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!

Law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners

  Good morning. So, was the law a bad thing? We know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully (not to control people, as some were), realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane…, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the Blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer etc. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. Formerly Paul was good in the eyes of the law, but unrighteous in the eyes of God. Despite that, God was more than able to use him in a magnificent way to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. Father thank You that Your Grace is gre...

Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me

  Good morning. Paul then gives a list of a lot of things that he has gone through as an apostle. I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. There could be many people that you listen to either in church or through the Internet or other means; but there was only one person (as a general rule it was a person) that lead you to Christ. Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me. He was saying that just like a child imitates his or her father, they were to imitate him. He says that again seven chapters later. Since it is easy to forget some things about people we have not seen in a while, Paul says that he sent Timothy to them to remind them of his ways which are in Christ, just as he taught everywhere in every church. Some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. I shall find ou...

Philip, who was one of the seven deacons, went down to the city of Samaria and began preaching Christ to them.

  Good morning. Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the word. Philip, who was one of the seven deacons, went down to the city of Samaria and began preaching Christ to them. This is the area where Jesus had the discussion with the woman at the well. Remember from Acts 1:8 that after Jerusalem, Samaria was mentioned. Samaritans were looked down upon by the Jews and considered more or less half Jews. A lot of the Jews of the northern kingdom were taken away and replaced by others who were not Jews. They intermingled with the Jews that were living in the northern kingdom. Even though Samaria was not far away, the disciples had not come there to preach the word before this. The disciples may have even thought that it was impossible for them to get saved, just like the Gentiles. The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing. Even though he was “just a deacon”, God worked throug...
