Good morning. We are back
to the handout sheet. I will cast all my cares upon Him, for He cares for me.
We do have a God that cares for us. Sometimes we cast our cares upon people who
in the end don't really care for us. They pretend to, but they don't really
care for us. But our God really does care for us. We can trust Him – and His
shoulders are big enough to carry the burden. I am more than a winner, through
Christ who loves me. Sometimes we feel like a loser; but Christ says that we are
a winner – and even more than a winner. We feel like breaking even would be
good enough. But God says we are more than a winner. And we are more than a
winner through Christ – because He loves us. He who began a good work in me will
complete it – (making me what I ought to be). God did not just start a good
work in us, and then walk off. He makes sure that it will be completed. It's
not up to us to do the completing; He will do it. Of course we have to
cooperate with Him. Father help the reader to cast all of his/her cares upon
You; for You truly do care for him/her. He/she is more than a winner through
You. You began a good work in him/her; and You will surely complete it. He/she
will be what he/she ought to be.

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...
