Good morning. We are back in Psalms. I love the Lord, because He hears my voice and my supplications. We have a God who listens to us. The prophets of Baal whom Elijah faced cried out and cut themselves; but their god did not listen. We do not have to fear that God will turn His back on us. And so "because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live." If He did it before, He will do it again. Sometimes when things happen, our soul gets upset. However we should say "return to your rest, oh my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you." Yes sometimes you do have to talk to your soul. After all in Psalm 103 it says bless the Lord O my soul. Our soul should be at rest continually. Why? Because He has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. First and foremost, He saved our soul. We can take comfort in that. When our eyes were crying from hurt, He turned our mourning into laughter. Because our eyes were filled with tears, our feet stumbled, and He rescued us. I shall walk before the Lord in the land of the living. What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me? That's a good question. There is nothing we can do to repay Him except to do His will and praise Him. I shall lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. One of the greatest signs of appreciation that we can do for Him is to keep calling on Him. It shows that we trust Him to take care of us. Father thank You for dealing bountifully with the reader. His/her soul can be continually at rest because he/she trusts in You. He/she shall walk before You without his/her feet stumbling. You deal bountifully with him/her and rescued his/her soul from death.

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...
