VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Time And Chance!







Time Is A Precious Commodity 
And
A Non-Renewable Resource! 
It Flows In One Direction 
And 
Is Like A Water Course! 

Time, Just Like Water, Finds Its Own Level: 
The Lay Of The Land Determines The Waters' Flow 
And
The Thoughts Of Our Minds Determine, Good Or Bad
How We Spend The Limited Funds 
On Our Debit Card Called Time! 

Chance Aka Opportunity
Is 
A Thing, Once Missed, Which Can Never Be Recaptured! 
Chance Is Like A Beautiful Sunset
Or A Snowflake
Neither Of Which Is Set To Be Repeated! 

Beautiful Sunsets Will Be Seen Again 
And 
Snow-Flakes Will Fall Again
But 
They Will Never Be Those Experienced 
On The Day Called Yesterday! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Has Given To Each Of Us 
A Winding-Down Clock With Time Marked Off 
In Increments Called Chance ... Opportunity
To Become As He Is
By Doing Good
Living With Love
Serving Others With Caring
And 
Walking Wisely According To The Will Of God 
So That When The Clock Silently Alarms 
And
Forever Stops
That The Book Of The Deeds Of Your Lived Life 
Will Bear The Eternal Mark: 


"Sealed And Saved! 
Well Done!" 

Please Don't Waste Time 
And 
Lose Your Chances To Be Blessed 
By Blessing Someone 
In Jesus Christ's Dear Name Today 
And
Every Day! 

Peace!

Time Is Made For Change + PRAYER: Lead Me Gently, Father!



Our Lives Are Authored By The Eternal God!
We Are Not "Accidents"
As Claims The God-Fraud
So Do Not Be Contemptuous
Of The Life That The Lord God Has Given To You:
Be Grateful For Your Blessing
Because
The King Of Love
Personally Loves 
And 
Personally Blesses You!

You Are Made In The Image Of Almighty God!
You Are No Experiment!
Neither Are You A Toy For His "Joy!"
You Are Well-Loved, Beloved!
You Are Wanted!
You Are Blessed!
The Lord God Your Creator
Took Your Place On Calvary!
Be A Dear: You're A Vessel Made For Honor
So Choose To Deny Sin
And
Known Sin Repent And Confess
Be To Our Savior
A Spiritual Success!

The God Who Made You Is Infinite!
Your Human Potential Is Finite
But
When You Walk With The Lord  
Your Potential Becomes Infinite:
He Calls You To Come Home!
Leave Off Sinning!
Have Faith In Him
Trust And Obey
And
Walk In His Light Today
And
You Shall See Heavenly Light ... In Peace
When Comes The Great And Awful Day!

When You Walk With the Lord
You Are Setting Yourself Up
To Have Durability
To Last For Eternity
So Choose You This Day
With Disobedient Goats Not To Roam
And
Decide ... With Finality
To Walk Under The Banner Of Grace
So That You Do Not Become A Cast-Off
Damned-For-All-Eternity Shut-Out Disgrace!

You Are Unique!
A Rarity!
Desired!
Desirable!

Despite Your Present Wear And Tear
Jesus Christ The King Died
To Return You To The Original Condition
So Do Not Be Dismayed:
Your Bill For Known And Personal Sin 
Has ... In Totality
Been Paid!

Look Up!
Walk On!
Do Not Permit Yourself To Get Conned
Because
Jesus Christ Would Have Died To Save You
Even If You Were On Earth
The Only One!

Pay Close Attention ...

Controlled Temper ... Measured Words
Uncontrolled Temper ... Hasty Words
Commandment Keepers
Commandment Breakers
And
Presumptuously, Willful, Sinners
All Have One Probation
Which Is Finished When Grace And Mercy
Descend ... 
From The Throne 
Ceasing ... Their Interceding
And
Justice: Strict Justice
Speaks ... 
With Finality
The Eternal Estate Of Every Human!

The Final Command ...

The Righteous Shall Be Righteous ... Still!
The Filthy Shall Be Filthy ... Still!
The Holy Shall Be Holy ... Still!
All Destinies Are Fixed!
Final!

Forever!
The Time For Change Is Finished!


Look In
Look Out
Look Up ...

How Do YOU Plan To Stand!?!
Will You Choose To Walk With The Begotten Son Of God
The Willing Son Of Man!?!
Will You Deny Your Self Now
So That In The Day Of Reckoning
You Shall Be Amongst Those
Who Shall Ride The Train To Glory
That Is Comprised Of Angels Making The Cloud!?!



PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord
For Your Blessings On Me!

Father,
I Love You
And
I Thank You For My Life
And
For The Precious Gift Of Time!

Thank You For The Time
To Make Wrong Things Right
So That By The Holy Spirit's Guidance
I May Your Holy Heart Bless And Delight!
Please Lead Me
And
Guide Me Gently Home
For It Is In In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That I Humbly Pray
And
Importunately Plead!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: My Father Is God Almighty!






My Mother Is Not Called Nature!
My Father Is Not Called Time!
My Father Lives In Heaven, Above
And
He Is The Lord God Almighty
Blessing, Kind
Holy, Divine!

