Like Char-Burnt Toast, Doubt Is Out!!

My Life Was In The Toilet
I Had ... No Way Out!
But, Then
I Recognized
That I Was Seeing My Life
Through Eyes That Could Not See Out!

I Stopped
AND
I Thought ... For A Moment:

Am I Not A Child Of God?!
Why Am I Thinking ... Hopeless
When
My Father Is The Eternal God?!

I Took A Step
AND
Then I Took Another
AND
I Stopped ... In The Valley Of Decision
AND
That Is When I Finally Realized That
Jesus' Faith
AND
My Very Human Human Doubt
Were About To Have A Cataclysmic Collision!

Did I Believe God?
Did I Trust The Lord?
Did I Hope In The Eternal God
BECAUSE OF
Living Faith
OR
Was I A Doubting Man
Turbulently Tossed
Double-Minded
Wavering In The Crushing Wind
At Sea
Weak
Worried
Wondering
What, Lord, Is To Be Come Of Me?!

I Breathed Deeply!
Air Filled My Trembling Chest
AND
That Is When I Firmed My Resolve
AND
Decided To Give The Eternal God
- My Everlasting Father -
Control Of My Needing-Healing Head

AND

The Lying Heart In My Chest!

Father,

You Are Faithful!

Father,

I Am Weak!

Father,

Please Take Care Of Me

For

I Cannot The Plain Way See That I Seek!

I Let Go, Lord, Of These Problems!

My Shoulders Are Not Big Enough!

I Give To You My Burden - I Love You

Please Guide Me

Through Changing-Life's Roundabout!

I Thank You, Lord

For My Blessing!

I Thank You, Lord

For The Word Of Truth!

I Thank You, Lord

For The Certain Hope Of Tomorrow!

Bless Me Again

For

I Am Totally Dependent Upon You!

I Laid Me Down

AND

I Slept In Peace

AND

In The Morning

I Awakened

AND

Praise Be To The God Most High

My Heavy Burden

From What Used To Be A Heavy Heavy Heart

Had Unmistakably

Been Taken!

I Shouted:

Glory! Hallelujah!

Praise To The God Above!

Thank You, Lord

For The Soul Comfort!

Thank You, Lord

For Everlasting Love!

I Do Not Claim
That Life Is Perfect!
I Do Claim Kinship
To The Perfect God Above
AND
I Choose
To Remember Each Day
That The God Above
To Whom My Life I Gave
Laid Down His Life For Me
AND
Still
Got Up From The Dead Man's Cold Grave
AND
I Now Walk
No More A Prisoner
No More A Doubter
No More To Self
A Mindless Slave!

I'm Free
Of All The Burdens
That Drain Away Man's Life!
I Am Free
Of All The Burdens
That Bog Man Down In Strife!
I Am Free
To Walk
In Faith
By Grace
AND
I Am Free
The Praises Of The Glorious King
To Mouth And Shout About!

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
Upon Fallen Man
On This Earth Below!
Praise Father
Son
AND
Holy Ghost
Doubt ... In My Life
Is Thrown Down
Cast Out
Not Good For Anything
Just Like So Much Char-Burnt Toast!

Human Eyes See What Is Was!

God's Eyes

See What Shall Be

- For Us -

A Prosperously Glorious Eternity

**--** WHEN **--**

We 

Trust Him

To Lead Us

Out Of

Doubt's ... Raging Sea!

PRAYER... Of Faith, Hope And Love!

Hand Of Mercy! 

Hand Of Love! 

You Who Dwell In Heaven Above

Have Mercy

On Us Who In Faith Pray

And

Bless Us To Walk Ever

On The Straight And Narrow Way!

Bless Us, Lord

And

Help Our Faith To Work

And

Constrain Us

So That From Our Station Of Duty

We Do Not As Doubters Desert!

Father, 

Let Your Grace

Be Sufficient For Us Today

And

Help Us To Guard Our Hearts

So That Unto Fables

We Do Not Turn Away!

Have Mercy On Those Who

By Foisted Deception

Before The Graven Images

And

The Popular Idols Fall! 

Please Open Their Eyes

Let The Occluding Scales Fall! 

Grant Unto Them Wisdom

The Lie And The Liar To Detect

And

Help Them And Protect Them

As By Your Blessed Call

From The Ways Of Damnation

They Defect!

Help Us

Who Call Jesus Christ

Sovereign Lord And Holy God! 

