WISDOM: Sinning Is No Delight!

He Who Made Us
Will Show Us No Mercy
AND
He Who Formed Us
Will Show Us No Favor
AND
All This Will Happen
In The Raining Down Of The Seven Last Plagues
If We Don't Choose In Advance
To Give Jesus Christ
In Our Hearts
Pride Of Place!

Mercy Is Currently Available
AND
Grace Is Still Available, Too
BUT
In The Day That Christ's Intercession
For Mankind Does Cease
All Self-Appointed
For Damnation
Will Not Be Singing Gleefully!

Now Is The Accepted Time!
Now Is The Day Of Grace!
Now Is The Time To Accept Salvation
AND
Now Is The Time To Tell Satan
Get Out Of Your Face!

Tomorrow Is Not To Man Promised!
Tomorrow's Sun May Never Rise!
Tomorrow's Grass Must Grow Today
AND
We Can't Go To Glory Tomorrow
If We Don't Do Today
The Will Of The Risen Reigning Christ!

By Wisdom
Build Your House On The Rock!
By Understanding Let Your Faith Be Established!
By Knowledge
Fill Your Heart With Prized And Precious Promises
AND
With Conviction
Hold To Him Who Your Condemnation
On That Vile Cross Took
As Does Says That Holy Good Book!

No Man
Can Serve God AND The Devil!
No Man
Can Be A Good Christian AND A Crook!
No Man
Can Take The Prerogatives
Of God Unto Himself
AND
Expect The Almighty God To Say:

Welcome, Friend!

Welcome, Good Servant Of Mine!

You For Me Did Your Very Best

So Enter My Joy

And Rest

With My Blessed!

We May Act AND Walk Holy
In Our Very Own Sight!
We May Walk Holy In The Day
AND
Play With Satan In Close Quarters
AND
In The Dark Of The Night!
We May Pretend To Ourselves
That Constant Sinning Is A Fine Delight
BUT
In God's Holy Sight
We Are Headed For Permanent Separation
From God
Into Eternal Night
Never To Enjoy 
The Glorious Son's Living Light!

That Is A Crying Shame!

God Is Good!
God Is Great!
Get Ready Now!
It Is Not Yet Too Late!
Please Commit Your Way
To Jesus Christ Our Savior
Before Offers Of Mercy Cease
AND
Heaven As A Scroll Rolls Back
AND
The Faithful Living
AND
The Risen Faithful Rise Up To Glory
In Peace And Joy
To With The Conquering King
Forever Be!

Clocks Run Forward!

Clocks Don't Turn Back!

Satan Is The Liar

AND

Will Any Human Attack

So

Protect Yourself

By Walking With The Living God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Personal False God

I Once Had A Personal False God
That Daily I Worshipped Lovingly In My Big Wall Mirror!
I Winked!
I Waved!
I Smiled!
AND
I Embraced It
For My God
For Me
Always Would Deliver!

I Was Born With The Sin Nature
AND
I Was In Wilful Opposition To The Living God
Who
- It Appeared To Bright Me -
Desired Just Because He Gave Life To Me
That I Put His Will Before Mine
AND
That My Heart To His Heart Ever Be Inclined!

It Wasn't Working!

You See ...

The King James Bible Told Me
That My Life Is A Gift
AND
The World Tells Me
I Owe No Man Anything But
"Thanks!"
For The Present
So ... I Could Not Understand
Why The Gift Giving God
Wanted More Than "Thanks!"
For His Gifting My Life To Me!

It Seemed Kind Of Greedy To Me!

Then, One Day ...

It Was Brought To My Attention
That The Creator Of My Life
Made Me For His Own Pleasure
AND
His Having Given Me My Life
AND
My Free Will
Was For Me To Give Back To Him Freely
So That He
In Turn
Would Make Me His Peculiar Treasure
AND
In The Fullness Of His Time
When
With My Permission
He Has My Character Refined Into His Image
AND
I Have Endured To The End
All The Tests In This Life That Are Mine
That The Giver Of The Best Gifts
Will Remake Me
AND
Take Me
To His Heavenly Home
Where God's Eternal Light Shines!

Huh?!

Hmmm  ...

Ahhhmmm ...

Uh huh ...

Alrighty Then! Yes! Yes!
I Feel You!

So ...

What About The False God
That You Had In The Wall Mirror?!

It And I
Are Ever In A Battle!
I Must
By Prayers To God
Cause The God Of Self
Daily To Fall!
It Is A Constant Struggle
AND
At Times
I Get Well And Truly Bruised
BUT 
I've Chosen The Gift Giver
For My Leader
AND
Self Has No Choice But To Lose!

I Once Couldn't See My Own Sin
For Self-God Was A Lying One In The Din!
I Placed My Self Before My Soul's Salvation!
I Had Made Peace With The Fraud!
I Was Interesting!
I Was With Self Smitten
AND
I Was A Blinded Fool
Used By Satan Like A Cheap Tool!

I Behaved Just Like Satan!
I Could Only See Self!
I Loved Me To Distraction!
I Cared Not For My Soul's Health!

BUT ...

One Glad Day
A Chink Appeared In The Mirror
AND
A Wrinkle Was Revealed In My Face!
A Wrinkle Was Exposed In My Spirit
AND
Mirror-God Couldn't Fix The Chink Nor The Wrinkles
AND
I Knew Then That A Non-Fixing God Is A Disgrace!

I Bowed My Head And My Heart!
I Stepped Out Of The Den Of The One Dark!
AND
I Apologized To The God Who Gave Me Life
For All The Times I Did Of Him Snark!
I Removed "Constant I" From My Vocabulary
AND
Instituted 
"Yes, Lord!"
"... You, Lord!"
AND
By Faith
This Child Is Avidly Seeking After The Gift Giving God
Who Provides
Without Our Having To Ask!

Thank God For Grace!

PRAYER : I Need You, Lord

I Love You, Lord

And

I Will Glady Eat

What You, In Love

Daily Feed Me

For I Have No Desire

To Permit Satan To Lead Me

To Pastures Of Pretty Provisions

Where The Eating Costs Plenty!

Father, My Soul Is In You

Satisfied!

I May Eat Grass

But I Shall Be In You

Fat And Flourishing

For I Am Nourished

From The Living Hand

That Was Dead

The Hand Of The Glorious King

Who Willingly Died In My Stead

So That I

May Be Made Fit

For Heaven

After Having By His Grace

Been Suitably Fed!

Lord, I Have No Need

For Gold-leaf Covered

Spinach Leaves!

I Have No Need For Water

Filtered Through Precious Stones As Rocks!

I Have No Need For

Caviar-Grade Meals

But I Need Ever Always

To Have You

As Provider Of My Necessary Meals!

I Need You, Lord

To Provide Me With Spiritual Food!

I Need You, Lord

To Guide Me And Help Me To Stay Away

From The Wrong Path

Where Once I Stood!

I Need You, Lord

To Bless Me

Heal Me

Guide Me

Out Of The Monster's Woods

Where Satan Himself

Is Builder Director Perfector

Of The Dark Neighborhood!

Lord, Help Me To Live In The Light

So That I May See My Jesus As King

At The Passing

Of Earth's Long Night!

In Jesus' Name, I Make My Plea!

Oh, How I  Love You, Lord!

AMEN
