VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Tempting Almighty God!?!

Age Should Make One Cautious!
Adversity Should Make One Wise!
Appetite Should Make One Finicky
And
Advice Sought Should Take One To 

The Lord Holy, Faithful, Just, Merciful, Divine

And

Not To The Wily One, Satan

The Purveyor Of Known Damnable Lies!

Man Should Not Tempt The Living God
By Indulging The Sin Of Presumption!
You Must Not Recklessly Seek Sinful Pleasure
And
"Tell" The Lord That He Has To Save You
Because
You Are His Peculiar Treasure!

Would You Please Expand On This Presumptuous Business
As I Can't Really Say That

I Fully Understand What You Mean!?!

Very Well!

Are You A Repentant Sinner
Redeemed By The Blood Of The Innocent Lamb Willing
The Lord Jesus Christ!?!

I Sure Am ... And Proud To Be So Called!

Would You Go Boldly Whore-Mongering
- Calling It Faithful Witnessing To Vile Sinners -
And
Tell Everybody That The Lord Will Protect You
And
Then Demand That The Lord Protect You From Disease
Even As You Indulge Your Unchained Fleshly Lusts!?!

Of Course Not!
That Would Be Foolish!

That Would Also Be Quite Presumptuous On Your Part!

Oh, Dear!

Oh, Yeah!

So, What Would You Say To The Tight Rope Walker
Over Some Gorge, Even The Grand Canyon
Who, Praying Fervently, Goes Higher And Walks Longer
Because He Believes That Almighty God's Got His Back!?!

I Would Very Firmly Say: 

Stop What You're Doing!

But, Why!?!

If God Wanted Man To Walk Through The Air
He Would Have Given Man Wings ...!

... It's His Work ...!

... Gratifying The Lusts Of Carnal Men 
Is Not Work That Blesses ...!

... It's Just Gratifying Personal Pride With The Praise 
You Receive For Risking Your Life ... And Surviving!

Tight Rope Walking Is An Issue Of Gross Presumption
Unchained Idolatry
And
Unmitigated Pride
And
No Presumptuous, Prideful, Idolatrous Person
Shall In The Living Kingdom Reside!

The Only "Tight" Rope We Should Be Walking
Is
The One Swinging Between Sin And Salvation
And
Under Which Are The Everlasting Arms
Available Always To Carry Those Who Choose ... Willingly
To Make The Arduous, Trying, Thrilling, Crossing!

To Him Who Knoweth To Do Good
And 
Doeth It Not
It. Is. Sin!

This Is Like Those Persons Who Read

Mark 16:18 King James Version (KJV)

And 
They Go ... For Gross And Grandly Gratuitous Display

And 
Maliciously Take Up Venomous Snakes
In A Vain Attempt To "Prove" Scripture
While Proudly "Prophesying" That 

The Living Lord Will Protect Me!

This Is Faithless Lying!
This Is Base Presumption

And

This Is Bold Sin
And
Many Have Perished For Their Conceit
Their Deceit!

I Hear You! 

I Agree!

Brethren,

We Are Each Given A Work
To Do For The Lord
To Bless The Kingdom Of Light
And
Any Work That Is Not For Almighty God's Glory
Cannot Ever Be For Your Best Good!

We Are Called 
To Live By Jesus Christ's Faith That Works By Love

And
Not In Carnal, Lying Man's, Greedy-For-Gain
Blind Eyesight!

The Commission Is Simple ...

Go Where The Lord Sends You!

Do What He Says!

Live For The Savior
And

Do Not Indulge Sinful Pride 

Or Wallow In Pride's Hollow, Worldly, Display!

Be Ye Warned ...

What Has Not Missed You

Has Not Yet Passed You By

So Do Not Tempt "Fate"

Tweak Murphy

Yank The Big Dog's Chain

Nor Play Cutesy With The Dragon

That Fallen Angel Profane! 

All That Remains Of A Life Of Presumption

Is 
The Character Stained

The Life Lost

And

Heaven Not Gained! 

Brethren, 

Keep Yourself Ever Near To Jesus Christ's Cross
Because
Under Its Shadow You Will Never Suffer Loss!
Sin Is Dross Of Which The Soul Must Be Rid
So Do Good And Love Truth
And
Put Over The Sin Of Presumption
The Prayer For Victory In Jesus Lid!

