Manna for Your Morning

So Jesus said again, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am the Door for the sheep [leading to life]. All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them. I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security).” — John 10:7-9 (AMP) Yahweh has set before us an open door which no one is able to shut. As we enter through the Door, we go from the domain of darkness to the Kingdom of light, love and truth. We go from death to everlasting life, and from being sin’s slave to ultimate freedom in Christ. Yeshua is the Door, Who gives us access to a deep, rich, and intimate relationship with Abba Father. Let us enter the Door and draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (See Hebrews 4:16 NASB1995) We are free to choose. Make a dec

For my eyes are toward You, O GOD, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless. — Psalms 141:8 (NASB1995) Instead of looking to the government, a person or yourself, look to Yahweh. In Isaiah 45:22 (NKJV), the LORD says: “ Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. ” Our help comes from the LORD, our Maker. He made the earth and stretched out the heavens. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Whatever you need, “The LORD Will Provide” (See Genesis 22:14). No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (See Psalm 84:11) “O God-Enthroned in heaven, I lift my eyes toward you in worship. The way I love you is like the way a servant wants to please his master, the way a maid waits for the orders of her mistress. We look to you, our God, with passionate longing to please you and discover more of your mercy and grace.” (Psalms‬ ‭123‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭TPT‬) Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things tha

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” — John 8:12 (NASB1995) May we continually walk in the light and live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of Yahweh. Follow Jesus. He is the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Him. (See John 14:6 NASB1995) And indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. (See 1 John 1:5-7 NASB1995)

Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.  — 1 Corinthians 13:13 (TPT) Love never fails. It continues in the face of affliction, betrayal, and persecution. Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. (1 Corinthians 13:4 TPT) Love never stops loving. It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten. (1 Corinthians 13:8 TPT) Second Timothy 2:22 (NLT) says: Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Let all that you do be done with love. (1 Corinthians 16:14 NKJV) The one who doe

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! — Psalms 84:11-12 (NASB1995) The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light… (See Isaiah 9:2 NKJV) God is the fountain of life, the light by which we see. (Psalms 36:9 NLT) The light of the LORD illuminates our darkness. His light reveals truth and shows us the way we are to go. “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1 NASB1995) The LORD is our help and a protective shield around us. (See Psalms 3:3, 33:20) He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. (See Proverbs 30:5 NKJV)  “ ...to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. ” — Malachi 4:2 (NKJV)

They will wage war against the Lamb (Christ), and the Lamb will triumph and conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him and on His side are the called and chosen (elect) and faithful. — Revelation 17:14 (AMP) We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light (See 1 Peter 2:9 NKJV) For at one time we were not God’s people, but now we are. At one time we knew nothing of God’s mercy, because we hadn’t received it yet, but now we are drenched with it! (See 1 Peter 2:10 TPT) Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. (Ephesians 1:4 NLT) Let us be faithful followers of Christ. Our victory is in Him. He has already overcome the world. (See John 16:33)

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? — Psalms 8:3-4 (NLT) Know that you are not forgotten nor forsaken (abandoned). Psalm 139:17-18 (TPT) says: “Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.” Be assured that Yahweh is with you. Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (See 1 Peter 5:7 AMP)

“Don’t call me Naomi,” she responded. “Instead, call me Mara, for the Almighty has made life very bitter for me. I went away full, but the LORD has brought me home empty. Why call me Naomi when the LORD has caused me to suffer and the Almighty has sent such tragedy upon me?” — Ruth 1:20-21 (NLT) In the land of Moab, Naomi’s husband and two sons died. (See Ruth 1:3-5) She returned home to Bethlehem, with her loyal daughter-in-law, Ruth, feeling quite empty. However, Yahweh was not finished with her. In the midst of horrific circumstances, know that God is still at work. He provided a kinsman redeemer named Boaz. Ruth became his wife. The LORD enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son. Then the women of the town said to Naomi, “Praise the LORD, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel. (See Ruth 4:13-14) And indeed, their son, Obed became the grandfather of King David. (See Ruth 4:22) Loss, pain and suffering are part of our li

