Good morning. I hope you
have an exciting week this week. I'm sure you have a lot of things to do. We
are back to the handout sheets. I am being strengthened with might by Your
Spirit in the inner man. People do a lot of things to strengthen their outer
man; but sadly too few do anything to strengthen their inner man. The
strengthening comes through the Holy Spirit – we just need to allow Him to do
it. Of course you need to "eat right". We eat right by reading and
meditating upon His word. Our effort – our might. His Spirit – His might. I am
strong in the Lord and in the power of Your might. I am empowered through my
union with You and I am drawing strength from You. What is the source of your
strength? If it is not God you fail even when you succeed. And so you know as
we said before: I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. I am
ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength
into me. It's not just being ready for things we know are coming; it's being
ready for those things which surprise us. When I pray, You answer me and
encourage me by giving me all the strength I need. Father thank You for giving
the reader all the strength he/she needs to face his/her problems every day.
Help him/her to be an overcomer in every situation. Help him/her to be ready
for any problems that try to surprise him/her.
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...
