80, 243, 240113 response reading 80. 2 Corinthians 4. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. hymnal 243 1 Face to face with Christ, my Savior, face to face what will it be? When with rapture, face to face I behold Him. Face to face with Christ, my Savior with rapture I behold Him, who died for me.

Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky, face to face in His glory face to face in all glory face to face I shall behold Him by and by. 3 What rejoicing in His presence, when are banished grief and pain; when the crooked ways are straightened at once, and the dark things shall be plain, hallelujah when He will come. Face to face I shall behold Him, who died for me. Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky, face to face in His glory face to face in all glory face to face I shall behold Him by and by. 4 Face to face O blissful moment! Face to face to see and know; face to face with my Redeemer of my soul, Jesus Christ who loves me so! Hallelujah, I shall see Him, face to face I shall behold Him, who died for me. Face to face I shall behold Him far beyond the stary sky, face to face in His glory face to face in all glory face to face I shall behold Him by and by. Numbers 24:01-13 1 Now when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not resort to sorcery as at other times, but turned his face toward the desert. 2 When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him 3 and he uttered his oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly, 4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened: 5 "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel! 6 "Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the LORD, like cedars beside the waters. 7 Water will flow from their buckets; their seed will have abundant water. "Their king will be greater than Agag; their kingdom will be exalted. 8 "God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox. They devour hostile nations and break their bones in pieces; with their arrows they pierce them. 9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness--who dares to rouse them? "May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!" 10 Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam. He struck his hands together and said to him, "I summoned you to curse my enemies, but you have blessed them these three times. 11 Now leave at once and go home! I said I would reward you handsomely, but the LORD has kept you from being rewarded." 12 Balaam answered Balak, "Did I not tell the messengers you sent me, 13 'Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad, to go beyond the command of the LORD -and I must say only what the LORD says'? Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. amen.
