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.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...

After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body

  Good morning. After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body. Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 100 pounds weight. Remember that myrrh was one of the gifts that the magi brought when Jesus was a baby. Also notice that he had 100 pounds of spices. Normally one does not have that much just lying around the house. Since most likely he was older, he may have been storing it up for when he himself was going to die. Or perhaps while Jesus was hanging on the cross, he went to the merchants and purchased it, because there was no time to do so after Jesus died prior to the beginning of the Sabbath. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. My Bible says that these were thin ...

Why are you timid, you men of little faith?

  Good morning. Remember that Jesus had given orders that they should depart to the other side (of the lake). While Jesus was asleep in the boat, there arose a great storm, so that the boat was covered with the waves. This was no afternoon shower; it was one of those “make the palm trees bend over and touch the ground" kind of storms. And Jesus just slept through it! He had confidence in His Father to protect Him. The disciples, however, were not confident. They were focusing on the circumstances and not on the word Jesus had given them. They awoke Jesus saying, “save us, Lord; we are perishing!” Jesus had told them to go to the other side; so they should've been confident that they would make it. They did not even think about all of the miracles that Jesus had just finished doing. But even if they had, they probably would've said “well that was one thing, this is something entirely different”. The same thing happens to us. God tells us to do something, and a storm arises....
