VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God's Provision!

Psalm 23:5 KJV
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How 
Or What To Provide For Us 
To Sustain Or Maintain Our Lives! 

Blasphemy, Harcourt, Rank Blasphemy! 

Oh, Be Quiet, Minky! 
You Have Been Around Harcourt Long Enough In These Sessions 
To Know Better! 
You Should Know By Now That 
He's Going Somewhere With This! 

I'm Sorry, Harcourt! 

Apology Accepted, Minky! 

As I Was Saying
The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How To Set A Table 
Or What To Place On That Table For Us, To Bless Us! 

We Read In The Scripture Of Truth That 
He Simply Set A Table And Provided The Meal, The Feast
For The Hebrews In The Desert Of All Places 
Without Bre'king Up Fractions! 

So What Does That Have To Do With Us!?! 

Well, Actually, Everything, Mingus! 

What Do You Mean, Harcourt!?! 

Aren't We In A Desert!?! 

What Desert!?! 
We Are In An Air-Conditioned Room! 

Don't Be Obtuse, Carly! 

We Are In The Desert Of Sin Aka Lawlessness 
Where Iniquity Aka Planned Sin Abounds! 

Where Sin Abounded Aka Was Rampant
Grace Does Even More Abound Aka Is More Abundant! 

Great Point, Gully Boar! 

The Hebrews Wanted To Know If The Lord 
Could Set A Table In The Desert! 
The Lord Set The Table In The Desert For Them! 

How Could ... Why Would They Think To Dare Ask Such A Question!?! 

I'm Sorry To Have To Say It
But 
That's What Happens When You Choose To Live Through Your Feelings 
And Not Through The Evidences Of Plain Truth 
As Found In Jesus Christ Aka The Word Of God, Patrice! 

Brethren, 

We Have The Sovereign Lord As Our Savior
The Savior As Our Provider,
And 
This Same  Provider As Our Sustainer! 

Brethren, 

Please Let Us Not Besmirch His Holy Name
His Character
By Diminishing His Ability, His Love For Us
By Looking At Our Desert 
And 
Ignoring His Presence With Us And 
The Provision Already Demonstrably Delivered By Our Deliverer! 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Able
Like Abel Who Did What Was Right! 

Jesus Christ Our Loving Lord Does Right By Us ... His Beloved 
... His Called ... 
His Chosen From Among! 
Never Forget It! 

AMEN!!! 

His Peace Is Upon Us!

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.

Choose The Good Part!






The Lord In Zion Does Not Sleep Nor Wear Dark Glasses: 
He Sees Us All Always! 

No Matter What Is Happening In Your Life
No Matter How Close To You Your Adversary Is
- Be It By Blood, Affection, Faith Or Affiliation -
Please Do Not Indulge In Their Tactics Aka Fighting Fire With Fire! 

Remember Always Whose Child You Are 
And 
Always Remember That The Weapons Of Our Warfare 
Against The Published And Private Agents Of Satan 
Are Spiritual ... Not Carnal
And
Choose To Fight Fire With The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail
 And
The Key In The Hand Of Faith ... Called Prayer
Which Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses 
Wherein Is The Abundance That Almighty God
- Through Jesus Christ Our Lord - 
Makes Available To His People 
By Request For Patience, Provision, Protection, Purity
And
Peace! 

Beloved, 

Satan Is The Condemned And Damned Liar
The Murderer Of Lives, Loves, Hopes And Dreams 
And 
All Who Walk In Charity With Him Doing His Dread Bidding
Shall Join Him 
In The One-Way, No-Escape Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Evil Does Not Go Unpunished 
No Matter Who Is Doing It
And 
Good Does Not Go Unrewarded
No Matter Who Is Performing It! 

Use Your Free Will
And
Your Right To Choose
To Always Choose The Good Part Of This Life
So That The Lord's Best Blessings
Will Fall Abundantly Upon You! 
Look Up To 
And
Embrace The Lord Of Light, Love, Grace And Glory: 
Walk In Wise Ways ... Not Damnable Folly!
There Is No Heavenly Profit For Sinning!


Trust The Lord Always
Because
He Is Our Refuge
And
Our Strength!

Every Day Is Thanksgiving Day! + PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For The Workmen Of Life!



