Good morning. We are still in Psalm 37. Those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. I know it's hard to do, but be patient. It's easy to say when you're not going through it yourself. Also the humble will inherit the land, and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. And not just little ole tiny prosperity (I say, I say that's a joke son). Any kind of prosperity will be just fine. Remember it says to humble yourself and He will exalt you. Too many times Christians do not follow verse 16: better is the little of the righteous then the abundance of many wicked. They see all of these bad people and some Christians doing wrong things and yet prospering. They become envious. The end does not justify the means. Verse 19: in the days of famine they will have an abundance. Even when things are bad around us, God will supply all of our needs and then some. I have not had a step increase in 10 years and very few raises. And yet I have more income than I ever have. That's because God finds many different ways to bless me. Verse 23: your steps Rani are established by the Lord; and He delights in your way. He guides you and delights in you Rani. If you fall you will not be hurled headlong because the Lord is the One who holds your hand. He gently picks you back up, and then you continue on the path He has chosen for you. I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his descendants begging bread. Even your children are blessed because of you. Father help the reader to continue to put his/her trust in You; for You will supply all of his/her needs and all of his/her children's needs. Thank You that You delight in him/her; and that You hold his/her hand so he/she won't fall.

Law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners

  Good morning. So, was the law a bad thing? We know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully (not to control people, as some were), realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane…, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the Blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer etc. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. Formerly Paul was good in the eyes of the law, but unrighteous in the eyes of God. Despite that, God was more than able to use him in a magnificent way to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. Father thank You that Your Grace is gre...

Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me

  Good morning. Paul then gives a list of a lot of things that he has gone through as an apostle. I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. There could be many people that you listen to either in church or through the Internet or other means; but there was only one person (as a general rule it was a person) that lead you to Christ. Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me. He was saying that just like a child imitates his or her father, they were to imitate him. He says that again seven chapters later. Since it is easy to forget some things about people we have not seen in a while, Paul says that he sent Timothy to them to remind them of his ways which are in Christ, just as he taught everywhere in every church. Some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. I shall find ou...

Philip, who was one of the seven deacons, went down to the city of Samaria and began preaching Christ to them.

  Good morning. Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the word. Philip, who was one of the seven deacons, went down to the city of Samaria and began preaching Christ to them. This is the area where Jesus had the discussion with the woman at the well. Remember from Acts 1:8 that after Jerusalem, Samaria was mentioned. Samaritans were looked down upon by the Jews and considered more or less half Jews. A lot of the Jews of the northern kingdom were taken away and replaced by others who were not Jews. They intermingled with the Jews that were living in the northern kingdom. Even though Samaria was not far away, the disciples had not come there to preach the word before this. The disciples may have even thought that it was impossible for them to get saved, just like the Gentiles. The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing. Even though he was “just a deacon”, God worked throug...