Save Us

So That We May In Him

By Him

With Him

Ascend

To The Great Reward!

Let No One

- Man Pretending He Is God

Nor

Devil Demanding Worship As God - 

Cause Us In Fear

To Turn Aside

And Keep Us

Ever At Your Side! 

Let Us In You Abide!

Time Is Short

And

The Path To Glory Seems Long

But

Eternal God

Our Father

Please Help Us

To Keep Singing

A Zion Happy Song!

Father, 

Let No One Kill

Our Hope-In-God Tree! 

Help Us

In Our Fight For Soul Salvation

To

In Christ Jesus

Valiant Be!

Redeeming The Time

And

Time!

Help The Brethren

To Awaken From Sleep!

Succor Those Who Are Struggling

Help Them To Stand On Steady Feet!

Let Your Most Holy Word Be

Foundation

Anchor

Pillar

Shade

And Food

And

Should We Sin Against Thee

Help Us To Avail Ourselves

Of Your Forgiveness

Expensively Purchased

And 

For The Asking

Offered Unto Us

Free!

Help Us

In You

To Rest Easy

Being Instant Constant

In Prayer

Living As Victors

For We Know

How

The Story Ends!

We Know The King

We Know What The Good Book Says!

Father, 

I Love You! 

Please Accept My Offering Of Pray

And Bless Me In Your Service

To Continue Each Day! 

Let Not Faith Fail

Let Not Planned Sin

Upon Me Creep

And

Help Me To Live In Your Love

That Says

The Loving Shepherd

Keeps Safe His Sheep!

Blessed Assurance! 

The Lord Jesus Is Mine! 

Come Soon, Loving Father

You Who Are Ever Kind! 

Let Your Divine Majesty

Burst On Our Sight

Thrilling Us With Rapture

For It Is Our Will

- To You Surrendered -

To Take Our Much Anticipated Flight! 

AMEN.

Fearless And Shameless!

Hyper Critical
Sudden Lee
Knoet All
AND
Simme Here
Were Into Everything
Everywhere
No Matter
The Date The Time
The Place The Matter!
They Ever Always Enjoy
A Lovely, Lovely, Natter!
... At Someone Else's Expense!

Hyper Critical
Sudden Lee
Knoet All
AND
Simme Here
- If It Were Possible -
Would Criticize Even
The God Of Heaven
AND
Have Even Criticized The Dead
For How In A Casket
The Undertaker Placed That's Person's Head!

Not One Single Thing
Could This Bass Soprano Alto Tenor Trio
Ever See As Good
No Matter Who It Is
That Is Doing It!

Wait A Minute!
Soprano Alto Tenor Bass -
That's A Quartet!
But You Say It Is A Trio!
How, Pray Tell
Is THAT Possible?!

Simple, My Brother!
Whenever The Music Starts
Sudden Lee Hyper Critical
Sings The Solo!

Man, You Talking Bare Ignorance!

Yes!

Excuse Me?!

Silly Rabbit ...
When Sudden Lee AND Hyper Critical
Are In The Midst Of Anything
You Cannot Tell Them Apart
Because They Merrrrrge Into Each Other
Becoming One Voice
AND
Wreak Havoc Upon Whomever
Is The Target Of Their Tender Mercies!

With Those Two
There Is No Preamble!
They Do A Join And Jump
AND
Simme Here
AND
Knoet All
Fill In The Chorus!

You Better Explain Yourself!

Sudden Lee
Has A Part
- An Upfront Part -
In Every Story!
Simme Here Likes To Be Seen
As Her Glorious Plumage Unfurls!

- She Is A Peahen  In Peacock Plumage - 
Knoet All Has The Pointy Stick
AND
Hyper Critical Twirls
EveryWhichWay
With His Technicolor Baton!

These Musically Inharmoniously-Jubilant Racketeers
Make Music
At The Will Of The Fraud
AND
When They Are Done Performing
You Can Be Sure
Someone Will Feel
That They Have Been Rolling Around
In The Stomach
Of A Mangy Dog!

Kinda Graphic Don'tcha Think?!

It Is What It Is!

Look ...

I Shall Be Plain:

People Who Like To Be Seen
AND
People Who Like To Be Heard
Have No Problem Creating Fictions
So That They May Preach
The Sermon Of The Day
AND
People Who Know Everything
AND
People Who Like To Be At Every Dog Fight
Have No Problem
Setting UP Somebody Anybody
For The Flavor-Of-The-Month-Dog
Out Of Them
To Take A Big, Big, Bite!

