Fascination with the Forbidden

What is this fascination with the forbidden

That’s front and center, and out there

Urging all to come forward

And delve into something rare?

What is our need to know who

Created God or who is His mother?

How He hides the entry portals from us

And does His eyes ever blink or flutter?

Why do we need to know if, when, how

He grants immortality?

Or why He allows evil to prosper

When we faithfully do good, am poor, and worshiping He?

Why do we need to know how 

To extend this mortal life

When He who created us promised

To grant us everlasting life?

Why do we need to “talk” to

Those beings who have not fallen from Grace

Nor have chosen to exalt self

Nor tried to take Jesus’ place?

Let me get to the point here

Ignorance itself can be a curse

And maliciousness can be even worse

But delving into what don’t concern us

Will lay us out in a black hearse!

Stop being so darned gipsy

Looking into things above your pay grade

Be thankful that the Lord is the Shepherd

And that we belong to The Heard!

Satan is a liar - and the father of lies!

His word to you is do what thou wilt

But, hey? Look at all the flies

That cover up the bloated soul/corpses 

That he's gained with his myriad lies!

Don’t you know that Christ IS the answer?

Don’t you know that Christ guides and stays?

Don’t you know that Christ gladly listens?

Don’t you know that The Christ gladly answers our prayers?

So if you want to know something - or anything

Walk the straight path into the narrow opening way

Keep your eyes fixed, your heart set, on Jesus

Believe Him for He who IS can deliver

And will answer all at the Changing 

To Everlasting Day!

Keep You Eyes Open

Keep Your Mouth Closed

Mind Your Own Business

for

God Is In Control!

'Nuff said.

Pray Is God’s Shield!

Pray is God’s shield

Between us and destruction

Pray is God’s shield

Between us and the Foe

Do not neglect pray

Our Savior prayed - and recommended it

Pray is God’s shield

Stand firm - it can take a blow!

Pray is God’s shield

To keep us from sinning

Pray is God’s shield

To cover our souls

Pray is God’s shield

You won’t go wrong when you’re wearing it

Pray is God’s shield

Hold on - and bask in the Glow!

Pray is God’s shield

Pray now, pray right now, and pray later

Pray is God’s shield

God made us and He is keeping His vow

To watch over us, and protect all His Children

Pray is God’s shield

He won’t leave you! Call Him now!

Dear Ones:

Please, please, please do not neglect your prayer life no matter what is going on in your personal or professional life!

Even if you don’t know what to say, calling upon the name of Jesus Christ will work wonders for whatever is ailing you! The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26) and, in the name of Jesus Christ, our requests are presented to God!

DON’T FORGET THAT: 

1. We pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, under the agency of the Holy Spirit.
2. Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock Heaven’s Storehouse!
3. Faith is the hand by which the soul takes hold upon Divine offers of Grace and Mercy!
4. We should pray the Promises of God!
5. “Yes!”, “No!”, “Wait!”, and “My Grace Is Sufficient For You!” are all God’s answers to our several prayers!
6. If we received everything for which we pray, we would be viewing our lives from inside the toilet, or worse!

WARNING:

1. God does not answer our prayers if we are holding on to known sin! Your prayer, in this view, is an abomination to God! So... confess your sin and THEN present your petitions!
2. Your Requests and God’s Calendar are not in alignment! It is all in God’s Delivery Time (GDT)! and
3. Never doubt Jesus’ Love for it dishonors God!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

BJ

Prayer: Lord, Help Me Not To Make Shipwreck!

Lord, help me not to make shipwreck

Upon the sandy shoals

Of name or rank or talent

Let me upon Christ take hold!

Help me to set aside my self, Lord

Help me, Lord, to lift You up

Give me the strength to give my back to

The accolades of men from the bitter cup!

I beseech You, Lord, for the blessings

That keep my sight raised high

To the Temple of The Eternal

To my mansion in the sky!

