Good morning. We are back in Isaiah. Trust in the Lord forever. For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. In this dizzying world we need something steady to hold onto. He will not be moved, and neither will we. The way of the righteous is smooth (sometimes it doesn't seem like it though); O Upright One make the path of the righteous level. He will flatten anything that stands in our way. Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for You. My spirit within me seeks You diligently. Even when we are asleep, we seek the Lord. And now something that sounds like it comes from the 15th chapter of first Corinthians: your dead will live; their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy; and the earth will give birth to the departed spirits. They hear the trumpet sound! It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who are perishing and those who are scattered will come and worship the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. Then a verse that we read about also in Romans and first Peter: behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. Sometimes we forget that for the people who wrote the New Testament, the Old Testament was their Bible. They were just quoting scriptures. And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level. God makes sure that everything in His church and in our lives is perfectly straight. Your covenant with death shall be canceled. Death will no longer have control over us! What has happened to the world – the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep. They don't see what's coming - what is the result of their actions. Then something you heard from Jesus: this people draw near with their words and honor Me with their lip service, and their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote. That sounds like a lot of people that go to church every Sunday. "Well, I've done my duty and got my protection for the week". The wisdom of their wise men shall perish. They twist the Word to suit themselves. Father thank You that You make the reader's path smooth. He/she walks in victory every day. Continue healing him/her and meeting 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...

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...
