Good morning. Rejoice and
be glad! But will you really rejoice? We are going to look at a couple of Psalms
today. The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him.
Again we see that God is our refuge and our strength. And all the upright in
heart will glory. Oh You who hears prayer, to You all men come. Yes God does
hear our prayer. Remember: because we know God hears our prayer, we know that
we have the requests we asked of Him. How blessed is the one whom You choose,
and bring near to You, to dwell in Your courts. He chose us; and He didn't do
it and then forsake us. He brought us near to Him. And what is the result? We
will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. There is
goodness and joy in the presence of the Lord. No good thing does He withhold
from us. Who keeps us in life, and does not allow our feet to slip. Remember
that He holds onto our hand so we won't slip and fall. We will walk with
steadfast feet when we walk with God. For You have tried us, oh God; You have
refined us as silver is refined. Remember from yesterday: Blessed is the man
who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the
crown of life. It gets hot in the refining fire of God. But He keeps us from
all harm. We went through fire and through water; yet You brought us out into a
place of abundance. No matter what you have gone through, you will be brought
into a place of abundance. God will not desert you. Father thank You that You
keep the reader’s feet from slipping. You keep him/her in the midst of the fire
and trials. He/she will come forth as gold! He/she will walk in a place of
abundance.
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...
