With Confidence And In Humility, Depend On The Lord!









Beloved, 

Despite The Challenges We Daily Face
Let Us Approach Our Great God In Prayer 
With Humility, Confidence, And Dependence! 

In Humility 
Because 
You Are In The Holy Presence Of The Eternal And Sovereign God! 

In Confidence 
Because 
You Know That Your God Is Real 
And 
Is Well Able To Provide 
For He Is Our Creator And Our Re-Creator
And 
Our Redeemer-God
Our Deliverer
The Lord Of Life! 

In Dependence 
Because 
We Know That He Knows That We Need Him Who Made Us
And 
We Know That He Loves Us Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally
And 
Desires Our Salvation
Our Healing
Our Cleansing

And 

We Truly Believe That 
He Will Do All That He Has Promised To Do For Us 
By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
And 
Ascension To His Father's House As The Conquering King! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Guarantees Of 
Goodness And Grace And Glory In This Life 
Are In The Word Of Christ The King Who Gives Us Liberty! 

Let Us This Day Bow Before The Lord With Love
In Humility
Expressing Need, Gratitude, Giving Thanks, And Praise
Believing And Trusting Almighty God 
In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus
And 
Finish It All With A Glad 
"AMEN! - So Let It Be!" 

Our King Is Coming: 
Get Ready 
And
Stay Vigilant Against Deceitful Snakes
Roaring Lions
And 
Fearsome Dragons! 

Look To Jesus Christ 
The Living, Holy, Light Of Life That 
Leads To Eternal Life! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: EVIL: Name It And Shame It!






The Way Of Evil 
Is 
As Mesmerizing As The Eyes Of Snakes
And 
The Designs On Their Skins! 

There Is No Explanation Nor Excuse For Evil! 

There Is No Safe Way To "Play" With Evil 
And
There Is No Avoiding The Stain Nor Stench Of 
Having Been Enmeshed, Involved, With Evil! 

Evil Turns Life Upside Down And Backward! 

We Cannot Live Peacefully With Evil 
No Matter The Popular Word On The Street
In Movies
TV Shows
Books
And 
Role-Play Games! 

Beloved, 

Evil ... Just Like Sin
Must Be Properly Named 
And 
Shamed 
No Matter Who Is Doing It
And 
No Matter Why It Is Being Done!

Potiphar's Wife 
Tried To Get Patriarch Jacob-Israel's Beloved Son, Joseph
Their Purchased Slave
To Do Evil In The Ever-Present God's Sight: 
He Rejected Her
And 
Called Her Out On It! 

Joseph Remained Clean Before The Lord 
Even Though He Endured Unearned Disgrace
Much Suffering
And 
Unimaginable Sorrow! 

Our Lord Jesus ... The Judge Of All Flesh
Vindicated Joseph 
And
Elevated Him Above Said Potiphar 
And 
His Evil, Lying, Wife! 

Dear Ones, 

Evil, Like Lead, Sinks Under Its Own Weight! 

Cream Aka Goodness, Like The Sun
Rises Because Of Its Nature 
And
Does Its Appointed Work 
As Ordained By Its Maker! 

Let No One Deceive, Beguile, You: 
Right And Light Have No Midnight 
In Almighty God's All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Holy Sight! 

Avoid Even The Appearance Of Evil! 

Peace!

FOLLOWING CHRIST: Eagles Soar!




 
 

Almighty God's Living Truth 
Is 
A Shield
A Sword
A Firm Foundation! 

Almighty God's Eternal Love 
Is 
A Roof
A Pillow
A Blanket
A Bed! 

Almighty God's Daily Gift To Us Of 
A Measure Of His Faith For Each Day
Is 
Food
Water
Perfume
A Broom

Our Loving, Faithful, Trust In Jesus Christ 
Is First
Shoes
Then Donkey
Bus
Car
Train
Plane
And Then 
The Wings Of The Eagle
Used Not In Vain! 

Beloved, 
We Have The Promise Of Almighty God That 
We Who Wait Upon The Lord 
Shall Mount Up With The Wings Of The Eagle! 

Eagles Soar On The Thermal Draughts 
Above The Heads Of Men
The Canopies Of Trees 
And 
The Rugged Peaks Of Mountains! 

