Good morning. We are back
to the handout sheets. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly
imagine. Our God is BIG and is able to do anything that we need. There is no
problem that He cannot overcome. Don't be afraid to ask for the impossible. What
is the quote - "we do hard things every day; the impossible takes a little
longer". Are you feeling down and out? "I am your greatest
encourager". He makes you feel like you are the one that can do the
impossible. I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles. He
uplifts us no matter what is going on in our lives. When you are brokenhearted,
I am close to you. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will always be
there for us. And the final one from the handout sheets: as a shepherd carries
a lamb, I carry you close to My heart. As Willie Nelson sings "you are
always on my mind". Now that song will be going through your head all day
long. But it is true – you are always on God's mind. Father thank You that the
reader is always on Your mind. You desire to do for him/her more than he/she
could possibly imagine. You constantly encourage him/her. You are close to him/her
through all his/her trials and tribulations.

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...
