Assured That There Is Blessed Hope

And In Heaven, For Me, A Prepared Place!

Lord,

I Look Around Me!

There Is Competiton Everywhere!

People Are Laying Everything On The Line

Competing With The Bold

The Beautiful, The Brash

The Talented, The Intemperate

The Ungodly, The Irreverent

For The Unprofitable Man-Blessed First Place!

Dear Lord,

Have Mercy Upon Them!

Have Mercy Upon Me, Too!

I Have Resolved That I Will Be Striving

For A Sure Place

In Eternity With You!

I Need You, Lord!

I Know This Need That You, Alone

Can Feed To Satisfaction

As Is Found On The Peaceful, Golden, Shore!

Please Bless Me, My Father

Christ Jesus The Holy Son Of Man

Who Has Caused Us To Be Accepted In The Beloved

Oh, How I Love Jesus

Who Died Shamefully On Mount Calvary!

I Am Blessed And I Know It!

Help Me The Great Name Not To Profane!

I Am Blessed And I Know It!

And Not The Glitz, The Glamor 

The Adulation, The Big Prize Offered

For A Soul To Be Sold

PRAYER: Total Confidence In Jesus Christ, The Light Of Life!

Almighty God,

You Are My Father And My Friend

And

My Hope, My Help And My Salvation

Until My Mortal Life Shall End!

Satan Is The Fiend And My Known Foe

And 

It Is To You, God Beloved

That No Matter What Happens To Me

In This Life

I Shall In Total Confidence Go!

Please Keep Me

So That This Will Forever Be So!

What Can Man Do Unto Me!?!

Man Does Not Hold My Heart!

What Can Satan Do Unto Me That

The Spirit Of Truth Does Not Reveal

And

Provide Wisdom And Comfort Against

In Beautiful Tones As Sings The Lark!?!

Father,

My Life Is Yours!

My Service Is Yours!

My Heart Is Yours!

My Mind Dwells On You!

My Hope Is In You!

My Prayers Are To You

And

My Song Is About You!

I Am Yours, Lord!

Make Me Forever Yours!

I, Now, Fully Understand, Father

The Living Word That Says

We Sin By Thought

By Word

By Deed

And 

In Godly Fear, My Father

I Beseech You To Help Me

To Escape Satan's Snare

By Doing As My Master Did

And

Resorting To You Always In Prayer

For Communion

For Strength

For Love With Love

And

Always Exercising The Word Of Truth

Having An "It Is Written!"

On My Tongue

To Caress And Enter

The Willing Hearer's Ear

And

To Ever Bruise The Head

Of

The Accuser Of The Brethren

The Adversary Of Every Man's Soul!

Father,

Please Keep Me Faithful:

I Desire To Receive From The Holy Hand

Of

My Redeemer

The Overcomer's Crown Of Gold!

I Am Yours, Lord!

Please Help Me

To Never Permit That To Ever Change

No Matter The Matter

No Matter The Wind

No Matter The Weather

No Matter The World's Whim!

Please Help Me To Stay On Task

On Target

On The Strait And Narrow Road

To Hill Zion!

With Gratitude

And

A Thankful Heart, Dear Father

And

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

Beloved Savior

And

Soon Returning Triumphant King

Please Grant Me These Few Petitions

And

Bless Me With Enduring And Obedient Faith!

Please Help Me To Hold The Hand

That Even Now Is Holding Me!

Please Remember The Brethren In Mercy

And 

Grant Us Your Always-Sufficient Grace!

I Love You, Lord!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God Rules ... In The Affairs Of Men!

There Is An Old Adage:

Look For Trouble
And It You Shall Surely Find!

And

The Bible States:

If The Almighty God Says 

"Speak To The Rock!"Don't Bash It Repeatedly
When Anger Is In Your Spine!

If The Almighty God Says

"Walk!"That Is What You Must Do!
Do Not Mind What Others Are Doing

For
The Almighty God Says
Obedience Causes Him
To More Lovingly Care For You!

The Almighty God Raises Up Kings
AND

He Takes Kings Away!
Some Are Anointed

AND

Appointed To Bless
AND
Others Are Appointed For Our Chastisement
When From The Holy God's Tenets
We Boldly Go Astray

Willfully Sinning

Seeing Nothing About Sin To Confess!

Just Think Of King Jeroboam
Used By The Lord
With The Promise:

Obedience By You Will Be Blessed!

Look, Again, At Jeroboam
And SeeFlagrant Disobedience
After
He Started To Buy Into His Own Press!

He Considered Himself A Great Success!

Understand That ...

Any Person Willing
May Be Used ... Valiantly
In The Cause Of God
BUT

Watch The Blessing
Turned Into Cursing
When Pride
Causes A Vile Linkup
With The Wily Fraud!

The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar
Was Appointed To Be Blessed!
He Conquered The World
And Then AssumedThat All His Glories
Were By His Own Prowess!

But, Now ...

Look ... At His Punishment
View ... His Repentance
Applaud ... His Reappointment By God
AND

Know

Understand

Appreciate

Accept

See That

There. Is. No. Blessing.
In Less-Counting The Holy God!

Chastisement Is A Faithful Rod!

Almighty God Rules
In The Affairs Of Men!
For Good Or For Ill
He Can Appoint Even The Basest Of Men! 

A Base Man May Be Low-Born
Or

A High-Born Man Who Is Mind Is Base
AND
In Beholding Such A Circumstance

You Will Recognize That The Almighty God
Is

Sovereign
AND
You Will Know

To Keep Your Eyes Steadfastly Fixed Upon Him!

Please ...

Let Us Pray For Our Leaders
That They Permit Themselves 

To Be Used For Good

AND

By The Holy God
AND
Let Us Also Pray For Yourselves
That We Do Not Look Up To Mere Men
As We Should Look To The Saving God!

Don't ...

Pray Ill For Any Man
Because
There Is No Blessing In That!
Just Pray In Faith

For Healing!

For Heeding! 

AND
Do The Works Of Him Who Sends You
AND
Trust

AND

Obey The Lord Christ Jesus
Who Is Our Guide
Until Our Own Lives
Or
This Mortal Life Ends!

Almighty God 

Is 

Ever Always In Perfect Control

And

He Does Not Share His Glory

With False Gods

False Prophets

Beast Powers

Nor

That Dragon

Satan The Fraud

So

Look Unto Jesus Christ

Learn From Jesus Christ 

Lean Upon Jesus Christ

The Author

And

Finisher Of Your Most Holy Faith

Because

He Will Not Ever

Let You Down!

He, Alone, Wears

The Eternal Crown!
