Good morning. The ones we are going to look at today are from a handout sheet that I've had a long time. They are verses from various translations. Some we may have looked at before and some we will look at in the future. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. No matter what happens – good or bad - we are to praise the Lord continually. This shows our trust in Him. We are not thankful for the bad things; we are thankful despite them. As I praise Him all during the day, I will go from strength to strength; that is keep increasing in victorious power! God is not looking for the strong silent type. He is looking for those who express their praise to Him. God is working everything into a pattern for good, because I truly love Him and am one of those called to His purpose. Not everything is good but everything works into a pattern for good. I would not be here today if certain things had not happened during my life. At the time they seemed bad; but together they brought me to here where I am today. I'm sure God has done that in your life too. He knows where we are now and where we need to be in the future. Why does He care what happens to you - because you truly love Him and are one of those called to His purpose. And so: I will not be afraid of bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. My heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord! You don't have to lay awake at night fearing that you're going to hear some bad news. That is because you trust the Lord. You've heard it said that most of the things that we fear will happen never happen. But even if they do happen, we can trust in the Lord to take care of us. Thank You Father that the reader’s heart trusts in You and that You work everything into a pattern for good for him/her. No bad thing that he/she fears will overcome him/her. He/she will go from strength to strength and will continually praise You every day.

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...

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

Good morning. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. That makes sense. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. Is your head beginning to swim? For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. From what he says later, they must have had great concern about their friends or relatives who were Christians and had died earlier. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits (The first sheaf of the harvest given to the Lord as a token that all of the harvest belonged to the Lord and would be dedicated to Him) of those who are asleep. Jesus was just the first to be raised from the dead, not the only one. We will see next time that Pa...
