Good morning. Look upon my
affliction and rescue me, for I do not forget Your law. Want to get away? Don't
forget God's word. For in it He always gives us the way of escape. Revive me
according to Your word. Down and out? Depressed? God's word will revive you.
The sum of Your word is truth. Each part of God's word is true – the totality
of it is truth indeed. And every one of Your righteous ordinances is
everlasting. What is true today, was true yesterday, and will be true tomorrow
- forever. That is because God's word, like Jesus Christ, is the same
yesterday, today, and forever. Those who love Your law have great peace. Don't
have peace? Don't take a pill – take the word. And nothing causes them to
stumble. That is the only way we can keep from stumbling, that is, to be filled
with God's word. Need deliverance – deliver me according to Your word. His word
is like one of those old Western elixirs – it's good for everything that ails
you. Let Your hand be ready to help me, Your law is my delight. Let my soul
live that it may praise You, and let Your ordinances help me. Everything we
need is in God's word. And thus endeth Psalm 119. Father we thank You for Your
word. It has everything we need. Let it guide and protect the reader throughout
the day. It will never fail, and neither will he/she.
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...
