Good morning. I hope you had a restful night. Proverbs: the hope of the righteous is gladness. The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the upright. Walking in the way of the Lord is a protection against the attacks of the enemy. It is our stronghold. The righteous will never be shaken. You, Rani, will never be shaken. That's because you walk in the way of the Lord. The devil wants us to believe that we can be shaken. Then we will walk in fear all of our lives, and he can control us. The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom. He's talking about your mouth. The lips of the righteous brings forth what is acceptable. What we say should be acceptable. Too many times people who say they are Christians – what comes out of their mouths is not acceptable. A false balance is an abomination to the Lord. Just because you got the better of someone by cheating, that does not mean that what you did is approved by God. You may think you got away with something, but God is watching. When pride comes, then comes dishonor. When you think that you got away with something by cheating someone, you start to feel proud of yourself. God will get you in the end (I'm not saying which end). With the humble is wisdom. You know that it's not you doing it – it's God, and you have nothing to be proud about. That is truly wisdom. The integrity of the upright will guide them. It is our GPS system. Righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way. You will have smooth sailing. Father thank You that the reader will never be shaken. Out of his/her mouth flows wisdom. Righteousness and integrity will guide him/her and deliver him/her from death; he/she will have a smooth path.

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....