 









Every Day 
Is 
Thanksgiving Day! 

Every Day Is The Day To Pray 
And 
Give Praise And Thanks 
For The Gifts Of Perfect Love That 
We Constantly Receive
And 
To Be Grateful For Heavenly Grace 
From The God Who Sacrificially Loves Us 
Even Though We Often Live Lives 
Which Merit Us Being Among 
The Cast-Out Disgraced! 

Beloved, 

No Matter How Perceived-Small The Gift
No Matter How Allegedly-Late Its Receipt
No Matter That The Gift Received 
Is Not 
The Gift That Your Carnal Heart Desired
Let Us Ever Remember That 
All Good And Perfect Gifts Are From The Holy Hand Of 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Maker And Savior
Redeemer And Forever Friend
The King Of Glory! 

Let Us Cultivate The Habit Of Saying 
"Thank You, Dear Lord!" 
And 
Even More So Now In This Time Where Disease 
Is 
Deftly Trying To Take Our Loved Ones Away! 

Brethren, Beloved

Let Us Use This Day Of Giving Thanks 
To Draw Closer To Our Creator
Our Friends And Family
And 
Let Our Foes Help Us To Lean Thankfully 
On The Love That Will Never Let Us Go! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart 
And 
Decide This Day That From Righteous Living 
Never, Ever, To Depart! 


PRAYER:

Thank You, Father
For Your Myriad Blessings
On Us Children!
Thank You For Giving Unto Us
Our Beloved Savior
Your Only Begotten Son
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Father,
Please Forgive Us
For The Many Times That
We Act As Those Ungrateful
And
Use Language That Is
Utterly Thankless
And
Truly Tasteless!

We Thank You, Dear Father
For The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit
The Protection Of The Holy Angels
Our Spared Lives
The Roofs Still Over Our Heads
And
The Sumptuous And Daily Food
Liberally Provided For Our Tables!

Though We Do Not Desire
To Feel Pressured
Or Experience Problems
Or To Be Ill
Or Financially Embarrassed
Lord,
Even For These Few Trials
We Give You Grateful Thanks
And
Heartfelt, Unfeigned, Praise
Because
These Workmen Cause Us To Hasten
To Your Throne Of Grace
Where We Will Find
Unmerited Favor
From Your Holy Hand
To Help Us In Our Time Of Need!

Oh, Love, That Will Not Let Us Go
We Are Grateful And Thankful That
You Are The Holy God Known Faithful
And
We Ask You, Please
To Help Us To Rest Our Weary Souls
Our Daily Dying Bodies
Our Unbearable Burdens
Our Terrible Tests And Trial
Upon Your Strong, Loving, Unfailing, Arms!

Please Help Us
Even As We Pray
To Not Just Share Burdens And Trials
But
To Share Our Joys
And
To Rest And Abide In Your Love
To Be Refreshed
For The Sure Battles Ahead!

Thank You, Lord
For The Unspeakable Gifts
Most Of Which
We Don't Even Know That 
We Have Received:
We Bow In Worshipful Adoration!

Please, Dear Lord
Help Us To Draw Closer To You
To Live For You
And
If We Are So Called
To Die For You:
You Have Promised
To Raise Up Your Faithful Children
In The Glad Day Of Reunion!
We Trust You At Your Holy Word!

Please Take Our Hands
Please Hold Our Hearts
Please Bless Our Lives
And
Please Give Unto Us
Time And Time Again
More Reasons
To Give You Our Willing Praise
And
Grateful Thanks
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly Pray And Plead! 
We Love You!
AMEN.

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
As In The World, I Follow Thee!
Grant Me The Blessing
The Peace
The Rest

So That I Shall In The Eternal Kingdom
Take Up My Prepared Place!
I Give You All Praise!

*****

Heavenly Father,
I Come Before You Thankful
And Grateful That I Can Appear Before The Holy God
Without Fear
To Offer Up Prayers, Praise

And Just To Be Able To Rest In Thee!

Thank You For This Day's Provision!
Thank You For The Gifts Of Love!
Thank You For Your Personal Sacrifice
Given For Me
So That I May Bask Freely In Your Love!

