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!

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....
