Good morning. Appropriate
to the day in Psalm 119: You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for your
word. Even in our worst possible situation He hides us and shields us from
harm. So no matter what is going on around you, run to Him, you're hiding
place. Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live. Uphold me that I may
be safe. I love Your commandments above gold, yes, above fine gold. The things
of this world pale in comparison to God's word. The unfolding of Your words
gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. Another reference to His
word giving light. No matter what education you have God's word can give you
understanding of how to live your life and what to do. Make Your face shine
upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes. Your word is very pure,
therefore Your servant loves it. There is nothing that taints God's word. He
says what He means and He means what He says. Your law is truth. Jesus said
that God's word was truth, and that it is also Spirit and life. You are near, O
Lord, and all Your commandments are truth. He didn't just give us His word and
then leave us alone – He is as near as His word in your mouth. Father I thank
You that You shield the reader from all harm. You sustain him/her according to
Your word. Help America to remember not only the bad things that happened on
9/11, but to also remember that You are our hiding place and shield - our
sustainer in time of need.
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 ...
