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.

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...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

Good morning. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. That makes sense. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. Is your head beginning to swim? For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. From what he says later, they must have had great concern about their friends or relatives who were Christians and had died earlier. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits (The first sheaf of the harvest given to the Lord as a token that all of the harvest belonged to the Lord and would be dedicated to Him) of those who are asleep. Jesus was just the first to be raised from the dead, not the only one. We will see next time that Pa...