Eagles Don't Congregate With Buzzards Looking For Dead Meat! 
They Don't Stealthily Slither On The Ground 
Like Snakes 
Looking To Destroy The Careless And Incautious! 
They Don't Follow The Worldly Ways Of The Peacock
Preening
Fanning Tail Feathers 
And 
Saying, Always Saying: 

"See Me!
I'm Here!"

Let's Be Wise ... Strategic
Focused
Determined ... Enduring
Faithful To The Living God
Trusting His Eternal Word
Loving Him For Loving Us 
And
Loving To Walk In His Ways! 

Dare ... By Available Grace
- Through Enduring Faith That Works By Love -
To Rise To Heights Unknown 
As You Follow Jesus Christ
- Immanuel ... God With Us -
To The Aerie That 
Is 
The Holy City
The Home Of Everlasting Love! 

Look Up
To Rise Up
And
Go Up
To Live, Forever, With The Eternal Holy God
In Whom Is No Shadow Of Turning At All!

Simple Things Confound The Worldly Wise!

I Like Things Simple!
Clean Lines!
No Convolutions!
No Switch-Backs!
Just Give Me Plain, Straight-Forward, Speech And Action
Just Like The Word Of God!

I Hear THAT!

The God Almighty Says ... Ever Present Tense:

Do Good: Good Will Attend You!
Worship The Living God: Idol Worship Will Kill You!
Obey My Commandments: You Will Live!
Disobey My Commandments: You Will Die!
Don't Follow The Multitude: They Do Evil!
Be At Peace With God: I Create And I Destroy!
Don't Walk In The Counsel Of The Ungodly: You Won't Prosper!
Your Sins Are Scarlet: I Will Make Them White As Snow!
Don't Doubt: Faith Works!
Sin Costs: Salvation Pays!

Simple, Simple, Simple!

Let's Now Let The Fallen Wise Men Of The Earth
Complicate The Word Of God 
And
Complicate Simple Things:

Sin: What Is Sin!?!
What Is Sin To Me Is Not Sin For You
And If, Indeed, You Sin
Is It Not Possible That The Sins Of Your Forebears 
Are Manifesting Themselves
In Your Present Life!?!

You Are Not Responsible For What You Do 
Because Old Gran And Pop-Pop
Engendered In You The Capacity To Commit "Sin" 
Which Is As A Result Of 
Your Parents Not Nursing You For A Full Six Months 
And Neglecting To Give You
Whatever You Asked For 
To Satisfy The Yearning Child Within You Who Is Hurting
Even Crying Out 
For The Unconditional Love Found In The Hearts Of
 Truly Liberated And Emancipated Parents 
Who Are, Themselves, Seeking To Find Their Own Lost Child Within!

Oookay!

The Lord Says: Come Boldy
Confess Everything
Repent
Get Forgiveness
Be Cleansed!
How Is It Possible To Be Made Whole
If You Refuse To Acknowledge That You Are Broken!?!

If You Can Answer That, You Are The Boss!

He Can't Answer Because There Is No Answer
Just Like There Is No Excuse For Sin!

KISS!
Keep It Simple, Saints!
Satan Complicates Things!
The Lord Make Things Straight And Plain
So Pray Always ... Without Ceasing
And 
Trust Jesus Christ In All Your Ways!

Deceit Always Wriggles Like The Snake That Caused Sin
So Turn Your Back And Firmly Walk Away!
There Is Nothing Called A Win With Sin!
Make Jesus Christ And His Righteousness
Your All And Everything
And
Keep Satan And His Fallen Angels
And
His Henchmen And Their Iniquitous Ways
Away From Your Way Of Operating
So That You Do Not Receive Their Promised Reward!
Satan Is The Damned-For-Eternity God-Fraud!

Iniquity Is Planned Sin! 
Planning To Sin Is Planning To Die! 

Living Right Is Righteousness 
And 
Righteousness Leads To Our Restoration
And 
The Glorious Day Of Reward 
When Our Lord Shall Come! 

Our End Is Our Choice!
Choose To Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation
And
Wisely Choose 
To Eternally Live With Jesus Christ In His Glory! 
Abundant And Glorious Blessings Await His Saints!
