Good morning. I trust that
you had fun last night. At first I wasn't too sure about these verses, but then
it hit me – this really may be important. Psalm 16 verse seven: I will bless
the Lord who has counseled me; indeed my mind instructs me in the night. I
believe that you're going to wake up one morning and that you will know that
you will know that you will know what you are
supposed to do! There won't be any doubt in your mind. Even in the
natural our subconscious works at night. People wake up knowing how to do
something they had been thinking about. It's even truer with God. Our lives and
minds are so busy that we just can't hear what God says to us. But as we are at
rest He can speak to our spirits and to our minds. And why does He do this? Verse
eight: I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right
hand, I will not be shaken. When we put God first in our lives then He can
speak to us even in our sleep, and we will listen. Nothing can shake is from
the path He has shown us in the night. Because verse 11: You will make known to
me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand
there are pleasures forever. Father thank You that You're speaking to the
reader even while he/she sleeps. Thank You that he’s/she's going to wake up
knowing exactly what he/she needs to do; that You are going to make known to him/her,
his/her path of life.
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
