Good morning from the
young folks home. As the deer panteth for the water so my soul longeth after
Thee. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. I'm sure that's one of your
favorites. If only we longed for God like a deer longs for water when it's thirsty,
how much better Christians would we be? Just as the deer would do anything to
get to the water, so would we do anything to get to God. Too many Christians
long for dirty water. They don't keep seeking until they find clean water. Then
verse five comes upon them. Why are you in despair, oh my soul? And why have
you become disturbed within me? They don't understand why they feel this way
within themselves. They have everything they want or need, but there's
something disturbing within them. What can they do? Hope in God, for I shall
again praise Him for the help of His presence. It is only in seeking after God
that we can truly be happy. Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls.
Our spirit within seeks His Spirit. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in
the daytime; and His song will be with me in the night. A prayer to the God of
my life. Father help the reader’s life to be a song of praise unto You. Help him/her
to keep seeking You as the deer seeks for the water; that his/her soul never
becomes in despair. Thank You that he/she's a blessing to those around him/her.

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 ...