Until the Day of Awarding

When Saints have been glorified

Let me not make shipwreck of my faith, Lord

By believing Old Satan's lies!

AMEN.

Prayer: Lord, Fix Me

Lord, slough off my outer skin

The one that's marked/marred by sin

And let it be revealed today

A new, clean, heart within.

Debride me, Oh, Lord,

Layer by layer

And let the light of Your Life

Germinate and flower.

Remove from me

Pride and greed

Give me a humble heart

And some good seed

Worthy to be planted

Among Your people

Uplifting, encouraging

Helpful - not boastful.

Remove from me self and gluttony

Lord, give me instead

A heart filled to overflowing with You

Willing to feed the people - the milling, the dread!

Remove from me, Lord

The chalice of malice

And give me instead a good braided lattice

Whereupon I may hang Your Word

Oft’ to be repeated

Ever to be heard.

Lord, make me anew, and

Help me to eschew

The lowered life that I led - the fainting heart that I stewed!

Pour out the Love Balm, and

Hold Thou my hand

And help me be a a worthy member of

Your Glory Band. 

AMEN

To Whom Do You Sing Your Praise?

When you sing the message
Are you really singing to God
Or are you putting on a performance
For someone who isn’t the Lord?

Are you praising, or performing
Are you putting on a show
Which does not praise Your Creator
Because it praises the world?

Think once, think twice, I beseech
Know to whom you’re giving your praise
Make sure it’s to Your Creator
The Ancient One of Days!

Don’t fall into the trap that
Satan has placed for the world
By saying that whatever/however you’re singing
All music to the King is all praise!

Old Satan, the Old Minister of Music
Is alive, and kicking, and well
Able to blind you with his tricks
To perform music that give him his kicks!

He writes the songs that make this world sing
He lays the beats that makes Saints retreat
From lewdness, lechery and looseness
From rhythms that sends sinners to use bongs.

This same music is stomping into the Church of
God, the Father, the Spirit, the Son
Hijacking the old Saints from the praises
To honor Him, the Worthy, the Lamb!

Our God is the God of All Order
His Angels sing praise in majesty
Swelling and ringing, triumphant
Praising the God who loves humanity.

So, again, I ask you: “Who are YOU praising
When you sing the gospel message today?
Is it the God of All Creation OR
The god who leads children astray?"

Dear Ones:

When we, as singers and musicians, allow ourselves to become the focus, and center, of attention by our "performance," as we “praise” God in song, we are praising our selves, for we have allowed ourselves to accept the praise and worship that belongs solely to the God of Heaven.

Let us, therefore, be very, very careful ... that we do not find ourselves in the position in which King Herod found himself for accepting the worship, and adulation, that rightfully belonged to Almighty God.

Acts 12:21-23

21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 

22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”

23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

Satan has made it painfully clear that his sworn task is to deflect worship from the God of Heaven by any means necessary, and available.

Even if our “worship” does not name Satan himself, he seeks to ensure that if he can't get it, that God, Himself, does not receive same by encouraging us to believe that we, too, are gods, hence the designations we hear of godfather and empress and myriad divas (goddesses) of music, which appalling, even revolting, appellations are finding themselves in our houses of worship!

Lord, have mercy on us, and help us to see You as You are, and worship You - forgetting self - for You, alone, are worthy!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

BJ

Victory IS Mine!

Lord, purge me with hyssop

That I may be clean

I don’t need their sys-op

For those people are real mean!

Their plans are inhuman

I trust God to relieve

Me of their experiments

To make me immortal

When God said: “Not these!"

God’s Word is immutable

His commandment will stand

“Get behind me!” Old Satan

Our God ain’t a man

To play with His creatures

As cats play with mice

You are the great liar!

You've filled men with vice!

I trust God to deliver me!

I trust God to care

For me in this battle

Which vile men declare 

Is their’s for their number is numerous

Our numbers are few

BUT we have King Jesus

So there is nothing to lose!

