Do not let the floodwaters engulf me
    or the depths swallow me up
    or the pit close its mouth over me.

16 Answer me, Lord, out of the goodness of your love;
    in your great mercy turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face from your servant;
    answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
18 Come near and rescue me;deliver me because of my foes. Psalm 69:15-18

Describe what it means to have God His face from you.

We have been given a very eclectic  mix of questions this week by Share Your World’s Scion, Cee. To see how everyone answered Cee’s questions click the link HERE.

Here is the list of questions and my answers:

Complete this sentence: This sandwich could really use some …

Spaghetti sauce. Everything is better with spaghetti sauce. those who have been reading my blog for a while will understand this. Those new to Lillie-Put will probably say “Gross!”

The best mix with spaghetti sauce in a sandwich is peanut butter.

What is your least favorite candy?

I am not a big fan of Good-N-Plenty unless they are mixed with buttered movie popcorn.

What sign are you? Do you believe in astrology?

I do believe in astrology. In so far as to a certain degree it works. I am a Sagittarius. I believe that most mystic and religious beliefs have their foundation in spiritual reality…THAT SAID….as a Christian I am forbidden to practice astrology because like most spiritual practices, outside the sphere of Christ’s influence, it holds great dangers for the practitioner.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.  

This song has been very helpful to me this morning.

It was a tough weekend.

 

WPC: A Place In This World

This week THE DAILY POST HAS ASKED ME TO SHOW YOU MY PLACE IN THE WORLD.

This is actually something God has been clarifying for me of late.

Those who follow me know I am a preacher. I love the church God has sent me to. It is my place in this world for the moment. That said, though I have been here at Cornerstone for 20 years, and while I have no leading from the Lord to move on I know that Cornerstone is only my “for now” place.

My permanent place is with Jesus.

But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.

54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,[j] this Scripture will be fulfilled:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.[k]
55 O death, where is your victory?
    O death, where is your sting?[l]”

56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. 57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Cor. 15

Wherever I am in the now or the then. If I am with Him then that is my place in the world.
