Good morning. Hope
everything's going well. We're back in Psalms. Let my prayer come before You;
incline Your ear to my cry! We don't serve a God who does not listen to us. He
sincerely desires to hear our prayers. And if we know He hears our prayers, we know
that we have the requests that we have asked of Him. I will sing of the
lovingkindness of the Lord forever. We do that every time we are in church, and
throughout every day of our lives. Even the heavens will praise Your wonders,
oh Lord. The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; the world and all it
contains, You have founded them. Since everything is His, He can give us
whatever we need. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne.
And so they should be the foundation of our lives. How blessed are the people
who know the joyful sound! Oh Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all the day, and in Your righteousness they are
exalted. With His face shining upon us, we know that we can walk safely in the
path He has chosen for us. Our shield belongs to the Lord. With it we are
protected from all harm. Father thank You that You shield the reader and You
shine Your light upon his/her path. You give him/her a song in his/her heart
proclaiming Your goodness all day long.

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...