Victory is mine

For when this life is lost

The King of Creation

Will wake me at the last

Trumpet of Awakening -

New life will be mine!

New Life in Eternity!

New Day with the Divine

Lord of the Kingdom!

Hello!?! Victory IS mine!

Trust Thou in God

When enemies, crass, knock at your door

Don’t hold your head!

Don’t fall on the floor!

Trust in your God,

Almighty, He

For in His face

All enemies flee!

One you, plus God

Equal a majority!

So feel sorry for those

Who fall from dignity

By trying their best

To destroy a child whom

God through Jesus Christ has blessed!

You are a human -

Your God is not!

So wipe the snot from your face

And trust in God’s grace

Which flows abundantly

And free to those

Who trust the Almighty!

Listen to me well

I’ll tell you a truth

Look to Jesus who

Is always in view

You don’t need to look out

Nor over nor through

Reach out to Jesus

He’s right next to you!

Trust thou in God -

He is the Great Creator!

Trust thou in God -

He made provision for you!

Trust thou in God -

He knows you, your wants, your upsets!

Trust thou, Dear One, in God!

Lies Have Been Told!

Lies have been told
And I believed many
That our God was cold
And didn't give a half-penny
For our sordid lives
Filled with wars and with strife
Nor children dying before they’d seen life!

'Twas often I heard
What kind of God he
Who let daddies die
Before ever seeing baby
Or Mommy so sad
At being left behind
Turning on the ignition
And waiting for to die?

Oh, Father, there was a time when
I, too, wondered how
You could see such sorrow
And not correct it and disavow
Your hand in the occurrence
Your assent to despair
Your ignoring the hurting
The hearts filled with cares?

But one day with gladness
I finally saw the truth
Of how that Old Satan
Was stirring the stew
Of half-truth, dissembling,
Out-right lies and fabricates
Fooling man into believing
That You were cut-bait!

I read in the Bible
The Truth of the matter
That Satan, The Liar
The Trier, The Fire
Will do anything
To destroy what Jesus’ blood
Had covered in the cleansing flood!

Take Job for example
A righteous man, he
Who gave of his blessings
To secure so many!
Yet, Satan, in distaste
For this Man’s clear soul
Sought permission from Our Lord
To cause Job to leave hold
Of the Sanctuary of Safety
Because God’s hedgerow had holes!

But, Job, a true believer
Faithful, e'en kind he, and true
To the High Calling that is ours
Through eyes that were faithful
Never uttered those dread words of denial!

He lifted clear eyes to heaven
His voice he loudly raised
And uttered undeniable
And glorious praise!
Which words now for eons
Have caused Saints to hold on to
The Savior, for hope in the Beyond:
"I know  my Redeemer liveth
I know He shall stand
The latter day is coming
Upon earth He will stand
Though worms may eat me
I know I will see
My God, the Eternal
In this flesh, yes, I'll see!"

So don’t be discouraged
When sorrow and strife come
When sadness and suffering
When your life’s in the can
The God of the Mountain
The Lord of the Light
Has victories most precious
For those who endure the fight!

Let not the Evil One sway you
Don’t utter foul words
Of  denial of the Master
Don’t give Satan the last word!

We have won the victory
Our bodies they may burn
But our souls belong to our God
For in this Word we learn:

"That GOD so loved the world
That He with gladness gave
His Son, only begotten
That we might be saved."

The trials may be fiery
The darts may be fierce
Our hearts they may pierce through
But our souls they can’t stave!

Lift high, then, His banner
Sing loud the victor’s song
Jesus, the Savior
Will soon be coming down
To claim - for Himself - the faithful
The steadfast, the true
Those who for the Promise
Black doings went through!

He comes with all dispatch
The sky breaking through
The Angels are the escort
He is coming for me and you
Who held on for Christ’s life
A crown of glory to share
With all the blessed throng
To whom white robes do belong!