This Little Group Of Hell Hounds
Fear Not God Nor Man
AND
If Doing You A Damage
Gets Them A Jolly
From Turning Your Life
Into Cole Slaw Cabbage
Believe It
You Are Going To Get Ravaged
AND
Savaged!

One Of The Worst Things
About These Felons
Is That They Answer
Before The Question Is Asked
AND
It Is Because Of This "Delicate Attribute"
That Many Lives Are Embittered
AND
Unnecessary Suits Enjoined!

Problem Is
They Who Create The Problems
Are Never Around To Fix
What They Break!

You're Right!

They Take The Cake! 

They're Honest-To-Goodness Fakes!

I'm Hungry!

You Got Any Bakes?!

INSTANT SANCTIFICATION?!

There Is No Such Thing As Instant Sanctification!
Sanctification Is A Work That Continues
As Long As Life Shall Last!
It Does Not Consist Of Strong Emotion
Nor Is It Proved 

- Nor Disproved -
By Whether We Laugh Or Cry!

Many Walk Around Crying:

The Lord!

The Lord Wholly Sanctified Me! 

We Walk And We Talk

And I ...

I Am Wholly Holy!

BUT ...

They Live Like Devils
Spreading A Miasma All Around
Setting On Edge The Teeth Of Those 

Trying
Trying Trying
Not To Cause God 

At Them Frown!

Why Do They Do It?!
What Are They Trying To Prove?!
Who Are They Impressing?!
Don't They Realize That They Have Much To Lose?!

Don't They Honestly Read The Good Book?
Do They Not Grasp The Word ...

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation
With Fear And Trembling!

Work For Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work!

Faith Without Work Is ... Dead!

Christ Is Coming To Reward Every Man According To His ... Work!

Man Is Sanctified By God's Truth!
Faith Comes By Hearing!?

The Word Of God
ISThe Word Of Truth
AND
If The Word Of Truth In Us Works
Should Not We Cooperate With The Working Word
Via The Working Of The Holy Spirit
By Working To Change Bad Character Traits
Into Christ-Like Traits
So That He Who Started The Good Work In Us
May Finish It
In The Day Of God Almighty?!

The Narrow Way To Sure Salvation
For
Whosoever Will
Is
Paved With Sweat Equity
Binding
The Bricks Of Believing Effort
Into 

The Groove Of Steadfast Faith
Aided 

By Unwavering Trust
Cheered 

By True Repentance And Complete Confession
Hoisted 

By Free Mercy
On 

The Back Of Available Grace
Holding 

Complete Forgiveness!

There Are No Slackers Aka Loafers
Admitted Into Heaven

- On A Free Pass -

Just Because They
- As Fools -
Thought It Too Much Work

To Much Trouble
To Lift Up The Spoon Full Of Truth 

To Their Own Mouth
To Stave Off Soul Starvation!

There Will Be None In Heaven
Who Did Not Tend The Good Seed Sown In Them
AND
Patiently Labor
In The Wait Time
For
A Bountiful Harvest!

How Is

Your Sanctification

Being Worked Out?!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : The Maker Of ... Me! + PRAYER: I Desire To Live With You, Lord!

The Maker Of... Me
Said In His Love Letter To Me

"Follow Me!"

He Also Said To Me ...

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
Call On Me And I Will Answer Thee
And Show Thee Great Things That Thou Knowest Not!
Followed By
Come Unto Me And Rest!
AND
Believe And Live!
For
Sin Is A Reproach To Any People!

The Kicker Was:

Confess Your Sin And Repent!

He Did Not Suggest It!
He Clearly Said ...

God Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Me My Sin
And To Cleanse Me From All Unrighteousness!

He Beseeched Me 
To Trust God
AND PLAINLY SAID
God's Grace Is Sufficient For Me!

I Heard ...

Hope Thou In God
AND
Get Understanding
AND
Remember That
Wisdom Is The Principal Thing!

He Said:

Fear God
And Keep His Commandments
For It Is My - Man's - Duty
AND KNOW
God Will Bring Every Work Into Judgment
Even The Things I Hide
Be They Good Or Evil!

He Urged Me, Saying ...

