VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wait On The Lord By His Word!








Neither Nobody 
Nor His Brother, Sister, Father, Friend
Want To Wait On Anybody For Anything 
Because 
Waiting Is For Saps, Stooges
The Unconnected
And 
The Financially Challenged! 

Okaaay! 

Beloved, 

Our Text Starts With A "But" 
Which Tells Us Clearly That 
Those Who Do Not Wait Upon The Lord
Shall Not Have Their Strength Renewed
Shall Not Acquire Eagle's Wings
Shall Not Be Able To Run 
Because 
They Will Be Weary
And 
Will Not Be Able To Walk 
Because 
They Are Fainting From Weakness! 

How Very Interesting! 

Dear Ones, 

Paying Someone To Do Your Waiting For You 
Does Not Hold Water 
In The Economy Of Almighty God! 

Waiting On The Lord Generates Patience
Enhances Endurance
And 
Solidifies Faith Which We, Each, Shall Surely Need 
If 
We Are To Enter ... By Right
The Eternal City Of The Great God 
Who Provides For His People 
Before 
The Need Is Expressed Or Experienced! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Remember That Waiting On The Lord 
Is 
Preparation 
Which Is The Key To Every Victory 
Worth Claiming And Celebrating! 

Be Wise 
And 
Wait On The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Wait On The Lord Jesus Christ
And 
Watch For His Coming! 

Watch For The Lord's Coming
And 
Work With Him For The Salvation Of Others! 

And

Please Work With The Lord Now 
Because 
Night Is Coming When No Man
Be They Connected
Financially Stable
Or Cash-Poor 
Can Drive A Stroke To Save His Own Life
Or The Life Of Another! 

Dare, Beloved, To Wait On Your Sure Blessings: 
Wait On Jesus Christ The Lord ... Yourself! 

Peace!


Thought For The Week Ahead:

Jesus Christ
Is
Our Only Savior
And
His Gift To Us
Of
His Sure Salvation 
Is 
Free
But
Will Only Benefit Those
Who Desire To Gain
The Victory Over Sin
By Obediently Travelling
The Way Of The Cross
With
Faithful Endurance
Via
The Path Of Purity! 







Love For The Lord
Starts And Finishes With Obedience
To His Holy Word
And
Walking In Accord With His Sovereign Will!

KNOWING JESUS CHRIST: We Can't Outlive Almighty God's Goodness!



PSALMS 18:2 KJV "The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my ...



We Are Going To Talk About Our Lord
And
We Are Going To Keep Talking About Him
Until We All Understand Who He Is
What He Does
What He Is Doing
And
Will Be Doing For Each And Every One Of Us ... Personally
If
We Are Willing To Obey And Cooperate With Him!

Today We Are Review Psalm 18 Verse 2
And
We Are Going To Take Time To Understand!
We All Can Read
But
True Understanding For Everyone Of Us
Can Be A Mite Sketchy At Times
So By God's Great Grace
And
The Holy Spirit's Guidance
We Are Going To Unpack This Great Verse Of Scripture!

Always Pray For Illumination
And
The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
And
Dare To Be Quiet
And
Shut Out The World's Opinions
And
Listen To The Still Small Voice Of God!

Simply Put, 
The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Firm Foundation
Our Impregnable Shield
Our Unassailable Champion
Our Bed, Bath, And Beyond
Our Plate, Cup, Knife
Fork And Spoon ... Not That Abomination Called A Spork
Our Big-Picture Station
Our Storehouse Of Plenty Good Food 
For Our Body, Our Beliefs And Our Laborings
And 
Our Forever Home 
Opened To Accept Whosoever Will 
From Wheresoever You May Come! 

Our Lord Is A Known Quantity
Always The Same
Not Given To Fickleness
Unchanging ... Unchangeable
Our Faithful Pastor
Our Perfect Parent
And
Our Very Much Needed Great Physician! 

Beloved, 

There Aren't, Nor Ever Will Be, Any Immortal Sinners
And
We Will Never Live Long Enough 
- Be It In Time Or In Eternity - 
To Find Out All That Jesus Christ Is Doing
Has Done
And 
Will Do For Us Personally! 

Our Lord Christ 
Is 
The Big God Filling The Immensity Of Eternity
And
He Is Real And Righteous 
An
Returning For Those Who Choose Him 
As Their Sun, Moon And Stars
Hope, Help And Sure Salvation! 

Please Be Reminded, Beloved, That
We Can Do All Things Through Christ 
Because 
He Is The One, The God, Who Strengthens Us! 
There Is No Us Without Him!

Dare To Know ...
Dare To Believe ...
Dare To Accept ...
Dare To Repeat ...
Dare To Live In The Knowledge That ...

We Are Everything To Our God 
And 
When He Is Everything To Us 
We Are The Majority Against The Wily Foe! 

We Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made 
In The Image Of Almighty God: 
Studiously Lift Up The Lord Always
And 
Without Fail
Be Infinitely, Eternally, Blessed! 

May His Perfect Peace Be Ours Today ...!