Sing praise through the storm

Sing praise through the fire

Sing praise to our Jesus

For Satan is ever a liar!

Jehovah-Jireh

Father, You provide my daily bread

You give me somewhere to lay my head

Let me never Your Way depart and

Keep the Love of Jesus ever in my heart. 

AMEN

Happy Sabbath!

Today I pray

I sing a glad song

The Angels draw near

The Savior is present

Before Him I bow -

The Lord of The Sabbath

Who blessed me, and how!

Heavenly Father, I thank You, I bless You

And a glad song I raise 

Before the Dear Savior who with great joy I praise

For living, for loving, for dying and raising

Again to Your Presence -

The Ancient of  Days

So that I may come boldly

No failing, no fear

To receive of the Blessing

That daily You share.

Thank You, Lord! Amen.

The Gift Of Choice!

Love demands the gift of choice

And Jesus gave that to us

Freedom to choose to do His will

Or  live to self, and swallow the bitter pill!

Love has no obligation

Love has no you know you must

Love has no focus on the self

Love has no gimme, nor does it lust!

Love is patient, Love is kind

Love does not mutter nor repine

Love is to labor for the right

Love presses onward to the light!

Love when returned benefits the soul!

Love when it responds lifts up its horn

And sings to all the world the song

"Jesus is Love Alive! Come and be reborn!"

Is Your All On The Altar - Sabbath Prayer and Blessing

HAPPY SABBATH!

Bless the Lord, Oh, my soul! And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

Father, we come before You on another Sabbath Day and thank You for this opportunity to stand before You in quietness, and in peace, and safety.

We thank You, Lord, for the Blessed Assurance that makes us able to stand before You redeemed, justified, and sanctified, all because of Jesus.

Thank You, Lord, for the myriad blessings You have bestowed upon us during the hours of the week now past, and for numerous blessings You will bestow upon us before this Sabbath is over.

Father, we thank You for the gift of Calvary. We thank You for the roofs You caused to be placed over our heads, the food You bountifully placed upon our tables, for good health, for supple strength, for loving friends, and devoted family, and we especially prayer for straights paths for our children,

Have mercy, Lord, on the leaders of our various nations and assemblies, and we ask You to open their eyes so that they may see that You, the Most High God, rules over the affairs of men, and that Your Will is sovereign. Help them, Lord, to return to the old way-marks whereby there is safety.

Father, we pray for Your children around the planet who are facing stiff opposition for their faith in the Lord, Christ, for their standing for truth, for right-living, and for love of the Edenic family. Oh, Lord, have mercy on us.

We pray, Father, for the presence of the Holy Angels to surround and guard, and guide each and every member of the Family of God, and we pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in double portion, and for the direction that only the Spirit of God can provide so that we may speak powerfully of the Gospel of Christ to this dying world.

Father, we beseech You to help us to sit still and listen... to the Quiet Voice, and grant us spiritual ears to hear, and the will to obey, and to place our all on the Altar of Sacrifice. Help us to let go of our reigns to the Holy Spirit, and let Him take control of our will, our ways, our days and our years.

We ask You to help us to STOP, as ordained of the Sabbath, and to rest, and find refreshing from the hustle and bustle that marked each weary day of the work-week. Please quiet our minds, our thoughts, and our actions so that we may indeed be filled from the Storehouse of Heaven, and be blessed.

We ask You, Lord, to help us to live as the peacemakers, the hungry and the thirsty after righteousness, the meek, the merciful, the mournful, the pure in heart, the poor in spirit, the persecuted for righteousness sake, the salt of the earth, and as light in and to this dark world, so that we may obtain the blessings of Christ. Help us to rejoice, and to be exceedingly glad for the great reward that awaits us ...in Heaven.

Grant us Your Grace, Lord, to stand firm, to the end of our days, so that we may be counted worthy to be citizens of the Kingdom, and to receive our robes, and our crowns.

