Good morning. Today we are
in Psalm 91. He who dwells in the shelter of the most high will abide in the
shadow of the Almighty. You have to stay close to the Lord to be in His shadow.
He is our shelter from the storm. I will say to the Lord, "my refuge and
my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!" For it is He who delivers you from
the snare of the trapper, and from the deadly pestilence. The devil is out to
trap us, and he has many people whom he can use to do that. But these traps are
not in the shadow of the Almighty. So as long as we stay in His shadow, we will
be fine. He also delivers us from the deadly pestilence. No matter how bad
things are in the world, we are safe in Him. And once again: He will cover you
with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is
a shield and bulwark. We need to continually stay under His wings. He can't
shield us if we're not there. You will not be afraid of the terror by night.
There are a lot of terrors in the world. We are not to fear them. It doesn't
mean we're not to be cautious, just not fear them. We are also not to fear the
arrow that flies by day; or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or of the
destruction that lays waste at noon. That covers about everything. 1000 may fall
at your side, and 10,000 at your right hand; but it shall not approach you.
Though all around us may be afflicted, we need not fear; for God will protect
us as long as we stay underneath His wings. Father thank You for protecting the
reader from all harm; that he/she is safe from all the afflictions in the
world. He/she is safe under Your wings and in Your shadow.
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...
