Good morning. We are back in Psalms. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. He didn't just cover them over with a little dirt. They are gone forever. He doesn't remember them and so we shouldn't either. Don't let the devil bring up things from the past. He, God, knows what we are made out of; He is mindful that we are but dust. As for man his days are like grass. But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him. That shows a great contrast between Him and us. Even though we are but temporary on the earth, His lovingkindness is forever. Let my meditation be pleasing to Him. What we meditate upon matters. When we meditate upon the bad things around us, it is hard if not impossible to believe that He wants good things and will bring good things to us. Someone once said that meditation is like a cow chewing her cud. She chews on it for a while and then later brings it back up and chews on it again (hope you've already had breakfast). Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples. We need to let people know what God has done for us. It gives them hope that He will do the same thing for them. It also gives us encouragement – that if He did it for us before, He will do it for us again. So let us give thanks to the Lord! Father thank You for all that You have done for the reader. Not only have You done it in the past, but You will do it again and again whenever he/she needs it. Help him/her to proclaim Your deeds wherever he/she goes.

Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

  Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...

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...
