Good morning. We're back in the Psalms today. It talks about You who are enthroned above the cherubim. To the Jewish people either God was far off in heaven or He was in the temple above the cherubim. But to us, He is living inside of us. He is not distant. We don't have to call long distance to talk to Him. It also says oh God, restore us, and cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. God watches over us, and when He shines His face upon us, the darkness flees and we are saved from all our distress. Then: but I would feed you with the finest of the wheat; and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you. God does not give us the second best – He only gives the best. He gives us exactly what we need. How blessed are those who well in Your house! How blessed is the one whose strength is in You. In whose heart are the highways to Zion! For a day in Your courts is better than 1000 outside. Nothing that the world has to offer can replace what God will give to us. Being with Him is better than all the riches of the world. For the Lord God is a sun and shield. He shields us from all harm. He shines His light on our path. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. God is not playing keep away with us. He wants to give us the good even more than we want to have the good. How blessed is the one who trusts in You! Father thank You that You are a shield to the reader; that You light his/her path wherever he/she goes. You only give him/her the best and do not withhold anything that he/she needs.

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...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

Good morning. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. That makes sense. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. Is your head beginning to swim? For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. From what he says later, they must have had great concern about their friends or relatives who were Christians and had died earlier. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits (The first sheaf of the harvest given to the Lord as a token that all of the harvest belonged to the Lord and would be dedicated to Him) of those who are asleep. Jesus was just the first to be raised from the dead, not the only one. We will see next time that Pa...
