Good morning. Parts of Psalm  37 and 40: The Lord does not forsake His godly ones. They are preserved forever. He will never forsake you. He will take care of you forever. You, the righteous, will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. Your mouth utters wisdom because the word of your God is in your heart. Your steps do not slip. The word of God will keep you from walking down the wrong path. You will not slip and fall. Remember He has you by the hand to keep you from falling. Wait for the Lord and keep His way; and He will exalt you to inherit the land. There's that waiting thing again. The Lord is your strength in time of trouble: He helps you and delivers you because you take refuge in Him. I waited patiently – there it is again – for the Lord and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He set your feet upon a rock making your footsteps firm. He put a new song in your mouth a song of praise to our God. And because of that many will see and fear and will trust in the Lord. Because of your attitude, people will want to know the Lord. Your ears He has opened to hear His voice. You delight to do His will and His word is in your heart. He does not withhold His compassion from you, and His lovingkindness and truth will continually preserve you. Father thank You that You continually go with the reader to guide and protect him/her. You keep his/her feet from slipping and make him/her to stand firm. You grant all of his/her desires because he/she trusts in you.

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...
