'I have seen that in any great undertaking it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself.''

''Well Goooood Morning!
Are those ''bed-sheets'' sticking to your back from the 'Humidity!'...Well,..take
off those 'soggy' socks,..Go Grab that ''Iced Cup O' Joe'' or Your Favorite 'Libation,'..Do like me,.sit in
front of a fan with a bucket of ice posted in front of it and 'Stay Cool' while We All ponder about today's
Message...''Looking at GOD!''

Yup,..Lost your asking?...Nope!...A child came up to me after a Service,..''Pastor,..Did You ever see GOD?
What does HE Look like?..How Will I Know it's HIM!?.''..

Alllllrity now!,..Nothing like ''Scrambling My Egg's'' with that question,..Gotta' think fast!...What would
Jesus say?....HE would say...Ask the Bible,..it has ''ALL'' the Answers!..

Remembering that the Bible says to ''Come to GOD in Prayer as a Child''..I grabbed the ''Good Book''...
Scripture ,..actually Several Different Passages says it like this,..I'll ''Splain'' later!!!

1 Corinthians-13:12...''Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face. Now
I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.''

Genesis-1:27...''GOD created man in HIS own image, in the image of GOD he created them, male and
female he created them.''

So!..That's it?...Not quite,..As it is stated in Scripture,.We were created after God's own image,.So,.as we
look into a mirror,.do we see God there?...''How Dare You Compare Yourself to GOD'' Some will Scream!

Don't get your shorts all bound up there now,..''IMAGE,...image I say!...Did not Scripture say''Poor Reflection!''
'Whew!'..Close one there,..Almost stepped on a ''Toe-Tapper'' there,..or at least some ''Tangle-foot''..for
You who don't know,..it's a ''Booby-Trap'' and 'Barb-Wire!''..a real pain!..

I told the ''Little Fritter'' that GOD See's 'Our Heart',..and Yes, we all are different looking,.GOD made a variety
of different model's and styles..''To Play With Pastor?''...Good Grief NO!...To Love! I quickly shot back before
this little one could ''Throw me off my track!''...

''Well Pastor,.Since YOU haven't seen GOD,.Who has?.....''Hmmmm''..Here we go again,..Where's this kid's MOM!
I know!...MOSES!..Moses sorta seen HIM I replied in desperation,.my hand ''flying'' through the Bible,..let's see
here...Book of 'Revelation?''...Nope...''Exodus''...Great!..here it is!...Almost done now I be Praying' as I'm
scanning Scripture...

Exodus : 33-19:23...''I will make my goodness pass before you, I will announce you to the meaning of my name
Jehovah, the Lord.I show kindness and mercy to anyone I want to. But!..you may NOT see
the glory of my face, for man may not see me and live.However, stand here on this rock
beside me. And when my glory goes by, I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you
with my hand until I have passed. Then I will remove my hand and you shall see my back,
but Not My Face!''

''WOW'' the kid said,.wow!...Mom's here Pastor..Thanks for the Story!...''Wee Doggies!''..Kid's!...What next!...

How about YOU!?..Seen GOD yet?...Look Around,.The Sky,..the Cloud's...the 'smog'..kidding!...Look at the
Beauty of little things..Take a ''GOD '' Moment...So much of HIM that We take for Granted in our busy life...

Sure,..Look in the Mirror...''Thank GOD'' ..It's YOU He See's,.every minute of every day..HE Loves You,..US!

Well,..Cup O' Joe is ''Warm''..again,.Guess I'll take some ice from this bucket,..Nope,..Melted....I'm going to
get a ''Re-fill''...First..a few ''Parables'' to sweeten the cup!..

Romans-1:19-20...''Because what may be known of GOD is manifest in them,.. for GOD has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without
excuse.''

1-Timothy-3:16...''And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness-GOD was manifested in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up in glory.''

Proverbs-20:24...''Since the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way.''

''To know that GOD sees us brings both conviction and comfort.''

Where's my ''Cup O' Joe!''...

Till ''Next Week,''..Sherrie and I Hold All of You,..Our ''Warrior's'' and Our Still Great Nation'' in Prayer...

Take a ''Moment''...a GOD Minute and Give ''Thanks'' for What We have,..or What ''Little'' we have as some say..

And may WE,..As a Grateful Nation,..Always be able to say...''May GOD Bless America''..for it is in ''GOD WE TRUST''