Father, please bury Heaven deep within each of our souls until the Day breaks when we shall see King Jesus.

We love You, Lord, and we thank You for hearing and answering the prayers of Your believing children. AMEN.

Rambling: Because of Sin

Because of Sin

Because of sin these old bones are a-creaking
Because of sin these eyes just don’t quite see fine
Because of sin I covet, I steal, and cheat the tax collector
And pretend to all that my life here is sublime!

I need a God - the one that can hear me
I need a God that can answer my prayers
I need a God who is always at the ready
The God in whose hands I have been stained!

I’m not into divas for they are  just idols
The only goddess I recognize is potty porcelain
The only God I believe in is the Almighty
For everything else is just plainly profane!

I am sick and tired of being sick, and being tired
I am sick and tired of sin’s humongous cost to me
I am sick and tired of this old world and where it’s headed
And can’t wait for Jesus to come and rescue me!

All around me nothing is what it appears to be
All around me is death, dying and decay
All around me there seems to be no hope for
Mouth giants without substance are holding sway!

Oh Lord, You know that this heart is feeble
Oh Lord, You know that my courage is ready to fail
Oh Lord, help me to stand up on Your Word, and
Give me Your strength to help me to hold strain!

Father, I bless You and, yes, I do reverence You!
Father, I bless You for Jesus taking the blame
For, Father, without Him, without His sacrifice, His dying
I would live my life as though sinning is something really game!

But ... because Jesus Christ took on the form of a servant
But ... because Jesus Christ took off His divinity
Because His heart hurt so badly for humanity
Because He suffered, bled, died and resurrected to Glory
Father, I can come freely unto to thee!

Thank God for Jesus!

Father, please keep us faithful, and ever in an attitude of readiness, for The Day is hastening toward us! Amen.

Heavenly Father, Hear My Prayer

Heavenly Father, hear my prayer!

 My prayer is humble simple

If not, Holy Spirit make clear.

I need to be with my Jesus

Help me to Him draw closer, and
May Your Holy Angels hover near!

AMEN

The Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Return of Jesus Christ

Born in a stable

To a virgin young

Baptised and was tempted

Preached, and did heal the throng

Scourged and crucified

Nails one, two and three

Rose on the third day

He returned to Glory

Holy Ghost as fire came down

The promised Comforter had come

Reject, or accept Him

 He’s coming back anyhow

The trumpet is sounding

The King is on His way

Every eye will see

Every tongue will confess

For some - He'll be The Hope Received!

For others - He'll be Dear Lord, We've Been Deceived!

Father, help us all to make the right decision. AMEN.

I Want The LOG!

I Want the LOG!

Sarah and Clita were little girls who lived a simple life, in a simple village, in a simple house, and were reared by simple parents.

Yup. Their lives were simple, but oh so amazing, because of the log that their parents insisted upon them learning about, and making it an integral part of their lives.

At first, learning about the log seemed so silly!

“Why do we need to learn about the log?” asked Clita.

“We see logs fallen around the house, and in the woods, all the time!” whined Sarah.

“Now, children. Listen carefully!” said Papa.

“This log is not just any old tree, or any piece of old wood! This log is the Lamb of God!”

“The Lamb of God?!” exclaimed Sarah and Clita in stereo.

“Yes!” crowed Papa. “The log IS the LAMB OF GOD!”

“You see, a long time ago, before the fall of the human race, Almighty God, The Word, and The Spirit, agreed that Jesus, the Son of the Father, the Lamb without Blemish, the Pet, if you will, would pay the ultimate price for sin after man disobeyed the Almighty and sinned.”

“Jesus was His Father's pet, and His was the blameless life to be sacrificed as a lamb without spot, or blemish, to die, once, for all, so that we might be redeemed from death!”

“Jesus, also the Author of Life and the Bread of Life, took sin unto Himself, which sin lead unto death, to give sinful man, like us, new life by His personal sacrifice!”