On The Strait And Narrow Way
No One Faithful, Obedient, Enduring
Shall With Christ's Leading
Ever, Ever, Skid!
Hold Tight And Regularly Use Your Lid!

AMEN!!!

. 

I Will Not Wait: I Will WAIT!

I Will Not Wait!

You Are Not Serious!
The Bible Says That Are To Wait Upon The Lord!
How Are You Reading The Scriptures!?!

May A Bit More Carefully Than You Are Presently!

What Do You Mean!?!

Just Like Here, Hair, And Hear Sound Alike 

And Mean Different Things
Wait Has Different Meanings!

Okay! I'm Listening!

What Does "Wait For Me!" Mean To You Guys!?!

It Means That I Am Stay Where I Am 

Until You Come To Join Me!

What Does "Wait On Me!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That I Should Not Do Anything 

Until You Give The Go Ahead!

I Say It Means That I Should Serve You!

What Does "They Are Wait Staff!" Mean To You!?!

It Means That "They" Are 

Duly Commissioned Servants!

Okay!
Now I Will Tell You What I Meant
When I Said I Will Not "Wait!"

I Will Not Wait Until There Is Trouble
To Seek The Lord In Prayer!
I Will Not Wait Until Sorrow Comes
To Hurry To The Lord's Side!
I Will Not Wait Until I Am Hungry
To Ask The Lord For My Day's Food
And
I Shall Most Assuredly Not Wait
Until The Storm Of Wind Appears
To Seek Shelter Under The Umbrella Of 

The Living God's Love!

There Is A Time And Place For Everything
And
Time And Chance Happens To Every Man
And
We Need To Understand
What The Word Means When It Says

 

What That Text Is Saying ... Simply
Is
They That Serve
Obey
Trust
Expect Something Of And From The Lord
In Consequence Of Faith ... Faithfully
Have The Promise Of The Blessed Life Now

And

The  Glorified Life
Heaven At The Last Trumpet:
Immortality
Incorruptibility
They Shall Have Wings
They Shall Fly
They Shall Live With Almighty God!

You Actually Got All Of That Out Of The Word Wait!?!

If He Got All That From Wait
I Can Imagine What Will Come Of Trust!

Ahhh, Trust!
A Beautiful Word That Says I'm

Taking Rest Under the Savior's Tent!

Whoa!! I Like That!

You Should!

Wait Is In Trust!
Trust Is In Wait!
Waiting And Trusting In Our God Holy
Will Not See One Repentant Sinner
Enduring Old Satan's Fate!

Trust ... Give Me A Loan
Trust ... I Believe The Word
Trust ... I Believe Who Gives The Word
Trust ... Security
Trust ... Dependency

Trust Is All About Confidence!

The Lord Asks Us To Give Him Our Faith
Our Trust
Our Hope
And
Wait Upon Him To Do For Us
All That He Has Promised!

We Are To Surrender Self
Suspend, Discard, Destroy Doubt
Live In Hope
And
Believe That He Is True ...!

... He Says That He Is The Truth!

He Says He Is The Word!

He Also Says That He Is The Way
The Light
The Life
The Good Shepherd
The Door
The Savior!

He Says He Is Our Peace!

He Says We Find Our Rest In Him!

Brethren, Since Jesus Christ Is All Things
To Every Man
In Every Place
At Every Time
What Do You Say ... Based On The Living Word
Do WE Wait
Do We WAIT
DO WE WAIT
On The Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!?!

I Will Wait On The Son Of God
While I Wait For The Redeemer Of Man To Come!

I Will Not Wait To Pray And To Plead
While I Wait For Direction
From Him Who Does My Body And My Soul Feed!

I Will Wait In Hope
Trusting Him Through Trials!

I Will Not Wait In Fear Uttering Platitudes
And Spewing Unwarranted Denials!

I Will Wait And Watch And Work!
I Will Not Wander Away! 

I Will Wait In Obedience
On The Wonderful Counsellor
The Mighty God
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Me His Peace
Which Passes Human Understanding
And
I Shall Rest Under His Wings
Until He Gives Me Wings Of My Own
Strong Enough To Bear Me Up
As I Follow Him In That Day
Wheresoever He Goes!

Brethren,

Wait Does Not Mean Do Nothing!
Wait Has Weight

And

Our Wait Requires That We Work!

Waiting On The Lord Is A Worthy Commission

So

I Will Wait! 

I Will Also 

Work As I'm Taught

By Him!

