Manna for Your Morning

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. — Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NASB1995) says: He has made everything appropriate in its time. Everything that we experienced in 2022 may not have appeared beautiful to us, with our limited human perspective. But we can know in our hearts that it was appropriate because it happened according to the time set by our heavenly Father, Who had all our days written in His book, before we drew a single breath. (See Psalm 139:16) For now, all that we know is partial and incomplete. (See 1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT) This year may not have brought all that you had hoped for, but remember that everything happens at His appointed time. After years of barrenness, at the appointed time Sarah bore a son (See Genesis 18:14). Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and put into prison. But Gene

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. — Matthew 6:19-21 (NASB1995) Any material thing this world has to offer is temporary. Earthly goods have no eternal value, and they do not satisfy. May our heart’s desire be for the treasures of heaven. First and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness (See Matthew 6:33 AMP). Cherish His Presence more than anything. Luke 6:45 (AMP) says: The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart. Seek to dwell in the house of the LORD [in His presence] all the days of your life. (See Psalm 27:4 AMP) Let us treasure the Word of God in our hearts that we may not sin against Him. (See

Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything. — Psalms 46:10 (MSG) Cease striving, always trying to get somewhere or acquire something. Be still and acknowledge the Presence of our great and mighty God. He is El Elyon, the God Most High. He is above politics, above the doctor’s report, above the balance of your financial accounts, etc. Surrender your anxiety, doubts and worries to Him. Honor Him above all else. He is with you and He is able and faithful to provide everything you need. I will cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me. (Psalm 57:2) God is our shelter and our strength. When troubles seem near, God is nearer, and He’s ready to help. So why run and hide? No fear, no pacing, no biting fingernails. When the earth spins out of control, we are sure and fearless. When mountains crumble and the waters run wild, we are sure and fearless. Even in heavy winds and huge waves, or as mountains shake,

Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. — Psalm 94:17-19 (NLT) Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God. (Psalm 43:5 NASB1995) The God of hope refreshes and restores my soul (life). (See Romans 15:13 & Psalm 23:3) For the LORD will not [cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance. (Psalm 94:14 NKJV) And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. (Psalm 39:7 NLT) How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel), whose hope is in the LORD his God (Psalm 146:5 AMP). He is the God of all comfort (See 2 Corinthians 1:3), and His comfort will renew your hope and cheer.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You! — Psalm 84:11-12 (NASB1995) The LORD is a sun. He provides light to show us the way. He is a shield, protecting us from the fiery darts of the wicked one. In 2 Corinthians 1:8-10, when affliction came upon Paul and his traveling companions, he says they were crushed and overwhelmed beyond their ability to endure. They thought they would never live through it. However, in the midst of their troubles, they learned not to trust in themselves, but in God who raises the dead. God is our deliverer. No matter what you may be going through, keep your trust in YAHWEH. Set your hope on Him. He will outlast any storm in your life. Lord, You have been our dwelling place [our refuge, our sanctuary, our stability] in all generations. Before the mountains were born or before You had given birth to the earth and t

Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. — 1 John 3:7-8 (NASB1995) Do not let anyone lead you astray. Abide in God and follow His Holy Scriptures. …for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. (Mark 13:22 NASB1995) We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. (1 John 5:19 NKJV)  The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. (1 John 2:17 NASB1995)  You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. — 1 John 4:4 (NASB1995) Amen.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. — Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) In Matthew 1:23, the Lord spoke through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.” For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. (John 3:16-17 NASB1995) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13 NASB1995) Believe and trust in Yahusha (original Hebrew) as the Savior of your soul. He is the good Shepherd,

My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.” — Psalm 27:8 (NLT) Seek the face of YAHWEH in prayer, and require His Presence as your greatest need. (See Psalm 27:8 AMP) Desire more of Him, above anything else. Our primary goal is to live close to the LORD, to know Him more and more each day, and respond to His will and His Word. Let us get rid of the clutter in our minds, hearts and lives. The worries and cares of this world will choke the Word out. (See Mark 4:19) And let go of man-made traditions. In Mark 7:8 (AMP) Yeshua says: “You disregard and neglect the commandment of God, and cling [faithfully] to the tradition of men.” Instead, listen for His still small voice, and your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. (See Isaiah 30:21 NLT). Be a follower of Christ, not man. It is from Him, that all our blessings flow. Amen. First and most import

Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. — Isaiah 30:18 (NASB1995) YAHWEH longs to show us His love and compassion. May we desire His Presence more than anything this world has to offer. Long for His will and His good plans. See what great love the Father has lavished on us! He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. (Ephesians 1:7-8 NLT) For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, Who works and acts in behalf of the one who gladly waits for Him. (Isaiah 64:4 NLT/AMP) The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is His faithfulness. “ The LORD is my portion ,” says my soul, “ Therefore I have hop

let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; — Hebrews 10:22-23 (NASB1995) Amongst all the distractions of this world, do not be like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. Rely on God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved. (See Hebrews 10:39 NLT&AMP) The LORD says: “My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” (See Hebrews 10:38) Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. (Hebrews 10:35-36 NASB1995) Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your gr

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; — Hebrews 3:1 (NASB1995) He was despised and rejected—  a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
 We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. (Isaiah 53:3-5 NLT) None of our troubles and trials can compare to the sacrifice our loving Savior made for us.  Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:8 NASB1995) You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; (Hebrews 12:4) Isaiah 53:7 (NK

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” — Matthew 2:1-2 (NKJV) Wise men and women still seek the King of kings and the Lord of lords, each and every day. They acknowledge the fact that He is Christ, the Son of the living God. (See Matthew 26:63) In Revelation 1:8, Jesus says:  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (See John 1:29). “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” (See Revelation 5:12 NKJV) In Matthew 2:11, when the wise men had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented g

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. — James 3:17 (NLT) Let your ear be attentive to the wisdom that comes from above. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6 NASB1995) If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 AMP) But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. (James 1:6-8 NLT) Do not

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. — Psalms 100:4 (NASB1995) My soul longs and even yearns for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. (See Psalms 9:1,84:2,10) Psalm 92:13-14 (AMP) says Planted in the house of the LORD, the righteous will flourish in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; Amen. Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his courts. (Psalm 96:8 NLT) May we offer to YAHWEH a humble heart that is open to doing His will. Set your affections on Him. For

Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. — Philippians 3:12 (AMP) In  Luke 10:41 (NLT), Jesus said: “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!” Today, so many things pull for our attention. Don’t let the enemy distract you from the important things with eternal value by keeping you busy with temporary things that will not last through the fire. Instead of fretting about the future or being held back by your past, keep your eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith (See Hebrews 12:2 NLT), and press on! No turning back. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, throu

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You! — Psalm 84:11-12 (NASB1995) The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. (Psalm 25:8 NLT) Let us follow as He leads. His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations.  (See Psalm 100:5) May we stay committed to YAHWEH and His ways. The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. (See Psalm 145:9) Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. (Psalm 37:3 NASB1995) They who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing. (See Psalm 34:10 NASB1995) O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (Psalm 34:8 NASB1995)

Jesus asked them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The [very] Stone which the builders rejected and threw away, has become the Chief Cornerstone; This is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous and wonderful in our eyes’? — Matthew 21:42 (AMP) “Therefore thus says the Lord God, “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.” (Isaiah 28:16 NASB1995) In Christ, we have a firm foundation. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:11NLT) So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, (Ephesians 2:19-20 NASB1995) He who believes in Him, trusts in Him, and relies on Him will never be disappointed. This precious value, then, is for you who b

How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel), whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever, — Psalm 146:5-6 (AMP) Our help is in the name of the LORD… (See Psalm 124:8 NKJV) YAHWEH! He executes justice for the oppressed, and gives food to the hungry. He sets free the prisoners. The LORD opens the eyes of the blind and lifts up those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous [the upright in heart]. (See Psalm 146:7-8 AMP) The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and you're coming in from this time forth and forever. (Psalms 121:7-8 NASB1995) You who [reverently] fear the LORD, trust in LORD; He is their help and their shield. (Psalm 115:11 AMP)  The LORD is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield; My heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly

So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” — Genesis 28:11, 16 (NKJV) When you come to a certain place in life, actually, to any place you find yourself, you can be confident that the LORD is in that place with you. “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid... for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV) YAHWEH has enclosed you behind and before, and [He has] placed His hand upon you. (See Psalm 139:5 AMP) Psalm 139:7-10 says: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; 
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost pa

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. — 1 Peter 5:8 (NASB1995) Our enemy has waged war on all who obey the commandments of God and maintain their testimony for Jesus. (See Revelation 12:17) We need to be alert and cautious at all times. The Message Bible says: The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. (1 Peter 5:8)  Be strong in the Lord. Draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (See Ephesians 6:10-12)

Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, relies on) Me [as Savior] will live even if he dies;”  — John 11:25 (AMP) Believe, trust in and rely on the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (See John 1:29) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13 NKJV) “for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.” (Romans 14:8-9 NASB1995) Believe and receive Yeshua, as your Lord and Savior and follow Him all the days of your life. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great e

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. — Romans 5:3-4 (NKJV) Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. (1 Peter 4:12 NLT) For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18 NASB1995) …if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. (Romans 8:25 NASB1995) And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. (Romans 8:28 AMP) Amen.

