Good morning. I hope
everything is well with you. We are back in the book of Psalms. The Lord is
righteous in all His ways, and kind in all His deeds. Sometimes it may not seem
like He is kind, but He is. Things may seem bad now, but joy comes in the morning!
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
It's not a long distance call - He is right inside us. But we have to call upon
Him in truth. Some only call upon Him to get themselves out of a jam that they
themselves created. He will fulfill the desires of those who fear Him; He will
also hear their cry and will save them. Do you have a desire – He will fulfill
it! When you are in trouble, cry out to Him and He will save you. The Lord
keeps all who love Him. He will keep you. I will praise the Lord while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Do not trust in princes,
in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. Even Christians trust in man
rather than in God. Man may get them out of the problem; but in the end they
will fail. Remember that: some trust in chariots and some in horses, we will
trust in the name of the Lord our God. How blessed is he whose help is the God
of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God. And who is this Lord our God? He who
made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; He keeps faith forever.
If He did all of that, then He can take care of any problems that we might
have. He is faithful even when we are not. He executes justice for the
oppressed; gives food to the hungry: and sets the prisoners free. He may not do
it as quickly as we would like, but He does execute justice for us and sets us
free. Father thank You that You fulfill all of the reader's desires. You hear his/her
cry and save him/her. You execute justice for him/her and provide all of his/her
needs!
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...
