HAPPY SABBATH + The Little Bird Sings! + PRAYER: Lord, Help Me Sing!

I Was Saying My Prayers This Morning
When I Became Conscious Of An Intruding Song!
I Said To The Lord
With A Smile On My Face:

It Would Be Nice
To Know What That Little Birdie Is Saying!

In An Instant
In My Mind
I Caught On To The Refrain:

God  ... Is  ... Good!

God  ... Is  ... Good!

God  ... Is  ... Good!

My Smile Grew Broader!

What A Refrain
From A Little Creature
- With Feathers -
Who Heralds The Dawning

AND
Who Pays Homage To Our Creator
No Matter The Season
The Reason
The Storm!

That Creature Small
But

Filled With Gratitude
Cares Not
Who Hears Him Sing
For
He Volubly Tells All And Sundry
About His Lord And King
Who Provides For His Welfare
Every Single Thing!

PRAYER:

Oh, Lord

Most Holy

Please Place A Gratitude Song

Deep In My Heart

So That I May Gladly Sing

And

Tell Of Him

Who Puts New Songs

In New-Made Redeemed Hearts

Who To Him Cling!

Please Let My Song Sing

Of Gladness

Blessedness

Thankfulness

And Joy

Salvation

Redemption

Forgiveness

And Rest

Love

Peace

And Hope

And

Trust

In My Holy God!

Let Peace Reign!

Let Trust Soar!

Let Thankfulness Be Triumphant

Inside Or Outside

Open Or Shut Doors!

Let Hope Sing The High Note For Joy!

Let Gladness Hum Hum Hum

A Thrilling Cadence Without Alloy!

Let Salvation

And

Forgiveness

Work And Rest Peacefully In Me

And

Let My Heart Leap

In The Dance That Walks

- Without Growing Weary -

Steadfastly

Unto Coming Glory!

Lord,

Let Me Sing

As The Little Bird Sings

The Only Difference Being

That I Sing In Praise

Of The Lord Of Life

Who Sacrificed

And Died

To Forever Save Me!

I Will Sing!

Lord, Help Me Sing

For

I Love

Honor

Worship

And Praise

The Living God

My Lord

And

My King!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Why Between Two Thieves?!

Once Upon A Time
Long Ago
AND
Far Away
The Savior Of The World
Hung
Between Two Thieves!

At First
They Both Reviled Him!
BUT, THEN
When The One Became Educated
As To Who The Middle Man Was Is
He Cried:

"Lord! When You Shall
In Your Kingdom Come
REMEMBER ME!"

The Crucified Lord
Replied:

"I Say Unto You Today:
'You Shall Be With Me In Paradise!'"

And That Reformed, Regenerated Thief
Was
In That Very Instant
Reconciled
To The Holy God!

He Died 
At Peace
Having Repented Of His Sin!

The God-Man In The Middle
Died Of A Heart
Broken
Borne Down
Covered
In The Sin
Of All Mankind
In All Ages
Past, Present, And
Future!

Interestingly Enough
Everybody Thinks That
Three Men
On Crosses
Was The Extent
Of The Old Story!

It Isn't!

Guilty As Charged:

Left-side Thief 

Jesus Christ, The Righteous - King Of The Jews

Right-side Thief

Both Thieves Were Rare-mouthed Sinners

*********

The Life Of Christ Called To The Thieves:

The Left-side Stiff-necked, Still Reviling Thief

REJECTED THE CALL TO SALVATION

Jesus Christ, The Righteous

The Right-side Convicted-Of-Sin Thief

ACCEPTED THE CALL TO SALVATION

*********

Left-side Thief

Died

IN HIS SIN!

Jesus Christ, The Righteous

Right-side Thief

Died 

JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST!

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER:

The Physical Arrangement Of Jesus Christ's Position Between The Two Thieves On The Cross Was No Accident! It Is A Clear Pointing To The Close Of Human History As Found In The Words Of Truth:

Matthew 25:31-34 King James Version (KJV)

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

There Are Only 

Two Types Of Humans 

At The Close Of Time:

Humans Standing For God

and

Humans Working Against God

*********

No Human Is Permitted The Middle Ground!

So

Your Position Of "No Decision!"

Is

Your Decision ... AGAINST GOD!

Please Do Not Make THAT Mistake!

Are You A Sheep?

Sheep Gladly Follow 
The Good Shepherd's Way!

Are You A Goat?

Goats Of The Own Volition 
Go On Their Own Sweet Way!

So Choose Your Choice Freely

AND
Get In The Salvation Boat 

For

It Is Not There For Our Amusement
Nor For A Happy Pappy Show!

Jesus Christ Is The Captain

The Captain Of The Good Ship!

He Is Also The True Shepherd

AND 
All On Board The Vessel

Are Safe With And In Him!

Be Not Afraid

For The Tossing Of The Cruel Sea

The Captain - Who Is Your Shepherd

Will Take You To The Peaceful Shore
Battered Or Bruised Or Broken
BUT 

Always Safely!

Sheep!

- Not Goats -

Will Gladly Ride On The Boat

For

Sheep Give Heed To Their Known Master

BUT

The Goats 
Constantly Stubbornly Always Away Swing 

AND

Avidly Eat The Life Boat
Which Is There For Their Own Souls' Saving!

Repentance

Is

The Best Course

For

The Sin-Sick Soul!

*********

Answer The Call

AND

Take Your 
Bedeviled Goat Parts 

To Jesus Christ

To Be 

Remade 

As 

Good Sheep Parts 

TODAY!!
