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.

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.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...

After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body

  Good morning. After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body. Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 100 pounds weight. Remember that myrrh was one of the gifts that the magi brought when Jesus was a baby. Also notice that he had 100 pounds of spices. Normally one does not have that much just lying around the house. Since most likely he was older, he may have been storing it up for when he himself was going to die. Or perhaps while Jesus was hanging on the cross, he went to the merchants and purchased it, because there was no time to do so after Jesus died prior to the beginning of the Sabbath. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. My Bible says that these were thin ...