I Do Not Travel On Broadway!
Through Life, I Do Not Take Short Cuts!
By Faith, I Follow The Master
And
Through Obedience
I Do Not Gainsay His Word
By Indulging In What-If's, Maybe's And But's!

By Almighty God's Grace
I Am Pledged Not To Follow The Multitude
To Do Evil
And
Never Against My God To Confederate
Because
The Lord Is My Shepherd ... He Leads
And
By His Guidance
I Intend, By Right
To Walk Through The Assigned Pearl Gate!

I'm A Pilgrim!
I'm A Stranger!
This Earth Is Not My Home!
I'm Treading The Boards Here Of
 The Straight And Narrow Way
On My Way To My True And Heavenly Home
Which Cannot By Created Beings Be Cloned!

As I Walk With Firm And Steady Gait
On The Road To Beulah Land
I Am Doing All The Good I Can
To Bless My Fellow Man!

I Will Not Begrudge A Fellow A Morsel
Nor Ever A Cup Of Water Clean
Because 
He Who Is My Lord, God, Judge 

And 
Coming-For-Me King
Is 

Recording For All Posterity
All My Acts ... Good And Bad!
Everything!

I Believe The Word Of My God And My King!
I Believe His Promises
And
His Praises I Joyfully Sing!

I Trust Him In His Care For Me
Even As I See He Cares For Others
And
I Will To Go Wherever He Leads
For He Is The Almighty
The One True God ... Never False
Always Giving, Truly Blessing!
Like Him, There Is No Other!

The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
Is 
My Comfort!
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 
My Savior, My Redeemer, My Friend
My Hope Until Life Ends!
The Holy Angels Are My Influencers For Good
And My Constant Protection
And
With My Cooperation With Their Ready Aid
Satan, By Me, Is Withstood!

The Word Of My God
Is
My Strong Tower!
I Run To It And I Am Saved!
I Rest Upon It: It Is My Daily Food
And
I Can Tell You Truly, Friend
For The Faithful
The News Is, Indeed, And Most Assuredly, Good!

Wait, Work And Watch!
Believe And Receive!
Trust And Obey The Word Of The Living God
The Rock Of Ages
And
You Will Never Be Among
The Ones Called ... Deceived!

Take The Daily Grace!
Bathe In Free Mercy!
Confess And Repent Of Known Sin!
Accept Available Salvation!

Do Not Despise Almighty God's Ready Forgiveness!
Your Life 

Is 
In His Hand!
He Is The God Of All Creation!
Keep The Line Of Communication Open!
Remember That You Are A Fallen Human
And
It Is He, Alone
That Can Raise You Up By His Holy Hand!


Keep A Song In Your Heart
And
Be Constant, Instant, In Prayer!
Let This Be Your Pleasure
And 
Your Forever Treasure!

LIFE IN TIME: From Time ... To Eternity

My time
Tea Time

On your time
By this time

In Time
High Time
Time to go
Time to say
Goodbye

High time
Low life

God's time
New life

Holy time
Quitting time

Me time
To live
time to die
to plant
to pluck up what was planted
Time to kill
Time to help
Time to heal
Time on target

Life Time
Crying Time

Time flies ... when you are having fun
Time slows ... when you're having none

What do you know?
All in all
You need to know
In the Beginning - Alpha knows
At the End - Omega shows
No mystery
God is The Lord
End of The Story
Home to His Glory!

Life is a clock you cannot stop
Your clock will stop - how when you don't know
Appointed Time - your shop doth close
Then you will wear open-backed travel clothes
But
Having died with Love For Jesus because of Grace
Mercy
Faith
You will Wake Up on The Great Day
Glorified
To Rise Up ... Immortalized
To Meet Him In The Air
Along with The Saints of All Times
To Take Up For Eternity
In His Presence
Your Reserved Place!

Alone Time
Spent
With The Lord Jesus
Will Never End In Disgrace!

Psalm 119:165




True Peace Is Married To Grace O'God!
Together
- When Invited -
They Live In The Heart Of Man
And
By So Doing
They Drive Out Evil Passions
Which Are Notorious For Causing
Dissention And ...!

... Strife!?!

Indeed!
Dissention And Strife
Are Nothing But Bad Seed
And
As You Must Well Know
You Cannot
You Will Not
Get A Good Crop
A Good Harvest
From Bad Seed!

I Am Remembering Computer Class!
It Was Hammered Into Our Heads:
GIGO
Aka Garbage In, Garbage Out!!

That, Brethren
Should Be The Prime Warning For 
The Sojourning Christian!
You Are What You Eat!
What You Eat Is What You Speak!

... Out Of The Treasure Of The Heart
The Mouth Speaks ...!

... Some Of Your Mouths Need To Washed Out
Because You Are Just Not Right!
How Do You Say 

"Jesus Is The Joy Of Living!"

And
Then Proceed To Blister Your Brethren
Over A Parking Space
A Seat At The Head Table For Dinner
A Position In Church Office!?!

