Good morning. We are back in Psalms. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad. Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face continually. Truly let your heart be glad; for you seek the Lord. Seek after His strength and not your own. Seek His face continually not just when you are in need of something. Remember His wonders which He has done. As we've said before: if you remember what He has done for you in the past, it encourages you that He will do it again for you in the future. It then reminds us of Joseph who was sold as a slave. Just when things looked impossible God came to the rescue. It then says the word of the Lord tested him. At the proper time God's word came true. And so His word about you will come true - at the proper time. You can say with the Psalmist: remember me, O Lord, in Your favor toward Your people. That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones. But be careful. Then they believed His words; they sang His praise. They quickly forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel. They did not believe in His word. We rejoice when God does great things for us; but too often we soon forget. We don't have time to wait for His counsel – we want to know now! And so we don't believe His word that He has given us. He said that He would do it; we just don't want to wait for Him to do it. Father thank You that the reader seeks Your face continually. He/she believes Your words and waits for Your counsel.

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...
