They are always twisting what I say;
    they spend their days plotting to harm me.
6 They come together to spy on me—
    watching my every step, eager to kill me.
7 Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;
    in your anger, O God, bring them down.

8 You keep track of all my sorrows.[b]
    You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
    You have recorded each one in your book.

9 My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
    This I know: God is on my side!
10 I praise God for what he has promised;
    yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:5-11

What is the record book of sorrows for? Why do you think God keeps track?

I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,
    and many are boldly attacking me.
3 But when I am afraid,
    I will put my trust in you.
4 I praise God for what he has promised.
    I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:2-4

What can mere mortals do to you? Do you count that a game-changer?

It’s time for SHARE YOUR WORLD. This is the challenge where bloggers from all over the world answer five questions and share the worlds with the rest of the blogosphere. My answers are below. You can click the link above to see how many other bloggers answered Cee’s questions.

What’s your strongest sense?

I think it is hearing. It is my go to sense at any rate. I always talk about listening for answers and listening for God…

Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey)

This week it is Dopey.

I forgot I was fifty and not fifteen this weekend and tried to carry a bunch of tables and chairs. By Sunday afternoon I could barely move!

If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what age would that be?

This week I would choose fifteen.

List of Jobs You Think You Might Enjoy: Even if you aren’t thinking about a career change, it can be fun to think of other jobs you might enjoy.  [Remember:  This is SYW where even your dreams can become reality.]

Teacher. Waiter. Monk. Not necessarily in that order.

Optional Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am grateful I did not have to go to the hospital this weekend (it was a little dicey there for a few hours). I am looking forward to being totally healed up…though that may not be by next week. 😦

As for my companion, he betrayed his friends;
    he broke his promises.
21 His words are as smooth as butter,
    but in his heart is war.
His words are as soothing as lotion,
    but underneath are daggers!

22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
    and he will take care of you.
    He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

23 But you, O God, will send the wicked
    down to the pit of destruction.
Murderers and liars will die young,
    but I am trusting you to save me. Psalm 55:20-23

What is a “pit of destruction”. How does any person end up in one?
