Good morning. We are back in Proverbs. Honor the Lord from your wealth, and from the first of all your produce. What wealth you ask? Notice that it says to honor the Lord from the first of all your produce. That is what the Law of Moses said to do. I read somewhere that the first fruits are the best. In the book of Genesis it says that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit the ground; while Able brought of the first-lings of his flock. It does not say that Cain first gave the best to the Lord. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that God had no regard for Cain's offering. And what will be the result of honoring God? So your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine. To paraphrase chief Brody in Jaws: "we're going to need a bigger barn". My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord, or loathe His reproof. It's easy to say that to our children about our discipline – but when it's applied to us, we don't like it. How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. For its profit is better than the profit of silver, and it's gain then fine gold. There's a lot of people who have a lot of money, but no wisdom. They are miserable in their success. And many eventually lose it all. You have a lot of friends when you're rich, but none when you lose all your money. Father thank You that the reader has all the wisdom he/she needs. He/she honors You, and so his/her barns are filled with plenty. Help him/her to know what to do. We curse any illness in Jesus name and command it to leave his/her body! He/she is walking in perfect health. Help him/her to have a great day.

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...

After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body

  Good morning. After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body. Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 100 pounds weight. Remember that myrrh was one of the gifts that the magi brought when Jesus was a baby. Also notice that he had 100 pounds of spices. Normally one does not have that much just lying around the house. Since most likely he was older, he may have been storing it up for when he himself was going to die. Or perhaps while Jesus was hanging on the cross, he went to the merchants and purchased it, because there was no time to do so after Jesus died prior to the beginning of the Sabbath. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. My Bible says that these were thin ...

Why are you timid, you men of little faith?

  Good morning. Remember that Jesus had given orders that they should depart to the other side (of the lake). While Jesus was asleep in the boat, there arose a great storm, so that the boat was covered with the waves. This was no afternoon shower; it was one of those “make the palm trees bend over and touch the ground" kind of storms. And Jesus just slept through it! He had confidence in His Father to protect Him. The disciples, however, were not confident. They were focusing on the circumstances and not on the word Jesus had given them. They awoke Jesus saying, “save us, Lord; we are perishing!” Jesus had told them to go to the other side; so they should've been confident that they would make it. They did not even think about all of the miracles that Jesus had just finished doing. But even if they had, they probably would've said “well that was one thing, this is something entirely different”. The same thing happens to us. God tells us to do something, and a storm arises....
