HAPPY SABBATH + Resting In The Love Of The Lord Christ! + PRAYER: It Is Our Desire To Bless You, Father!





He Is Dressed To The Nines
Yet Naked And Afraid!
Afraid And Alone
Alone ... In The Sights Of The Devil
Who Is Plotting 
And 
Instigating What Evil
To That Soul Can Be Done!
He's Having Fun And Then Some
In The Company Of The Popular 
The Illuminated 
The Rich And Connected Ones!

Look At Him ...

He Is Jumping At Shadows
Afraid Of And Loving The Dark
Angry At Disappointment
Lurching From Sorrow To Sorrow
Always Worried About Tomorrow
Yet Loving The Coarse And Bright Broadway
But
Disdaining The Way Straight And Narrow!

 Here's Someone Different ...

She Is Simply Clothed In Christ's Righteousness
A Repentant Sinner
Believing In The Word Of Truth
Bowing Humbly Before
And 
Importunately Praying
To The Heavenly Father
- In The Name Of The Son -
Unafraid To Live Her Life In Christ
And IsBy Circumstance Undeterred
Because
She Is Resting In The Love Of The Lord Jesus
Who Died ... A Curse
To Save Us All, Everyone!

Look At Her ...

Walking With Jesus
Refusing
To Ever Again Run Wild In Sin
Standing
On The Promises Of God
Knowing
That With Faithful Endurance
By Right
Heaven's Gate She Shall Enter In
Nevermore To Be Touched By Evil Surmising!
She's Faithful In Her Daily Striving!

Don't You Know ...

It Is Better To Be Pure, Poor And Humble
With Jesus Christ The Lord
Than To Be
Tainted, Rich And Proud With The Fraud

Because

Pure, Poor And Humble
Stays Pure
Becomes Rich
And
Is Elevated In Christ's Purity To Eternity

But

The Tainted, Rich And Proud
Stay Tainted
Become Irretrievably Poor
And
Their Pride 
Is 
Humbled Unto Destruction
Along With Their Instigator, Satan
Who Encouraged Them
The Lord Of Life
The Truth For All Ages
The King Of Love
The Light Of Life
To Egregiously Denigrate, Defy And Deny
BecauseOf Their Engrossing Love Of 
The Comfortable Lie!

Think About It ...

Two Lives
Two Thoughts
Two Characters
Two Masters
Two Distinctly Different Ways Of Life
One Judgment
Two Vastly Different Outcomes
Because
One Chooses 
By Belief, Faith 
And 
Practiced Obedience 
To Forever Live

And

The Other Chooses 
By Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Practiced Disobedience 
To Forever Die!

Brethren, Beloved

Upon Whom For Comfort Do You Rely!?!
Unto Whom In Your Need Do You Cry!?!
Do You Pay Homage 
To The Master Of The Winds And The Waves
OrDo You Cavort With The Master Of Disaster!?!

Are You Heeding The Broad Call To Self
Or
Will You Join Me
And
Heed The Narrow Call To Salvation
And
In Your Own Life
Reverse The Cause Of Man's Fall!?!

You Know The Whole Of The Story!
You Know Who It Is That Sacrificially Loves You!
You, Alone, Must Make For Everlasting Life 
The Decision
Because
Neither The Lord Christ
Nor The Damned Devil
Can Force Their Will Upon You!

FYI:
At The End Of The Conflict
Only The Tried Tested 
And 
True Saints Of Almighty God And Christ
Will Be Standing Tall
Glorified
Incorruptible
Immortalized!



PRAYER:

Father,
I Come To You
Because I Believe That
You Are The God Holy!
I See My Need For The Savior
So Help Me, Please
- As An Obedient Sheep -
At His Hand To Feed!

Lord,
I Repent Of My Known Sin!
Please Help Me Not To Sin Again!
Help Me Not To Turn Again To Fables
And
Bless Me To Walk As The Wise
And
Not Become A Part Of Satan's Stable!

Father,
I Pray For My Brethren
Those Near And Those Far
Those Who Are Among The Called-Out
Those Who Are Seeking
No More To Be Among
The Itchy-Earred Walk-Abouts!
Please Bless Them To Take Hold Of
The Holy Hand
That Is Reaching Out To Them
And
Bless Them To Ever Hear The Still Voice Of
The Loving Heart
Who, To Us
Desires To Draw Near!
Help Us To Respond With Godly Fear!

Please Grant Unto Us Daily Grace
Daily Faith
Strength For Our Journeying
And
Courage For The Way We Must Walk
And
Please Provide For Us
All That You Have Promised
For
We Love You
And
We Worship
And
It Is Our Desire To Bless You
Who Always Blesses Us
Without Our Having To Ask!

Please, Father
Remember Those Who Mourn
Those Who Anticipate A Mourning
The Childless
The Motherless And The Fatherless
The Poor And The Downtrodden
The Lost And The Lonely
The Demon-Possessed
The Demon-Oppressed
And
Those Who Have No Safe Place To Call Home
- Physically Or Spiritually -
And
Have Mercy On Those Who Do Not Yet Know
That The Lord Jesus Christ
- The Creator God
The Savior, The Redeemer
The Forever Friend -
For Their Personal, Public And Private Sin
Did Completely Atone!

Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions, Father
For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
The Holy Jesus
Your Beloved And Only Begotten Son
Our Returning King!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN.
