Good morning. Today we're back in Psalms. I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart; and my spirit ponders. Sometimes with all the troubles around us we forget our song. We feel like we have nothing to sing about. When you do sing despite the troubles, it sets your spirit free. I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; surely I will remember Your wonders of old. We need to remember what God has done for us in the past. He did it before; He will do it again. I will meditate on all Your work, and muse on Your deeds. We need to constantly think about all the good things God has done for us. You are the God who works wonders. If you have a big problem, then you need God to work a wonder. Of course all of our problems seem big to us. All of the things that God has done for us – we will not conceal them from our children, but tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and wondrous works He has done. How else will our children know what God is done for us if we don't tell them? If God has done it for us, He will do it for them. And we tell our children what God has done for us that they may arise and tell them to their children. It is passed down from generation to generation. Why do we tell them? That they may put their confidence in God and not forget the works of God but keep His commandments. We are responsible to keep it going. Father thank You for all that You have done for the reader, and for all You will do for him/her in the future. Give his/her song back in the night. Remind him/her to tell his/her children and grandchildren all the great things You have done for him/her - that they may put their confidence in You.

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...