Do Not Follow The Multitude To Do Evil!
Cast Your Every Care On God!
My Redeemer Lives!
AND
God Be Praised

The Lord Liveth To Make Intercession For Me!

The Lord, Himself, Says ...

Don't Walk In Your Own Understanding
Walk By Faith Not Sight
Let No One Steal Your Crown
Weeping Lasts For A Night
Joy Comes In The Morning
Choose You This Day Which God You Will Serve
AND EMPHASISES THAT
Those Who Serve False Gods Are Like Unto Them!

The Maker Of ... Me
In His Love Letter To Me
Asked:

Is There Anything Too Hard For Me?"

In Response To This
I Pray And Say
Unto The Maker
My Maker
The Lord
My God:

PRAYER:

Lord,

Have Mercy On Me!

Help Thou My Unbelief!

I Was A Child!

I Did Childish Things!

I Am Growing Up!

Help Me To Put Away Childish Things!

Help Me To Honor You, Lord

Love You

 Trust You And Obey!

Help Me, Lord

To Live In Your Love

Above The Frustrations

Frets

Upsets

Sorrows And Sadness

Wants And Worries

Needs And Necessities

Cares And Concerns

Because You Have Said

I Will Never Leave You

Nor

Forsake You!

Father,

You Have Also Said

In The Letter Of Love

That If I Am In Hell

There Will You Be With Me

That There Is No Place That I Can Go

Absent Your Spirit

That You Know All

That You See All

That You Are In All

That You Count The Hairs On My Head

That You Knew Me

Before I Was Made Perfect

That You Know My Name

That You Feel My Pain

That I Am Blessed

By Not Walking

In The Counsel Of The Ungodly

That I Am Blessed When I Mourn

For I Shall Be Comforted

That I Should Do Good

And

Good Shall Attend Me

That I Should Not Cast Away

My Confidence In Christ

Which Has Great Recompense Of Reward

That You Are Preparing A Place For Me

That You Are Coming Again For ... Me

That Your Gift To Me

Is

Eternal Life

That You Give Peace

That Passes

Human Understanding

That Your Grace Is Marvellous

That Angels Are Watching Over Me

That If I Wait On You, Lord

That I Shall Mount Up With Wings As Eagles

That I Shall Run And Not Be Weary

That I Shall Walk And Not Faint!

You Have Promised, Lord

That In The Hour Of My Trial

That My Jesus Will Plead For Me!

You Have Promised Me, Lord

Faith And Grace

According To My Need

For The Day!

You Have Promised Me, Lord

That For My Fidelity

To The Holy God

That My Bread And Water

Are Sure!

Father,

You Are God!

You Keep Your Promises!

I Am A Mere Man

A Child Of The Dust!

When You Feed Me I Live!

If You Take Away My Breath

It Is Sure That I Shall Die

BUT, NOW,

Lord,

I Am Alive

In Need

Praying!

Pleading

Please Pity Me!

Help Me To Love You!

Help Me To Love Your Word!

Help Me To Seek Your Face

To Get Out

From Amongst The Disobedient

That Tribe Called Goat Herd!

Help Me To Live As An Obedient Sheep!

Help Me, Lord

To ... In Humility

Cast My Self And My Problems

With Finality

At Your Precious Feet!

Lord,

Let Not My Soul Be Cast Down!

Let Not My Soul

Be Dispirited Within Me

For I Hope In God

Who Is My Strength

And

My Salvation!

Father,

Teach Me Your Ways

And

Help Me To Walk In Them!

Let Your Word Be My Lamp

And

Let It Light My Path!

Let My Path Lead to Zion

The City Of The Eternal

- My God -

Where I

With All The Saints

- My Brethren -

Shall Partake

The Great Reward!

Lord,

I Love You!

I Desire To Live

According To Your Sovereign Will -

Please Make It So

So That I May See My Jesus

As Conquering King

And

In Joyous Peace!

Forgive Me Of My Sin Today!

Forgive Me For It Is To The Holy God I Pray!

Forgive Me E'er I Crucify My Jesus Afresh

And

Help Me Not To Use

The Feigned Excuse

That I Am But Flesh!

Keep Me Faithful, Father

For I Acknowledge That

Christ Is My Portion Forever! 

Harken To My Call

And Do For Me

All That The Holy God Will Do

For His Believing

And

Determined To Be Faithful Child!

In Jesus' Holy Name

I Humbly Plead!

AMEN.