Brethren,
I Ask Us All To Consider This:

Is Tomorrow Promised To You, Specifically
Just Because You Liberally "Throw About" 
The Only Good Name 
To Impress Onlookers And Followers!?!

If The Lord Were To Demand Your Soul
- And I Include Myself -
Right Now
Would You
Would I
On The Day Of The Appearing
See The King In Peace!?!

Does Your Present Character 
Stand Up Under The Magnifying Glass Of 
Him Who Judges All Flesh!?!

Is The Immutable
That Is
The Unchangeable Law Of God
Your Guide To Get You Through This Life
While Preparing You For
The World To Come!?!

Does Jesus Christ Own You!?!
Do You Own Jesus Christ As Your Own!?!

Brethren, Beloved
I Challenge Us All
To Stop Picking Apart The Bible 
Looking For Those Things With Which We Agree
And 
The "Good Bits" That Entertain Us
And
The Bits Which We Believe
Give Us The Right To Say:

"Sih Meh Hey!
I Ain't So Bad After All!"

Stop Living Life To Be Pleasured And Satisfied!
Stop Eating To Be Made Drunk!
Stop Using Will And Choice To Walk Wildly
Live Wastefully
And
Ultimately Die The Death Of The Soul Lonely
And
Condemned And ...!

... Forever Lost!

This Life Is Not About Us Being Made Rich And Fat!
Being Prosperously Putrid In The Sight Of God
Is Not What We Are Called To Become!

We Are Called ...

... To Be Servants Of The Living God
Ready To Do His Bidding
Willing To Be Used ...!

... And Don't Forget That
We Are To Use Our Time
To Get Clean And Right With Almighty God
As We Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth
To Do A Good Work In Us!

The Promise Is Given ...




Trust God: He Cares!
Bless God: He Gives!
Love God: For Your Soul He Dearly Paid!
Have Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord
For, As It Is Written
Trials And Tests May Come





And

It Must Be Understood And Accepted That


Brethren,

Take Stock Of Yourselves!
Time Is Short
But
Eternity Lasts Forever!
The Decision To Live In Time
Or
Prosper In Eternity 
Remains Solely Yours!
Choose Wisely!

AMEN!!!

Lightning Response: Text Message vs. Prayer!

I Wrote The Text Message!
I Hit The Send Arrow
AND
Instantly
I Saw ...

Sending
Sent
Delivered
Read

AND

Just As Fast
The Response Came Back
AND
I Thought ... Lovingly
Of My Heavenly Father
AND
My Offering To Him Of
My Faithful Prayers!

The Difference Between
The Text Message
AND
My Prayer To My Father
Is As the Difference Between
Pouring Cold Molasses
AND
Seeing A Raging Flood!

Before I Say My Prayer
My Father Already Knows My Need
AND
Before I Hit The Button Called "AMEN!"
The Answer Was Already There
Before I Born
From The God Who Inhabits Eternity
Who Knows The End From The Beginning
Who Sees All
Who Knows All
Who Is In All
Who Provides For All
Who Sustains All
Who Is The Judge Of All
AND
The King Of Many!

In My Heart
There Rings A Melody
Jesus Is My All And All

And

Because He Died To Save Me
I Shall Ever
On His Sweet Name Call!


Jesus Is My Answer
My Beginning
My End
My Hope
My Assurance
My Victory Over Sin!

And ...

Though I May Fail Him
He Will Never Fail Me

So ...

Dear Father, 
Loving Father, 
I Am Wholly Yours! 
Please Make My Heart
In This Moment
This Very Hour
This Day
Your Holy Sanctuary

As I Await Your Return
While Time May Seem To Tarry!
I Love You
And
In Jesus' Name, I Plead!  
AMEN.

Take Time To Make Time ...! + PRAYER: Father, I Willingly Submit!

What Time Is It?
Who Made The Clock?
What Time Is It?
Who Is Guarding The Flock?

What Time Is It?
Who Is In The Field?
What Time Is It?
What Will The Harvest Yield?

What Time Is It?
Who Is Rocking The Boat?
What Time Is It?
Will Your Life Raft Float?

Time Is Of The Essence!
Jesus Christ IS On The Way!
Time Is Of The Essence! 
The End Could Be This Very Day!

Don't Put Off Until Tomorrow
That Which Can Be Done Today!
Time Waits For No Man
ANDNo Man Can Turn Time
To Run His Way!

Take Time To Know Him
Who Made Time For Man!
Take Time To Know Him
Who
Is Preparing A Place In The Father's House
For The Faithful Few
Who Trust In the Son Of Man!

Brethren,
Make Time
For The Timeless One
Who Sacrificially Loves
Both Me And You!

PRAYER:

Father,
My Life And My Time
Are In Your Hand!
I Willingly Submit To Your Leading
So, Please,
In The Name Of Christ Jesus
Rescue And Save Me!
AMEN.

The One Who Sets Man's Time Clock

The One Who Exists Outside Time

To Rescue Man
From
The Results Of The Fall!

And
Live ... Eternally!
