But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. -Psalm 13:5

• Mon, Apr 7: Gen 8:22 "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease."

The Lord said something was not good: Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a helper comparable to him." Gen 3 Satan questioned Eve's contentment. God is merciful. Ps 33 God is Sovereign and Prov 8:33-36 There is evidence of the trinity in Matthew 3:16-17, 16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He

saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Trinity: 1) Jesus up from the water, 2) the Spirit of God which descended from heaven upon Jesus when he has just come up from the water, 3) While Jesus is up from the water with the Spirit upon him, they hear the Father's voice from heaven. So the Spirit descended while the Father remained in heaven.

• Tue, Apr 8: Ps 33 and Prov 9:1-6 Respect God and depart from evil, By Wisdom a house is builded, go in the way of understanding. Matthew 4: Satan Tempts Jesus, Jesus begins ministry and Jesus calls Disciples. The 3 Temptations:

1) "Make bread from stones." Legitimate need: Hunger , Weakness: Impatience, Focus: God's Vision for You, your purpose.(Heaven) 2) "Throw yourself down", Dare God. Need: Security, Weakness: Pride, Focus: God's Plan for you.(Bible) 3) "Worship me (Satan)'. Need: Achievement, Weakness: Looking for easy solutions, Focus: Do not compromise with evil. (Holy Spirit)

• Wed, Apr 9: Gen 5 Noah descends from Adam's son Seth. Prov 9:7-8 (Cast out the scoffer and contention will go out, yes, strife and abuse will cease-Prov 22:10), Matthew 5 - Who are blessed. The disciples are called the salt of the earth, and light of the world: Christ exhorts them to be good examples, when you're weak He is strong, have integrity and love your enemies.and Ps 34 Seek peace and Pursue it, Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all (Not just some!) Evil shall slay the

wicked...
