognize That Any Living On A Distant Tomorrow
Is 
One Who Shall Surely Not Have
Even The Ability About It To Sorrow!

 The Lord Also Says:

The Day Given
Is
The Day Blessed
And
Anything Else Anticipated 
Is 
Asking One To Become 
Unnecessarily Stressed!

Today Is A Present
A Gift To Be Unsealed
So Do Yourself A Favor
And
Let It In All Its Heaven-Clad Glory
Be Gratefully, Joyfully, Accepted
As It Is Plainly, Beautifully, Revealed!

Take What The Lord Is Giving
And
Be Blessed To Be A Blessing
For That Is Your Success
Not Hunting And Pecking
And
Indulging In Known Sin
Which Must Then Be Confessed!

Do Not Live Carelessly!
Confess Your Known Sin
And
Repent Each And Every Day!
Do A Daily Debrief!
See For What There Is Or Should Be Grief
And
If In The Night
Or At The Morning's Shining Light
Your Life Is Required Of You
You Shall Go To Your Long Home
Assured Of The Eternal Day
In The Land Where
There Is No More Death
No Crying 
And
No More Sorrow!

Wisdom ...

Be Not As The Unwise
Who Plan For What Is Not Sure
Who Think That Death Is For Everyone Else
When Death Is Knocking At Their Own Door!

If Your Tomorrow
Does Not Include A Life With Christ
Be Ye Warned:
Your Life Is Not One That Can Be Called Blessed
For You Are Living On The Wing
Not The Prayer
And
Your Outcome Is Not One That
The Righteous People Of The Eternal God
Should Embrace Or Cheer!

The Lord Christ Has Given Unto Us 
Promises Preserved In His Innocent Blood
Which He Freely Gave For Our Soul's Salvation!
He Has Promised Us An Eternal Home
And
His Eternal Life
And
He Has Promised Us That He Will Never Again
Destroy The Earth With A Flood!

The World Is Reserved By The Lord
For Destruction With Unquenchable Fire
By His Hand ... Alone
And
All Who Choose Not To Live By His Merits
Shall Find Themselves 
- Along With Satan And His Fallen Angels -
Destroyed By It!

A Word Of Cheer 
For All Who Choose To Believe ...

Satan Is The Father Of Lies
And
His Stated Purpose Is To Deceive
But
The Lord God Of All Grace
Is
Faithful, Just, Loving, Kind And Ever True
And
He Is Calling, Calling, Calling
Pleading With You, Beloved
To Love Him
To Follow Him Faithfully
And
To Him ... Alone
To Be Obedient, Loving And Prayerfully True!

This Is His Sure Word Unto You:

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Worry!?! + PRAYER: I Desire To Please You, Father!

Wow!
You Look So Different!
What's Your Secret!?!

It's No Secret!
I Quit My Work Three Weeks, Four Days
And Fourteen Hours Ago!

What Do You Mean You Quit Your Work!?!
I Saw You On The Job ... In The Distance
Up To Yesterday!

I, Sure Enough, Did Quit
And I Am Fitter
And Fatter
And More Peaceful
And More Rested
And Busier Than Ever!
And ... I'm Loving It!

Hold On, Missy!
You Need To Explain This!

I Quit Going Into Work At The Yoke Manufacturing Plant!
I Quit Working At Worry!
I Suddenly Remembered That
- It Was Brought To My Mind  -
Worry Is An Unnecessary Job! 

Worry Makes Life Harder
The Problems More Severe
And
Manufactures Heavier Burdens
Making Everything Twice What They Need To Be
And
Says Plainly To The Burden Bearer:

Your God Can't Help You!

Enjoy The Load! 

Settle In! 

Be Comfy!

Merciful Powers!

It's True!
I Was Weary With Worry!
I Was In The Class Called Standard Of The World!

I Walked World!

And
I Spoke Christian!
I Was Singing Hymns And Psalms
And, YetI Was In The Service Of Sin!
I Had Desires Above Loving The Son Of Man!

I Had Become Proficient In 

The Customs Of Practicing Worry
And
I Had Been Perplexing My Mind
At How I Could Get Things
- My Lustful Desires -

Fulfilled In A Real Hurry!

I Was Like The Hamster On The Wheel
Running, Running ...!

... And Going Nowhere Real Fast ...!

... And Having All Day To Get There!

What Opened Your Eyes!?!
What Made You Get Off The Wheel!?!
What Caused You The Job Of Worry To Quit!?!

It Was Really Quite Amazing, And I Quote:

I Will Not Leave You Nor Forsake You! 

I Will Not Leave You Comfortless! 

I Will Not Leave You Alone! 

I Number The Hairs On Your Head! 

You Are Worth More Than The Sparrow!

You Are In My Heart! 

I Think On You! 

Your Name Is Engraved

On The Palm Of My Hand! 

I Am Preparing A Place For You:

Do Not Let Worry Stay You From On Your Lot 

Being Able To Stand! 

Precious Child! 

Cease Your Worry! 

Take My Extended Hand!

I Took The Extended-To-Me Hand!

