Good morning. Back in the book of Psalms which is a good place to be in the middle of a storm. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. We don't automatically know and do God's will. We have to be taught to do His will. And how are we taught? Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. It is the Holy Spirit who teaches us. Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle. We are in a war – with the world system; and we have to be trained for this war. Some Christians think that they can do it all on their own without any preparation. God is: my lovingkindness and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliver; my shield and He in whom I take refuge. He is our shelter from the storm. And then a verse that repeats what is in Psalm eight: oh Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the Son of Man, that You think of him? How can the infinite God think about us? And yet we are always on His mind. It may not work out the way we think it should, but it is always for the best. How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord! We are truly blessed. Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. And so what should we do? One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. We should tell our children and grandchildren about the greatness of the Lord. That way they will catch the vision. Sadly too often we fail. On the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. Too often we meditate on the bad things happening in our lives instead of His goodness and mercy. Father thank You that You train the reader's hands for war. He/she will be ready for battle in any situation that comes upon him/her. He/she will remember and tell of Your greatness and glory to his/her children and grandchildren. You are his/her fortress, his/her stronghold his/her deliverer.

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

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 ...