... And Forever!

AMEN!!!

If You Are Always Asking God
For Things
Your Mouth Is Always Open
And
You Cannot Hear
What He Is Saying To You
To Bless You:
Choose To Be Quiet At Times!!!

**--**--**--**--**

Be Still ...
And Know ...
That
He Is Almighty God Glorious!

THE LORD SAID WAIT: Doin' Me Own T'ing!?!

Instant Gratification
Is
One Of Satan's Choicest Weapons!


When I Was Guessing At The Answers
I Made A Lot Of Mistakes
Saved A Boat-Load Of Time 
And
My Personal Performance 
Was 50+% Better Than My Brethren!

When I Learned The Rules
And 
Patiently Followed The Rules
I Spent A Lot Of Time Doing
And
I Got The Answers Right
But
I Was ... Consistently
Only Six Percent Better Than My Compatriots!

I Am Getting Two Answers
Which Are Tickling My Mind:

Is This How The Remnant Is Going To Be Made Up!?!
Is This How The Could-Be Saved Will Be Lost!?!

Time For A Think ...

Being Willing To Make Mistakes
To Save Non-RenewableTime
To Just Be Better Than Half The Population
Is 
A Losing Proposition To My Finite Mind
And
Following The Rules
And
Expending Time To Learn ... And Grow
Only To Be Better Than Less Than 
Six Percent Of The Population
Tells Me ... Of A Surety
That For Soul Salvation
I Really Need A Surety For Security!
Isn't Our Striving To Be For Perfection!?!

Jesus Christ Paid It All!
He Took My Pain ... Yours, Too
My Sorrow ... Yours, Likewise
To Give Unto Us His Blessing
In The Land Of No Time
Where No One Is Unkind
And
The God Is Eternal
Living
Holy And Divine!

To Ignore This Level Of Reasoning
Would Be Asinine!

Think Again ...

In The Situation Given
We Are At Peril 
So
We Need Our Savior, The Lord
Who Has Written His Law
Made Himself The Sacrifice
The Surety
The Security
And
Is The King
The Judge
The Lord, Our God
And
Master Of Everything
Who, Alone, Can Cause Us
To Be Free Of Sin
And
The Cruel Clutches Of Satan 
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Raging Lion
The Known God-Fraud!

Jehovah, Hallelujah ...

The Lord Provides!
The Lord Protects!
He Is Prophet, High Priest And Conquering King! 
He Is The Law Giver
And 
The Sin-Forgiver!
He Is Our Only Help
Our Guardian
And
Our Guide!
He Gives Good Gifts To All Living
But
To His Obedient People
He Does His Choicest Gifts Provide!

The Lord Bids Us Come: We Will Not Be Denied!
We Will Be Tried
But
His Hand Of Salvation
To Our Earnest Effort Is Tied:
He Gives 
But
We Must Expend Effort To Accept
By Saying:

Yes, Lord!
I Accept!
I Am Willing To Be Healed
And
Cleansed!
Use Me, Lord!
I Am Willing To Work!
Guide Me, Lord!
I Am Willing To Walk!
Help Me So That My Service To
And
For You
Is Not A Whole Lot Of Long Talk!


The Lesson That Must Be Learned ...







Waiting 
Does Not Sit Well With Us Selfish Beings 
Who Thrive On Instant Gratification!

Being Courageous When Our Mortal Eyes 
Can Only See Present Defeat 
Is 
Practically Impossible
And
Being Strong 
When Your Heart Is Trembling In Ungodly Fear 
- Because You Messed Up By Previously Doing "It" Your Way -
Isn't Going To Happen! 

Buuut ... 

When The God Of Grace
Your Father In Heaven, Says:

"Be Not Dismayed!
Trust Me!
I Am Here
And
I Will Bless And Keep You 
Because
You Are The Apple Of My Eye!" 

We Can Believe Him 
Because 
He Loves Us 
And 
He Is Faithful! 
He Can't Make Mistakes!

We Can Take The Lord Jesus Christ
At His Living, Holy, Word 
Because 
He Is Able To Do All That He Says He Will Do! 
His Mission To Calvary Was A Glorious Success:
It Caused Him Agony 
And 
Shed His Innocent Blood
And
Purchased For Us Eternal
In The Realms Of The Blessed In Heaven Above!

Praise The Lord ...

We Serve The All-Knowing
All-Seeing
Ever-Present
All-Feeling
Eternal God: He Knows The Answers! 
Let Us Wholly ... With Willing Obedience
And
Enduring Faith
Solely Lean On Him 
And 
Unwaveringly Trust Him 
So That We Will Be Eternally Blessed!
Our God, Holy, Cannot Lie!


Human Wisdom 
Is
Foolishness To Almighty God
And
Willfully Walking Wayward
Is
The Corrupt Way Of Fools
Those Who Use The Lord's Free Air
And
Deny His Love
Repulse His Presence
And
Reject The Knowledge That 
For Fallen Man
He Does Sacrificially Care!!

**--**--**--**

The Way Of The Lord
Is
Perfect!
