Good morning. These are some verses from Psalm 25. Make me know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day. Moses said to God if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. When we know God's ways then we know Him. When we read the Bible, it is possible that we only know about God; not that we actually know Him and His ways. As we walk with Him daily, we get to know the way He does things. We start to imitate Him like children. Children try to imitate their parents; and so we should try to imitate our Father - God. Verse nine says He teaches the humble His way. When we are humble, that is, we are not know it all's, then He can teach us His ways. Verse 12 who is the man who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. God will instruct you Rani in the way you should choose. He will show you what you are supposed to do. He's not trying to hide it from you. He wants you to know. And what is the result? Verse 13: your soul will abide in prosperity. Remember from third John: I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. As your soul is prospering Rani so you will prosper in everything else. Whether it's physical, financial, or making life-changing decisions, you will prosper. Father teach the reader Your ways that he/she may know You and prosper in all that he/she does. Help him/her to be that light set on the hill so that all may see and know that You are his/her Father and that You take care of him/her in all that he/she does.

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...

  Good morning. So Peter just told them that basically they were responsible for the death of Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, brethren, what shall we do? Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. As we will see much later, it seems that at this point in time they believed that you could not receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit without first being baptized in water. It appears that that idea did not change until chapter 10 after God baptized Cornelius and his family in the Holy Spirit before they were water baptized. Now lest someone think that this was just for the people in the first century Peter then says, for the promise (of the Father - baptism in the Holy Spirit) is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself. That means us! And...

And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it

  Good morning. I pray that everything is all right with your family. And as he heard these words,  Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it – ya think? Based on Peter’s words to the wife later, I don’t think Peter was expecting this to happen. If that happened today, a lot of congregations would be shrinking 😳 . The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him. Notice that there was no ceremony, and no one gave a eulogy. I don’t know if that was the custom or if it was because of the way he died – probably the custom. They needed to bury people right away because there was no embalming. Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. What, no one cellphoned her 🙃 ? Notice that it took three hours. Whether that is because it was a long way off, or it took a long time to dig a grave we don’t know. Responding to her, Peter said, tell me whet...