I Do Not Ask A Boon For Me In This Moment, Lord
But I Ask It, Lord
For Those Who Mourn
Those Anticipate A Mourning
Those Who Lives Are Being Torn Apart
Or Have Been Torn Apart By Violence
By Fire, Flood
Drugs, Religious Persecution
And Even For Those Whose Lives
Are Being Torn Apart By Their Own Hands
Because They Know Not The Lord Christ!
Have Mercy Upon Us!

We Need Our Savior, Father
And I Pray That You Will Open Our Eyes
And Remove That Which Is Causing Our Blindness
And Help Us To See Jesus Christ As He Is
With His Outstretched Hand Reaching Out To Us!
Please Grant Unto Us The Strength To Grasp And Hold
That High And Holy Hand So That We May Be Blessed And Saved!

Father, Please Help Us To Help Ourselves
For We Have No Help But You!

Day Is Dying!
Night Is Calling!
Satan And His Minions Are Upping Their Game In The Fight!
Pity Us Who Believe, Love And Trust You
And Help Us To Be Obedient Always
So That We May Achieve The Purchased Victory Over Sin
And Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home
Where All Is Joy And Peace
Because
Jesus Christ Has Already Paid Our Price
And For Our Sins Sacrificially Atoned!

Please Accept Our Offering Of Prayer
And Grant Us Our Few Petitions
For We Ask All In The Precious Name Of Jesus Christ
The Only One Righteous!
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

Almighty God's Faithfulness Is Truly Great: A Grateful Heart's Prayer!



Great Is Your Faithfulness!
Almighty God ... You Are My Father!
I Believe With-My Known Deceitful Man's Heart
That There Is No Shadow Of Turning With Thee!
Things I Didn't Know That I Needed
Your Holy Hand
Has Generously Provided!
Great Is Your Faithfulness, Lord
Every Day ... Unto Me!

Spring Time Is Now Passed
AND
Summer Time Is Approaching!
The Heat Of The Day
Makes Me Desire To Walk Under Your Cloud
Where
There Is Shade From The Weather
AND
From The Wicked And Evil Elements
That Are Soul Destroyers
AND
I Am Truly Grateful For Daily Faith
AND
Available Grace
From Heaven Above!

My Life Is Not My Own!
Lord, 
Help Me To Follow
Where You Safely Lead!
Help Me Not To Look Back At The Gay And Noisy Crowd
AND
Give Me Strength For My Day
For
I Have A Living Hope Of A Blessed Tomorrow!
I Am Grateful That Your Blessings Are Personally Mine
So
Help Me, In Your Holy Spirit 
Ever To Confide!

A Life Of Sin Is Not Helpful!
Disobedience Does Not Profit!
Waywardness Leads One Astray
AND
For Own Sin
One Will Have To Pay!
Please, I Beseech You
Correct Me Of My Backslidings
AND
Bless Me To Do Your Will
So That Heaven-At-The-Last Trump
Shall Surely Be Mine!

Remember My Brethren
Spread Around This Planet!
Keep Them In Your Care!
Help Them To Worship In Godly Fear!
Bless Them With Wisdom And Understanding
To Appropriate Your Knowledge Provided
So That The Great Deceiver
Cannot Separate Them From Your Holy Love!


Great Is Your Faithfulness!
Great Is Your Faithfulness!
Moment By Moment
Unexpected Mercies I Receive!
All Of My Needs
You Graciously Provide Them!
Great, Lord, Is Your Faithfulness!

Thank You, Lord
For Thinking Of Me So Lovingly!

Rejoicing In Heaven! + PRAYER: Father, We Give You All ...!

There Is Rejoicing Up In Heaven
When A Sinner
From The Darkness
Returns Home
When A Lost Sheep
Of The Lord's Flock
Resigns From Sin
AND
Puts Jesus Christ
On Lock
AND
Inclines His Heart
Toward
The Holy God's Eternal Throne
AND THERE
His Soul Docks!


PRAYER:

Thank You, God

Thank You, God
For The Grace!
Thank You, God
For The Wonderful Blessing
That Nothing On The Earth
Can Efface!

We Cannot See
And
Help Us To Continue
Believing In
The Word Of Truth
That Neither Death Nor Hell
Can Seize!