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33 (NASB1995) Jesus said; we “ may ” have peace. What will bring about this peace or lack of it? What we choose to give our attention to is the deciding factor. If our thoughts are problem-centered, frustration, anxiety and fear will follow. As we focus on God's Presence with us, we will experience peace. Isaiah 26:3 (AMP) says, the LORD will keep in perfect and constant peace the one who’s mind is committed and focused on Him. Philippians 4:6 (NLT) says: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Basically, cast all your cares upon the LORD, and be thankful. As you put this verse into action, Philippians 4:7 (NLT) says: Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you

So the men came to Jesus and said, “John the Baptist sent us to You to ask, ‘Are You the Expected One (the Messiah), or should we look for someone else?’” — Luke 7:20 (AMP) John the Baptist was the voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD…” (See Matthew 3:1-3) In Matthew 3:13-14, Jesus came to John to be baptized by him and John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” However, as John sat in prison, he sent men to ask Jesus if He was the Expected One. In the midst of adverse circumstances, never doubt or wonder if Jesus is the One. James 1:6 says, the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. Believers stand strong in faith, trusting God in all situations. In Luke 7:22 (NASB1995), Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poo

“ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. ” — Psalms 32:8 (AMP) YAHWEH is faithful to instruct us and show us the way to go. Let us be willing to learn. For this is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even until death. (Psalm 48:14 AMP) This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow. (Isaiah 48:17 NLT) The LORD makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters. He will even make a roadway in the wilderness. He will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (See Isaiah 43:16,19 NASB1995 & NLT) Instead of trying to figure things out on your own, trust YAHWEH to lead you and guide you through each and every situation. Keep your ears tuned in to His voice and listen to what He speaks to your heart.   I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to y

And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” — Luke 9:18 (NASB1995) First Jesus asked His disciples “ Who do the people say that I am? ” Then, He asked them: “But who do you say that I am?” (See Luke 9:20) We can listen to what others say about Jesus, but it is a matter of life and death, for us to know Who He is for ourselves, to have that one-to-One, intimate relationship with Him. Peter answered and said He is “The Christ of God.” Luke 9:56 says, He is the Son of Man who did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them. In John 4:25-26, He is the Messiah, who is called Christ. In John 1:29, He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! In John 10:7, He is the Door (or gate) for the sheep leading to life. In John 10:11, Jesus is the good Shepherd, Who gives His life for the sheep. In Job 19:25, He is the living Redeemer, Who will take His stand on the earth. In John 1

And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” — 2 Corinthians 6:16 (NLT) See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (See 1 John 3:1a NIV) We are also temples of the living God. …we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. (2 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV) We were once darkness, but now we are light in the Lord. “So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord, “And do not touch what is unclean; and I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor], and I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18 AMP) Our Heavenly Father has called us and chosen us to be a people for Himself, holy and set apart. Embrace the n

Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. — Ephesians 5:2 (NLT) What fragrance are you releasing? The world or the flesh (pride, arrogance and selfishness)? Believers are to be a pleasing aroma to God. We are a life-giving perfume, as we follow the example of Christ. Children of God are to walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God, a sweet fragrance. (See Ephesians 5:2 AMP) ...thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is a

God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in time of trouble— more than enough and always available whenever I need you. So we will never fear even if every structure of support were to crumble away. We will not fear even when the earth quakes and shakes, moving mountains and casting them into the sea. For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves cannot erode our faith in you. Pause in his presence — Psalms 46:1-3 (TPT) God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], (See Psalm 46:1 AMP ). He is a very present, powerful and well-proven help in times of trouble. He is El Shaddai, the all sufficient One. He is more than enough and the source of all our blessings. In the midst of natural disasters, government instability, or cultural chaos, have no fear and do not be anxious. Nothing is too difficult for YAHWEH to handle. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His nam

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. — James 1:17 (NASB1995) Our heavenly Father is abundantly gracious and extremely generous. May we never forget the good things He does for us. The most perfect gift He gives us is Himself. In Hebrews 13:5 (NLT), God has said, “ I will never fail you. I will never abandon you. ” His Presence is our greatest blessing and benefit. In Matthew 28:20 (NLT), Jesus says: “ And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. ” He is Immanuel, “ God With Us ”. When all others desert you, the Lord will stand with you. (See 2 Timothy 4:16-17) In His Presence is fullness of joy (See Psalm 16:11) and a peace which reassures the heart and transcends all understanding (See Philippians 4:7 AMP). In His Presence, He gives us power, strength and protection. (See Isaiah 40:29 & 2 Samuel 22:3 NLT) Thanks be to God for His indescribabl
