Good morning. This will be
part of various verses from Psalm 18. I love Thee O Lord, my strength, my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer in whom I take refuge. I call upon the Lord, who
is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. He rescued me, because
He delighted in me. I have kept the ways of the Lord. All of His word was
before me. I was blameless with Him. For You light my lamp You illumine my
darkness. Then from Matthew chapter 5: you are the light of the world a city
set on a hill cannot be hidden. Let your light shine before men in such a way
that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
God will take care of you every day. No matter what comes against you, He will
protect you. Why does He rescue you? Because He delights in you. You have kept
His ways and followed His word. You are blameless before Him. You are the light
of the world. Why – because He lit your lamp. Now people will see His light in
you. The trouble with light is that it reveals the things of darkness. It
reveals the evil that is in men's hearts. It is His light in you that reveals
those things. You don't hide it, and you don't try to make it shine. You just
allow Him to live His life in you. Then people will see His light in you and will
want to come to know the Father who is in you and has given you that light.
Father help the reader to let Your light in him/her shine wherever he/she goes.
Help him/her to be confident in You - that you will guide and protect him/her;
and that you will answer his/her prayers, because he/she delights in You and
You delight in him/her.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