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) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. (See John 10:10a) It is just as the LORD said to Cain, in Genesis 4:6-7, “Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. (Romans 6:14 NLT) Yeshua came that we may have life, and have it abundantly. (See John 10:10b) So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. (James 4:7-8 NLT) And a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (See James 1:8)

When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been taken captive. Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep. — 1 Samuel 30:3-4 (NASB1995) Further, David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all of them were embittered, each man for his sons and daughters. But David felt strengthened and encouraged in the LORD his God. (1 Samuel 30:6 AMP) When all seems lost, encourage yourself in Yahweh and your strength will be renewed. Psalm 29:11 (LSB) says: Yahweh will give strength to His people…  In 1 Samuel 30:8, David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD said to him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and you will surely rescue all.” So David pursued and recovered all (See 1 Samuel 30:18 NASB1995) Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving stre

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. — Psalms 63:3-5 (NASB1995) “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth (faithfulness);” (See Exodus 34:6 AMP) It is because of the LORD’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 AMP) How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 36:7 NLT) What great love the Father has lavished on us, that we would be called children of God! It is good to proclaim His unfailing love in the morning, His faithfulness in the evening. (See Psalm 92:2 NLT) Bless the LORD, Who redeems your life from

Your godly ones will thank you no matter what happens. For they choose and cherish your presence above everything else! — Psalms 140:13 (TPT) What a great honor and absolute privilege that we get to dwell in the Presence of Almighty God. For He is the LORD Most High over all the earth; He is exalted far above all gods. (See Psalms 97:9 AMP) Let us choose and cherish His Presence over all others. Let nothing in this world stop you from pursuing His Presence. May we regard it as our highest priority and most significant blessing as children of God.  In His Presence, there is everlasting peace flowing like a river. There is an unlimited supply of His unfailing love, which He continually lavishes upon us. In His presence is fullness of joy; (See Psalms 16:11) Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, and give thanks to His holy name. (Psalms 97:12 NASB1995) Come to Him and He will give you rest. …repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may

The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! — Psalms 56:9 (TPT) Know that God is for you. He is not against you. The plans and thoughts He has for you are for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) Trust in the Lord and praise Him! Trust in the Word of God. What harm can man do to you? With God on your side, you shall not be afraid of what may come. May your heart overflow with praise to God and for his promises. Always trust in him.”(See Psalms 56:10-11 TPT) Psalms 118:7-8 (AMP) says: The LORD is on my side, He is among those who help me; Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

I will bless Yahweh at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul will make its boast in Yahweh; The humble will hear it and rejoice. O magnify Yahweh with me, and let us exalt His name together. — Psalm 34:1-3 (LSB) O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing. (Psalm 34:9-10 NASB1995) Yahweh is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the evils against the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. (Psalm 34:18-19 LSB) Hallelujah! The lovingkindness of God endures all day long. Trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever. (See Psalm 52:1,8) Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah (Psalm 68:19)

Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. — Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT) Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. (Psalm 146:3 NLT) Our help comes from the LORD. (See Psalm 121:2) Let us hope in YAHWEH from this time forth and forever, no matter how circumstances may appear. How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; Who keeps faith forever; Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free. (Psalm 146:5-7 NASB1995) Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalm 31:24 NKJV) He will give you the strength to take the road He has for you to follow. Trust Him.

Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. — Colossians 3:15 (AMP) If children of God are called to live in peace, why do so many let the enemy keep them anxious and stressed out, or have relationships that continually involve strife? Philippians 4:6-7 (TPT) says: Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. He has given us His peace. In John 14:27 (NASB1995) Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your

Then Goliath, a Philistine champion from Gath, came out of the Philistine ranks to face the forces of Israel. He was over nine feet tall! Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites. “Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! — 1 Samuel 17:4, 8 (NLT) When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. (1 Samuel 17:11 NASB1995) However, when David heard the taunt of Goliath, he volunteered to go and fight the Philistine (See 1 Samuel 17:32) David had confidence that the LORD who delivered him from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, would also deliver him from the hand of the Philistine. Don’t be like the Israelites and cower in discouragement and fear, when the enemy taunts you with his lies. Instead, be like David, and face your enemy in the name of the LORD of hosts (See 1 Samuel 17:4

