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.

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...
