Good morning. Today we are
looking at psalm 31. For You are my rock and my fortress; for Your name's sake
You will lead me and guide me. Never fear, God will always lead and guide you.
Why – for His name's sake. Today people want guidance; and when they see you
making good decisions, they will want to have the same source. They want to
believe that there is some spiritual source that will guide them. You can be
that shining light. Then they will ask you how do you do it? Then you can tell
them about God being your source. Verse four: You will pull me out of the net
which they have secretly laid for me. Sometimes nonbelievers set traps for
Christians. But just like they said of Elisha - The prophet who is in Israel
tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom. Even so God
will tell you what they are saying in secret to trap you. Verse 15: my times
are in Your hand. Everything concerning your life is in God's hands. He will
make His face to shine upon you.19: how great is Your goodness, which You have
stored up for those who fear You. He has stored up many great things for you
because that is where your treasure is - in the secret place of His presence.
Father help the reader to continually trust in You to guide and direct him/her;
to make his/her paths smooth; and to supply all his/her needs.

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 ...
