The Better Part, Week #27

 

This week's FB posts:

The Better Part, Day #149:

 

Php 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Php 3:21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself. 

 

Did you know that the word here for "citizenship" is the Greek politeuma, from which politics springs? (Jay Leno's fractured Latin aside) This is why I even started The Better Part- because too many people were forgetting, or ignoring, where their politics SHOULD be!

 

 

The Better Part, Day #150:

 

Charles Stanley on," if God does His will, why should we pray?"

 

"God has things He wants to give us; some of those things He gives us only when we ask, and some of them He gives us whether we ask or not. Do we know the difference? No! So you better pray!"

 

The Better Part, Day #151:

 

Jdg 16:28 Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes." 

 

I realized today- Samson was the original Prodigal Son! A wasted life, culminating in a "pig pen" moment chained to a pillar in a pagan temple. His "I don't deserve to be your son" was "just this once..." and a loving Father answered a desperate prayer.