Dear Lord,
We Bless And Love You
For Your Great Sacrifice
And
Ask You To Help Us
To Continue Looking
With Gladness
Unto The Great Day

We Give You All
The Glory
Praise
And
Honor
And
Thank You For Your Hand
Of Provision

I Go To God + PRAYER: Claiming What God Says Is Mine!





I Live
In A Dying Body!
I Talk
In Prayer
To The Lord Of Life!
My Attitude
Before Him
Is One Of Reverence
Hoping Ever To Let Self
Bow Out
In Deference!

I Go To God
My Case To Plead!
I Tell God Everything
As Before Him
My Heart Bows
And
My Will Yields!
I Take No Pleasure
In Speaking
About My Sinful Disgrace
But
I Go To God Knowing
That In His House
He Holds For Me
A Beautiful Place!

PRAYER:

Lord,
I Place My Lowly Hand In Thine
And 
Willingly Acknowledge
That Thou Art Divine!

I Thank You, Lord
For Your Sacrifice
That Allows Me
By Grace 
To Grow Up
And
I Thank You For The Mercy
That Permits My Repentance
When
For Grace
By My Falling
In The Sad Day
I Fail To Show Up!
Forgive Me!

Father,
I Come To You Humbly
Knowing
That You Are Kind
And
I Claim
With Confidence
What You Have For Me
And 
In The Name Of The Blessed Jesus
I Accept It As Mine!
I Love You, LORD!
AMEN.

The Works and Workings of Almighty God






GOD IS NOT A MAN!

Sooo ....

Let's Get Our Minds Around That Fact
AND
Save Our Souls Absolute Distress
For Believing That God Is As Our Selves!


God Cannot Die!
God Cannot Lie
AND
Even Tough It Is Bandied About in The Din
God Cannot - God Will Not 
Save Us While We Continue Reveling In Our Sin!

God Does Not Joke
So God Can't Prank You!
So, Please Make A Note
God Does Not Need Our Up-Vote!

God Cannot Undo The Past!
God Cannot Not Punish Sin!
God Cannot Change
AND
God Has No Love for That Destructive Work That He Calls Strange!

God Loves The Sinner!
God Hates Sin!
God Welcomes All Who Will
Come to Him Their Known Sin Confessing!

God Hears Our Prayers!
God Answers Our Prayers Because 
He For Us Cares
BUT
God Has Nothing For
The Double-minded Man
Who Doesn't Know Whether He Is Going or Coming!

God The Father
God The Son
God The Holy Spirit
Three Distinct Operating Beings
Which Agree As One!
We Creatures Cannot Pit Each Against the Other
As We Do Our Parents Here on Earth
For 
All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
They Are
AND
They have No Gear Called 
Back-back
Turn Around
Change Position
Nor
Reverse!

God IS Love!
God Has No Kid Gloves!
God Reigns In Earth 
AND 
In Glory!
His Footstool Is Earth
AND
His Throne Is In Glory!

God Is Calling You!
God Is Calling Me, Too!
God Will Not Scream!
God Will Speak Quietly
AND
Even Appear To Us In Our Dreams
BUT
Know With All Confidence
That When We Deny The Liar
AND
Give Up The Life of Dirt
God Will Wash Away The Past
God Will Make Us Anew
God Will Help Us To Endure 
Until This Life Shall End
AND
At The Last Trumpet
God Will Raise Us Up Immortal
To Enter Redeemed
In Through Heaven's Glorious Pearly Gate Portals!

God Cries!
God Gives Good Gifts!
God Heals!
God Feels
BUT
God Cannot Steal
FOR
All That He Surveys IS His
AND
If He Were Hungry
He Would Not Tell Us
For We Surely Have Not The Wherewithal To Him Feed!

God Made Us All
AND
He Gives To Us All
A Portion of His Blessings!
We All Know The Who
BUT
We Will Never Know
The What
The When
The Where
The Why
NOR
The How
Of Almighty God's Provision
NOR
What Is Enough
NOR
What Is Sufficient
BUT
We Know With A Certainty
That There Is No Being Who Can Order God
To Become More - Or Less - Efficient
For There Is No One
Who Can Say To God:

"Know What, For A God
You Are Gross
AND
Your Methods Are Grossly Deficient!"


God 

IS

Sufficient 

Unto Himself!


ACCEPT THIS

and

PROSPER

in

HIS LOVE and CARE!!
