VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Father Gives: Let Praise Be What You Do!

 

The Father Gives! 

Jesus Christ Provides! 

The Holy Spirit Reveals! 

And Thee, Oh, Man Of Flesh

What Dost Thou Do!?! 

Every Saint Of God And Christ

Comforted And Taught Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And 

Daily Protected By The Holy Angels

Those Beings Of Excellent Strength

Should Have A Song Of Praise And Thanks 

Ringing In The Portals Of Heaven Through And Through! 

Are You A Sinner ... Saved!?! 

A Child ... Loved!?! 

A Student ... Taught!?! 

A Servant ... Employed!?! 

A Saint ... Sanctifying

Going From Death To Life

From Lying To Truth By Grace

With Mercy

For Love

With Light

Eating Good Food ... Truth Satisfying

Drinking The Water Of Life From The One Without Guile

The Lord Of Life ... No Denying!?! 

Then Raise The Song! 

Sing The Song! 

Let Your Heart's Song Fill The Air! 

Let Your Light From Almighty God Shine! 

Let Your Love For The Eternal God Be Everywhere! 

Let Your Faith In The Glorious God Testify

And 

Daily Do A Damage Against The Adversary Of Your Soul: 

See To It That You Make The Devil Cry! 

Let The Spirit Of The Lord In You Rise

And 

Our Great And Giving God Graciously, Thankfully

Joyfully Glorify! 

Let Praise Be What You Do 

Because 

Jesus Christ Willingly Died To Personally Save You

And 

Me, Too! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!

Give Almighty God Great Praise: 

Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved

About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 

Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 

And 

Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 

Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God

Who Ever Strengthens Us 

And 

Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 

But 

What We Mean To Say Is That 

We Trust Him Sometimes 

And 

Usually When It Is Convenient 

Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 

And 

We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers

That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 

And 

Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 

Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 

And 

We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 

Aka Haul Back The 

"Where Was God When ... !?!" 

And 

Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 

"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 

My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 

When You Have Cash To Burn

Food To Waste

Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot

Nice Children

The Adoring Spouse

And 

Pleasant Work! 

If, However

You Can Pray, Praise

And 

Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life

You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 

Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves

Committed Christians 

May Be As The Whistling Kettle That

Sings Its Best Music 

When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied

 To Its Bare Bottom 

And

The Only Stress-Reliever

Is To Sing Unto God 

Until Relief

The Promise Of Very Present Help

Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus

For Being The On-Time

In-Time

Never-Late

Promise-Keeping

Heart-Cleansing

Ever-Loving

Always-Giving God Of Grace 

Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 

Because

You Are Our Perfect Love

Blessed Hope

And

Sweet Peace! 

AMEN!!!

You're Not A Bassett Hound

Since The Lord Jesus Is Your Strong Arm 

And 

Is Also The God Who Protects You From Enemies 

Seen And Unseen

Known And Unknown

Near And Far

Unexpected And Underestimated

And 

You Trust Him 

Because 

You ... By Experience

Have Come To Personally Know His Personality

And

His Love And Power 

Why In The Name Of All That Is Holy 

Are You Walking Around Looking Like 

A Droopy-Eyed, Put-Upon, Bassett Hound!?! 

Where Is Your Song Of Praise And Rejoicing!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Sell 

Our Love And Worship Of Our Lord Christ Short 

Just Because 

Our Ears Are Itching

Our Noses Are Twitching

Our Eyes Are Blurry

Our Legs Are Numb

Our Fingers Have Become As Frozen Claws

And 

Our Brains Are Seemingly Burping! 

Our Loving God Is! 

Our Gracious Lord Can! 

Our Gentle Master Cares! 

Our Kind King Reigns And Rules 

And

Glory Be To Jesus

He Forgets Not His Own! 

Please Never Forget That 

All Things Work Out For Us 

Who Passionately Love The Lord! 

Please Always Remember That 

It Is Jesus Christ Himself Who Says 

Bring Your Burdens And Leave Them With Him:

He Gave Us The Holy Spirit Of Truth As Our Comforter 

So Sing For Joy 

And 

Praise The Lord Of Life 

And

Let Satan

His Fallen Angels

And 

His Licensed Emissaries Be Damned! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

Raise Up Your Head! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ The Lord Feels For Us, Everyone!

We Are Sacrificially Loved

By The God Of The Universe!

Let's Live Like We Know It!

Let's Show It By Thought

By Word

And In Deed!

Our God Is Truly Awesome!
We Serve The Holy God 
Who Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities: 
We Are Blessed Forever! 

We Worship The Eternal God 
Who Is Our Help And Our Shield: 
He Will Do Everything To Aid Us 
And 
He Can Shield Us From All That Assails Us! 
Trust, Obey And Ask!

Let Us, Therefore
Remember Whom It Is That We Worship
Give Thanks Unto 
And 
Praise
And 
Let Us Stiffen Our Spines 
And 
Straighten Our Wobbling Knees
And 
Let Us Hold Out Steady Hands To Accept All That 
Our Loving King And Shepherd Has For Us! 

Brethren, Beloved

Do Not Fear Either Man Or Your Circumstance: 
Fear, Trust, Obey And Worship God
And 
Be Eternally Blessed! 

No Matter What Your Eyes See
No Matter What Your Ears Hear
No Matter What Your Skin Feels
Trust The Living Word Of Saving Truth
Always Relevant ... Always Current
And
Ever Trusting Your Gift Of Faith For The Day
Strength For The Way
And
The Promise Of Grace To Find Help In Time Of Need
Give Thanks With Your Humble, Grateful
Hope-Filled, Believing, Trusting Heart: 
Our God Is Real 
And
Mighty 
And
Ready, Willing, And Able To Save! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Perfect Peace!
