Good morning. Back to
Psalm 91. We left off where it was talking about all the bad stuff happening to
the people around you. You will only look on with your eyes, and see the
recompense of the wicked. For you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the most
high, your dwelling place. All this bad stuff happening to people and we are
just observers. That's because we have God as our refuge, and they don't.
Remember to stay under His wings. A verse we should repeat every day: no evil
will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent. It can't come where
God is. Stand your ground! For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, lest you
strike your foot against a stone. He is our protector from all harm. You will
tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you will
trample down. We usually run from danger; but this says we can walk right over
it without harm. And why will God do this? Because the reader has loved Me,
therefore I will deliver him/her, I will set him/her securely on high because he/she
has known My name. He/she will call upon Me, and I will answer him/her; I will
be with him/her in trouble; I will rescue him/her, and honor him/her. With a
long life I will satisfy him/her, and let him/her behold My salvation.
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...
