Good morning. We are in Proverbs. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. It is hard sometimes to trust in God and not go according to our intellect. It doesn't look like the right way to go according to our mind. It reminds me of the story about the tightrope walker. The tightrope was stretched across a canyon. He asked the crowd "do you believe I am able to walk across this tightrope"? Yes they cheered! And so he did. Then he asked "do you believe I can do it pushing a wheelbarrow"? Yes they cheered! And so he did. Then he asked "do you believe I can do it pushing a wheelbarrow with someone inside"? Again they cheered yes! Then he said "if you really believe it, then get in the wheelbarrow". We say we believe God can do something; but too many times we are afraid to get in the wheelbarrow. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. We are the ones that make our paths crooked. He is the one that makes them straight. We are the ones that turn to the left or to the right off the path. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. If I feel like I am the one that's doing it, then pride will enter my heart. Why do I need God then? We shouldn't even go near evil. There is too much of a temptation there. And what will be the result? It will be healing to your body, and refreshment to your bones. Some days these bones need refreshment. If you want healing to your body, walk in the paths that the Lord directs you. Father thank You that the reader constantly walks in Your paths; he/she listens to You and does not lean on his/her own understanding. He/she has healing to his/her body and refreshment to his/her bones.

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...
