Good morning. This morning
we're going to look at Psalm 55 and 56. Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He
will sustain you. You also see this in Matthew chapter 6: do not be anxious for
your life as to what you should eat or what you should drink and so on. And
also in first Peter chapter 5: casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He
cares for you. We keep seeing this over and over. It is not for us to bear our
burdens, but for Him to bear them. Too many times we make things burdens for
ourselves when they shouldn't be. But we have to do the casting upon Him. The
world can be a fearful place when you're trying to take it on by yourself. What
do you do – Psalm 56: when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God,
whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What
can mere man do to me? God is bigger than all our fears; He is bigger than all
our problems. We trust in God and His word. His word says He will take care of
us. God said it; I believe it; that settles it! Verse eight; put my tears in
Your bottle; are they not in Your book? God treasures our tears – He feels our
pain. No matter what has happened to you, God treasures your tears. He has not
forgotten them. This I know, that God is for me. In God whose word I praise, I
have put my trust. I shall not be afraid, what can man do to me? Father thank
You that You care about the reader and all that has happened to him/her. Thank
You that he/she trusts in You and Your word. Thank You for meeting all of his/her
needs.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
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 ...