“The Pet Lamb, The Favorite, The Blessed Hope, The Hope of Glory, The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Deliverer, Our Friend, gave his righteous life for our sinful one!”

“The Best of Heaven took the worst of earth so that men may be renewed and reformed -in order to conform to The Consolation - so that our filthy rags may be restored to the newness of life!

“The LOG. leads to Light, and gives Life!”

“Always remember the LOG for He IS ... the Lamb of God!”

Sarah and Clita cheered, and were forever blessed for having learned of The Lamb of God!

Won't you join them?

Bold Sinners

They sin by day, they sin by night

They see no reason not to fight

The Holy Spirit is calling them

To repentance – but He has no hold on them?!

Or so they say!

They please no man, they please no friend

On Jesus Christ they don't depend

They want to know what good for them God has ever done

And proudly walk away seeking more mischief to run!

Against people they believe defenseless!

And when they've filled their cups to overflowing

Almighty God checks their balances to see their owings

And when they see the price to be paid

They think that He has some great mistake made!

God doesn't use accountants! God has Recording Angels!

O fickle fate! A fateful fit

Is what they have, when they receive the initial hit

But proudest sinners that they be

See no reason to bow down to the King, whoever he!?

The King of Love!

So, then, for their pride, their intentional arrogance

The humbling hand of God upon them is felt

Until they acknowledge that God Almighty o'er all rules

The choice is theirs – bow, bend or break – they get to choose!

You love God - Bow before Him!

You know you are a sinner - Bend to His Will!

You are your own god ... Break ... Good night.

Dear Ones: 

Let us be careful how we walk about this earth. All of our decisions have consequences - not just for now, but as it pertains to New Earth. So, I beg you, please answer the Savior when He calls you, while His hand of chastening is light, and while you've got an opportunity your life to renew! We are assuredly running out of "play" time!

HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE GOD

FOR

YOU DID NOT MAKE YOURSELF!

ALL EYES SHALL SEE HIM!

 HAPPY SABBATH!!

ALL EYES SHALL SEE!

Like lightning! Flashing

From east to west

That’s how my Lord shall come!

All eyes on earth shall Him behold

And no one shall be wondering

“Who comes?!”

Until that day

False Christs shall abound

Fooling the people

With miracles profound

So that if possible the very elect, too

Will be following them around!

Let no one deceive you!

That’s what the Master said

There be crooks and robbers so don’t be misled

For I’ve told you plainly, and well in advance

So don’t let Satan deceive you 

And on your prosperity prance!

Keep watch!

And pray!

Call me!

I hear and I care!!

Evil concupiscence forswear!

My coming is very near!

Luke 21:34-36Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Prayer: Grant Me The Mercy of Heaven!

Father, my heart is open to Your leading - grant me the mercy of Heaven!

Help me not to trust to, nor trust in, luck!

Help me Father to daily seek Your face 

as I travel along life’s pathways in this New Year.

Help me, Father, not to look with eyes of covetousness 

upon the dainties of those around me, for I do not know 

how the acquired their possessions, nor do I want to know, and

help me to stay contented with Your provision, whatever that may be.

Father, I ask for spiritual blinkers to be placed upon my eyes 

so that I can only see the straight path ahead, 

and help me to not yield to the temptations of the baubles and bounties 

of this dark world as they walk beside me to entice me from Your Light.

Even though I can’t store up earthly sustenance already utilized, 

help me to store Your spiritual food deep in my heart 

against the dark days that shall soon befall all men. 

Father, I am weak! 

Help me to be strong by, and in, Your Light for You say in Your word that 

Your strength is made perfect in weakness!

Father, I ask You to forgive me my sins,  

those I have remembered and confessed, 

and those long-forgotten and unconfessed sins, 

and I beseech You to help me to forgive myself,

 and to walk ever forward in faith. 

Today, Lord, I lay me down on the altar of sacrifice 

and I ask Your acceptance of my offering 

for Jesus' blood has made me clean.

