Good morning. Back to Proverbs: The righteous is delivered from trouble. How? Through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. It doesn't seem that way sometimes. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted. When it goes well with us, it goes well with our city. Sometimes we have to: a man of understanding keeps silent. There are times when we feel like we just have to put our two cents worth in, and that's when we get into trouble. He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy conceals a matter. "Well you know you need to pray for brother and sister so and so because…". Where there is no guidance the people fall. When the leaders of a city operate in their own wisdom, disaster comes eventually. A gracious woman attains honor. That's you! The merciful man does himself good. That seems counter-intuitive. Being merciful does good for someone else. And yet this says you do yourself good. He who sows righteousness gets a true reward. What are you sowing? Want to attain to life - he who is steadfast in righteousness will attain to life. The blameless in their walk are God's delight. What is one of the greatest benefits of walking in God's way - the descendants of the righteous will be delivered. Because of your righteous life, your children and grandchildren will be delivered! Father thank You that the reader sows righteousness wherever he/she goes. He/she is Your delight. His/her children and grandchildren will be delivered.

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...
