BECAUSE They Trust God!

The Bible Does Not Say
May Be
Probably
Almost
Could Be!
It Emphatically Says:

BUT
The Salvation Of The Righteous
IS
Of The Lord:
He IS Their Strength
In The Time Of Trouble!
(Psalm 37:39)



Does This Not Say To You
That There Are Those
... Other Than Righteous
AND
There Is Ever A Time Of Trouble
... In The Life Of The Righteous?

We Who Have Chosen
To Be Chosen By God
Have Answered The Call
Of God's Holy Spirit
AND
Have Wittingly Turned Our Backs
To The Roaring Fraud!

We Do Not Stand Upon Ceremony
Indulging
In False Piety
BUT
Lean Heavily
Upon The Strong Arm
Of The Jealous God
Who Inhabits Eternity
While Able Also
To Live In Me And In Thee!

We Do Not Hold To The Doctrine Called:

Aversion To Self-Denial


AND
We Do Not Gravitate
To The Smooth-Things
Ticke-My-Ears Church
For Thereby

- In Our Lives -
That Renders
Null And Void
The Reason For Jesus Christ's
Birth Work
AND
Unto-The-Death
Criminal Trial!
Oh, Perish That Denial!

We Walk In The Light
Uncomfortable Though It Be
For
Our God Commands It
IF
We Will Live Lives Godly
For
A Child Of The Light Of Life
Cannot Inhabit Darkness
Neither Can He With Death Play
Believing
It Is No Issue
AND
Cost-Less!
Doing Such Is Altogether Useless
AND
Foolish, I Say!

Light Has NO Consort With Darkness!
Death Has NO Consort With Life!
Jesus Christ Brooks NO Consort With The Devil
AND
We Cannot Call God's Truth
A Fair Lie
AND
Believe That We Will To Have Fly!

Straight Is The GateAND
Narrow Is The Way
AND
Few There Be That Find It
For
Convenience By Accommodating Self
To The Ways Of Sinful Man
Will Have Leave Man
With No Short Back And Sides
To Keep Sin-Obscuring Long Hairs
From Blinding 
That Through Which Man Sees  ... His Sin-Clouded Eyes!

Brethren ...

Oh, TasteAND
See
That The Lord Is Good
AND
Feel Free
To Call On The Shepherd
Who Saved Noah From The Flood!

And, For Good Measure  ...

Be Pleased
To Lean On The Branch
That Drew Water
From The Rock
AND
Rest
AND
Abide In The Guide
From Whom Our Wants
Are Lovingly
- Daily -
Supplied!

Satan Lied!
Christ Died!
BUT
By The Grace Of God
Is Hope For Heaven Supplied
To Those Who
Away From Corroding Sin
Breathe
Free Salvation's Air
Rarefied!

Give (Of) Your Self To The Master!


In Plain Language
King David Said: (Psalm 28:7)


The LORD IS My Strength
And My Shield!

Curiously
He Then Says:


My Heart TRUSTED In Him
(Past)
And I AM HELPED
(Present / Ongoing)!

What, Brethren, Can We Infer From This Statement?

To Me
David Gave Of Himself
- Via His Trust -
Completely  ... To His God!
His Trust Was Not Fickle
Depending On Rewards!
His Trust Was His Standard
For
Living-God Worship
And, Thereby 
He Followed After
The Eternal Holy God!

To Be Called
A Man After God's Own Heart
Is Not Hollywood Hubris
But The Designation
Laid
By The Holy God
Upon A Man
Whose Soul ... Tried
Was To Him
Tied
AND
Fully Invested!

To Really Know God
Is To Really Love God
Is To
- With Full Assurance Of Ultimate Victory -
With No Shadow Of Turning Aside
To Fables And Flatteries
Trust God ... And Go!
AND
Be!
AND
Do!

Look At The Time
When The Child Of David's Sin Was Languid!
Failing Fast!
Ready To Go To His Long Sleep!

David Prayed!
David Fasted!
The Child Died!
David Got Up
Cleansed Himself
AND ... Ate?!

Look At When, In Vanity
Against Common Sense
Against Wise Counsel
David Numbered The People
Because Satan Had Risen Up Against God's People!

He Was Given A Choice Of
Three Terrors:


Three Years Of Famine
Three Months Running From Evil Men
Three Days Of Plague From The Hand Of God!

David Chose Time
Under The Hand Of God
BECAUSE
He Personally Knew
The God Of Mercy
AND
He Lovingly Trusted
In The Almighty God's Mercy
To Remember
That He Was A Mere Man
Weak
Dying Daily
AND
This Is Why He Could Say
To That Same God:


Show The Measure Of My Days
That I May Know
How Frail I Am!

Only A Man
With An Intimate Knowledge
Of This Personal God
Could Ask So Bold A Question!

Do You Know The God Of Heaven
Really Personally
Or
Is He To You
A Passing Acquaintance?

I Have Always Laughed
At The American Penchant
For Calling A Person
A Personal Friend!

Isn't Friendship
- By Designation -
Personal?!

What Is The Difference Between
A Friend
AND
A Personal Friend?

Which Type "Friend"
Is That Friend We Call By Name
Jesus Christ?
Take A Moment
To Know Your Truth!
AND
God's
AND THEN
Let's God's Truth
Reign
Rule
Guide
AND
Bless Your Life!!


Give Of Yourself To Our Master
And
Satan Can't Fool You
With Another Jesus
Nor
With Another Truth!

Give Of Yourself To Our Master
And
Live
- After Death -
In Eternal Youth!