I Accepted The Hand Of Mercy!
I Accepted The Living Holy Word!
I Cast Away My Idols:

• Self 
• Self-Service
• Self-Sufficiency
• Self-Aggrandizement
• Pride And Vanity

And
I, Repentant
Clothed Myself In Plain Humility! 

I Humbled Myself Before The Holy Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!

How Did That Feel!?!

Funny ... At First
Then Fabulous! 

My Jesus
- My Master -
Unfailingly Takes Care Of Me ... Old, Simple, Me!
I Now Daily Take Up My Cross With My Left Hand
And
He Leads Me By My Right Hand!
With Him Leading
I Shall On The Mount Zion
Among The Redeemed Brethren
Immortalized, Incorruptible
Glorified ... Grateful And Blessed Forever
In Triumph Stand!

Would You Introduce Me To The Son Of Man!?!

Absolutely! I Sure Enough Can!

PRAYER:

Please Help Me, Dear Father!

I Am Calling Out To You!

Help Me To Rest In The Shadow Of Your Wings

So That I, Sinner-Repentant

Will Always Be Close To You!

I Pray For Soul And Bodily Healing

Not For Riches, Houses Or Lands!

I Pray For A Converted-To-Christ Heart

So That I May Live Forever With Him

In Beulah, The Beautiful Land!

I Pray For Peace With You, My Father

And

For Strength

To Fight 

The Good Fight Of Faith!

I Pray For Clean Hands

And

A Pure Heart

So That I May Stand Up Straight

In Your Presence

And

Not Be Amongst Those Wearing

The Ashamed Face

Those Of The Disobedient Wild Goat Clan

Who Refused To Follow The Redemption Plan!

I Believe Your Word Is Faithful!

I Believe Your Love Is True!

I Believe That Grace And Mercy

Are Prized Possessions

Blessed

Because They Come Out From You!

I Desire To Please You, Father!

I Desire To Honor Your Great And Holy Name!

I Desire To Tell Others

The Good News Of The Holy Jesus

And

The Coming Kingdom

And

I Desire To Be Embraced

Loved

Guided, Corrected, Protected

Blessed Beyond All Imagining By You

Who Is Loving, Kind, Just And Forever True!

Pity Your People, I Beseech You, Father

Those Who Honor You

Worship You Faithfully

And Adore

Those Who Look For And Love

The Lord's Appearing

Which, Even Now

Is At The Door!

Lead Us, Lord! 

Guide Us Today!

Bless Us With All Blessing

For It Is To The Holy God Eternal

That We Humbly Petition By Faithful Prayer!

We Love You, Father

And Ask These Few Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Matchless Holy Name!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Choose To Lovingly Worship The Lord!

Worry And Worship Are Walking!
Problem Is Walking Behind!
Trouble Is Affably Shaking His Bamboo Switch
AND
Care Is Conversing With The Fraud
Keeping Pace At The Back Of The Line!

The Birds Are Singing To The Glory Of God!
The Flowers Are Showcasing Their Praise With Beauty
BUT
Man ...
Man Is Waffling
Between Worry And Worship
AND
Wondering:

How Can I Now Go To The Living God
When It  Truly Feels Like A Daunting Duty?!

Worshipping The Living God

Out Of A Heart Filled With Love 

Can Never Be A Mere Duty!

Fulfilling A Duty 

On Its Own  
Is Not A Thing Of Beauty
BUT
When Love Is Put First
Duty Is Not Labor
AND
Loving Labor For The Lord
Becomes Couched In Loving Favor
For It Gives To The Almighty
The Sweet Sacrifice's Savor!

"Worship" As Duty

AND

Dutifully Done For Public Reward
IS
Work Done For The Fraud
Who Has No Love For The Living God
AND
All Who Grit Their Teeth
Laboriously Dutifully

AND

Without Love Working For The Coming Kingdom

Worrying About Their Appearance

AND

Their Altitude

BUT

Ignoring Their Base Attitude  Will Get Their Just Reward
Since Their Service Does Not Laud The Eternal God!

The Example Of The Bird
The Flower The Wind
The Tree The Ocean
The Babbling Brook
The Glistening Spring
Should Speak
To Man's Soul
AND
Tell The Old Story Ever New
That The God Of Creation Lives

Is Loving

Is Caring AND
That He Is Looking Out For
AND
Moment By Moment

Taking Loving Care Of You!

So ...

When Wasteful Worry Walks

Causing You Wonder About Serving God

HUMBLY PRAY FIRST

ANDThen Indulge In Self-Talk
Reminding The Soul
To Lovingly Worship The Living God
Who Left A Word On The Record
That All Men Of Faith Should Truly Believe:

Give Your Self Solely To The Living God
AND
With The Bold Faith Of Love

Choose

To Lovingly Worship
The Amazing God Eternal

The Lord Of Life
The God Of Sacrificial Love!

Let Your Prayer Of Faith

Be

Your Life's Connection
To
The Living God!

I'll Not Worry And Wonder
About Stuff And Nonsense!

I Must Pray