I thank You for the many blessings 

You have already bestowed upon me, Lord, 

those seen and unseen, 

those known and unknown, 

those unexpected, and those unappreciated, 

and I earnestly pray for the soon coming of our Lord, Christ.

Father, I beseech You, by Your Grace, and in mercy, 

to bless me time and again so that I may bless another. 

Help me not to be tight-fisted with Your bounty 

but to open my hand, and my heart, to truly bless others in word, and in deeds,

so that Your Name may be glorified.

Help me, Father, to contend valiantly for the Faith, 

and keep me on the straight and narrow way to Glory.

Through it all, Father, keep me from becoming like Lot's wife.

Help me, Lord, not to look back, 

neither literally, nor figuratively as in my heart for what was.
Help me to look to what is possible to a life lived in You.

Help me to trust You, and in You, especially when I can't see You.

Help me, Lord, to love even as Jesus loves, and please engender

within me an unquenchable longing for ... Home,

for I am a pilgrim, and a stranger, in this vale of tears.

Thank You, Father, for hearing and answering my prayer. 

I love You, Lord.

 AMEN

January 1, 2015 - The Lord IS My Light AND My Salvation!

A BLESSED and BOUNTIFUL 2015!

May you continue to find your joy in the Lord, Jesus Christ!

Prayer: By Your Grace Lord!

Father,  please help me to let go of 

the bitter taste of yesterday with its sorrows and regrets

for it taints my enjoyment of Your daily provision.

By Your Grace, Lord, help me to affix a 

strangle hold on Your promise of the

tomorrow that is Eternity with Jesus Christ,

and help me to live victoriously in You, today.

AMEN

Seek the Savior!

When my Sorry Situation Confronts my Sad Circumstance I Seek the Savior!

When my Circumstance Confounds my ability to Control my Situation I Seek the Savior!

When my Capacity for Careful Consideration gets Circumvented by Circumstance I Seek the Savior!

When my Consideration of my Challenges is Crippled by Crass Causes and Crazy Conventions 

I seek the Savior.

In short, no matter my lot, I seek my Savior!

I will early seek my Savior

I care not what my lot may be

Jesus has called me - I will follow

And He will always take care of me

I will early seek my Savior

My situation does not me define

Jesus has called me - I will follow

And He will always me guide

I will early seek my Savior

Conventions and company don’t speak for me

Jesus has called me - I will follow

And His word daily in me abides

I did early seek my Savior

And the road has been e’er long

Jesus called me - and I follow

And He put in my heart this song:

Follow me, My Little One

Bear your burden - I’ll carry you along

Give no thought for heavy loads and living

With Me in your heart

‘To Eternity you’ll be singing!

I sing my song along the way

Situations and circumstance

With me hold no sway

I look  to the Son

With the sun in my face

And before you know it

I am walking apace

I early sought my Savior Friend

He walks beside me and He forfends

 Give Him your hand - He will take care 

What e'er your fight, or blight, or plight

Seek now the Savior for

Whose Word Is It?

What Does YOUR Bible Say?

Listening to some preachers

Often makes me doubt what I hear

So because the Lord has warned us

I delve into His Word myself without fear!

"Study to show thyself approved!"

Were our Dear Lord’s good words

To teach us about diligence

And not letting others exert undue influence!

Open the Word - great treasure is hidden!

Dig until you find it - the Master has given

These pearls of great price for us to possess

And keep close e’er the strife or distress!

The day is a-coming 

When the world will be starved

Not for bread or for water

But for hearing the Word!

Please, don’t be like lost sheep

Ingest the Word and e’en share 

Amongst those that are hungry

And living in despair!

With the known Word in your stomach

With these pearls in your care

The Devil can wreak havoc

But he can’t you ensnare!

Hear it, and love it

Bury it deep, and set a guard

Upon this treasure from Heaven
