Good morning. We
are back in Psalms. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His
lovingkindness is everlasting. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so (go ahead –
say "so!"), whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary. Yes
we should say how God has redeemed us from all our sins and from all harm. Of
course in today's world, we are ridiculed for saying so. Speaking about the
children of Israel, it says He led them also by a straight way. God also leads
us along a straight and narrow path. And we should not deviate from this
straight path. For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He
has filled with what is good. Too many Christians today are not hungering and
thirsting after righteousness. They are hungering and thirsting after things
instead of righteousness. If you are willing, your soul will never hunger or
thirst again. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions. It is His word that heals and delivers us. Apart from His word we
have nothing. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, and for
His wonders to the sons of men! And a verse that reminds us of Hebrews: let
them also offer sacrifices of Thanksgiving. Tell of His works with joyful
singing. That is the type of sacrifices we offer today – sacrifices of
Thanksgiving, not of animals. Father thank You that the reader has been
redeemed from the hand of the adversary. His/her thirsty and hungry soul has
been satisfied. He/she has been healed and delivered. He/she offers sacrifices
of Thanksgiving continually.
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...
