Good morning. Today we're
going to take parts of verses from Psalm 18 and 19 and the prayer will come
from Psalm 19 & 20. By You I can run through a troop and leap over a wall.
Your way is blameless; Your word is tried. You are a shield to all who take
refuge in You. You enlarge my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Your word is perfect, restoring the soul. Your testimony is sure making wise
the simple. Your precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Your commandment is
pure, enlightening the eyes. In keeping Your commandments there is great
reward. Keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins. Then I shall be blameless.
Nothing can stand against you when you are with God. Notice that you're not
just standing there being attacked. You've never seen anyone being attacked by
a wall, have you? You are the one that is charging. God's word has been tried
for thousands of years and is still applicable today. We will succeed as long
as we follow it. He has enlarged your steps. You are no longer taking baby
steps just going a short way like a little child. You can confidently travel
throughout the world wherever God sends you. As you stay in God's word, it will
restore your soul. You can't make it happen; only God and His word can. It also
makes you wise in the face of your enemies. When you keep God's word, there is
great reward. It includes physical things; but is much more than that. His word
will keep you from sinning. You will be blameless when you follow God's word.
Now the prayer from Psalm 19 and 20. Father let the words of the reader’s mouth
and the meditation of his/her heart be acceptable in Your sight. May You grant
his/her heart's desire, and fulfill all his/her counsel. May You fulfill all his/her
petitions!
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...
