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.
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 ...