And

I Will Also

 Watch As I Trust 

In Him!

 

COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION : Go To The Ants!

Ski-Per-Di
Met
Ants
AND
It Is Love
No Matter The Sight!

Holding Them Together Is
One Little
Called Grain
AND
Their Commitment
To Moving The Little Grain
Makes Feats Of Impossible Engineering
All Over
To Be Exclaimed!

They Are A Wonder To Behold!
Their Works Cannot Be
Begged
Bought
Bartered
Nor Sold
BUT
They Can Be Destroyed
BUT
Not By Just Any Old Puff Of Wind
For
The Builders Are Always
In The Mode Called
Preparing!

Who Or What Is That
Skiperdi Thingy With The Ants?!
I've Not Have Heard That Name Before!

Ski-Per-Di
Is A Composite Word
Of The Genus Adjective!
Ski - Skillful
Per - Persistent
Di - Diligent

I Like That Play!
It Must Be Interesting Inside Your Mind!

Hmm .... Yes!
I Like Playing With Words!

Moving Along ...

Man Can Learn A Lot
From Ants
Among Whom
Won't Be Found
That Big Word 
CAN'T!

Can't Ain't An Ant

For He Is Wearing Purple Pants

And

Is Sporting An Apostrophe

Like A Bouffant

And

Is Always Acting Indignant!

Ants Are Industrious
With Nary A Boss
AND
They Never
- For Even A Moment -
Think
That Hope Is Lost
When Big Feet Stamp
When Big Rain Falls
When Wild Wind
Winding
Wailing
Writes
Of What Will Be Wasted
Lost In A Toss!

Ants Trust In God's Providence
AND
Ants Prepare
Gathering
Building
Storing
AND
All That
Without Hesitancy
Or Fear!

Ants Have Lessons
For Sluggards
Who Would Do Well To Observe
That Ants Get
When The Getting Is Good
And Yet ...
They Carry No Purse!

Consider The Ants' Ways
AND
Be Wise
AND
Let Not The Thought Of Labor
Make You Use Laziness For A Disguise!

Labor Is Not Dirt
That Can Fall Upon You
AND
You Kill
So ...
Pick A Position
AND
Lavishly Labor On
AND
You Will Shelter Your Head
AND
A Hungering Belly Soon Fill!

Let Not Your Size Determine Your Ability!
Be Wise Unto Salvation
AND
Jesus Christ
As Your Personal Welcoming King
- Not Your Judge -
You Will 
Undoubtedly 
Soon See!

Let No Man Tell You

That Honest Labor Is A Load

For

If You Look Closely

You Will See That

Vile Satan

Is Using That Man ... As A Goad!

Well ... Work: A Servant Unto God

A Christian is a Servant

A Servant unto God

His Task is to Seek After - and Do - The Will of The Master

And not Butt About Seeking Fleeting Reward!

Serving is not given unto Slacking

Serving is not Slaving, My Friend

Serving is a Blessed Duty

Provisioned with Care and Great Love from The Eternal Friend!

Our Duty is Not That which is Man-made

Which speaks of a Grudging Display

Our Duty is such as behooves One

Constant and instant in Prayer.

Let us not seek to Shirk Duty

Hoping Someone Else will do The Work

Our Task is Appointed -  Accept It!

Get Up Now, and let us Get To Our Work!

Think not of Rewards and Accolades

Think Honorable Service unto Rest

For The Day is Soon Coming

When All God's Faithful Servants

Will Receive The Reward of The Home of The Blessed!

Don't be an Unfaithful Servant

Unprofitable

Unthankful

Lazy

Given unto Greed

For there is None who Work for King Jesus

Whom he does not Daily Feed!

Seek No Reward at This Juncture

Seek not Earthly Accolades

Seek not Treasure in Earthen Vessels

Which Grow Putrid with Rust and Decay!

God Himself is The Rewarder of All Men

Each According to His Own Works

There are No Perks for Extra Service

There are No Rewards for Dishonest Jerks!

Work ...  for The Night is Coming

When All Who Work Will Rest

Repent of Known Sin

Confession is To The King

Who knows, Sees and Is In Everything!

*******

WORK and FAITH

FAITH and WORK

One Without The Other

Ain't Never Gonna Work!

*******

Faith and Work

 Must Walk Side By Side

And 

The One Who Carries The Worker

Will In The Faithful Worker Abide!
