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.

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...

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.

Good morning. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. That makes sense. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. Is your head beginning to swim? For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. From what he says later, they must have had great concern about their friends or relatives who were Christians and had died earlier. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits (The first sheaf of the harvest given to the Lord as a token that all of the harvest belonged to the Lord and would be dedicated to Him) of those who are asleep. Jesus was just the first to be raised from the dead, not the only one. We will see next time that Pa...