As for me, I look to the LORD for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. — Micah 7:7-8 (NLT) In any and all circumstances, look to the LORD for help. Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option. We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 TPT) In the midst of all the challenges we go through in this life, our mighty God is with us. He is El Elyon, the Most High God. He is above our enemies, and over every trial, and temptation. His power finds its full expression through our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9 TPT) Yahweh is able to give us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; (See Isaiah 61:3) And He has provided

…Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]. — Hebrews 3:6 (AMP) Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we confessed [as ours when we accepted Him as Savior], namely, Jesus; (Hebrews 3:1 AMP) Fix your thoughts on Him. Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12 NASB1995) We are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved. (See Hebrews 10:39 NLT) Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; (Hebrews 10:23 NASB1995) So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the heaven

God made the wild animals according to their species, the livestock according to their species, and everything that crawls on the ground, each according to its species. And God saw that it was good. — Genesis 1:25 (TLV) As I learned about the elephants yesterday, I was once again, amazed at how great our God is. He created such a wide variety of animals and gave each one exactly what they needed to survive the environment He placed them in. He also made every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, and determined our appointed times and the boundaries of our habitation. (See Acts 17:26) Just as He provides for the animals, He continually provides for all of our needs and equips us to live on the earth for such a time as this. He will supply all we need for the environment and current conditions we deal with in the world today. He is a good, faithful and loving Father, Who always takes care of His children. Amen. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them th

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. — Psalms 23:4 (NLT) No matter what you are walking through today, know that YAHWEH is close beside you. In Isaiah 41:13 He says: “For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’” What the enemy means for evil against you, the LORD is able to work it all together for good. He restores and revives your life. He opens before you the right path and leads you along in His footsteps of righteousness so that you can bring honor to His name. (See Psalm 23:3 TPT)

“ May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge. ” — Ruth 2:12 (NASB1995) Ruth decided to stay with her mother-in-law, Naomi, and committed her life to Yahweh and was truly blessed. Believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (See Hebrews 11:6 NLT) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalms 46:1 NASB1995) Let us take refuge in Him. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. (Psalms 91:2 NLT) The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude (Psalms 46:7 NLT) On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. — Psalms 62:7-8 (NASB1995)

Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, Give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. — Psalm 29:1-2 (NKJV) O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! (Psalm 8:1 NASB1995) I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart; I will recount all Your wondrous deeds. I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. (Psalm 9:1-2 LSB) And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not abandoned those who seek You. (Psalm 9:10 AMP) Rely on the Most High God. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Then his father and his mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she looks good to me.” — Judges 14:3 (NASB1995) Everything that looks good to us, is not necessarily good for us. Genesis 3:6 says: Eve saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, and we see the result of that situation. O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (Psalm 34:8) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. (1 John 2:16) Therefore, Hebrews 12:1-2 tells us to fix our eyes on Jesus and run  with endurance the race that is set before us.  May we profess, as King David did in Psalm 101:3 (AMP), “ I will

Through our faith, the mighty power of God constantly guards us until our full salvation is ready to be revealed in the last time. May the thought of this cause you to jump for joy, even though lately you’ve had to put up with the grief of many trials. — 1 Peter 1:5-6 (TPT) We can jump for joy because our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. (See 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NLT) We can be filled with peace and joy knowing that the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. (See 2 Thessalonians 3:3 NLT)

You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures. — Psalms 16:11 (CSB) When Yahweh reveals the right path to us, we have to have eyes to see. We need a heart that is seeking for Him. And our minds need to be set on doing His will. If we go through life just following the ways of this world and its man-made traditions, we have blinders on that will hinder our ability to see the path of life. The ways of this world will take us down the wide path that leads to deep pits, dead ends, destruction and death. Our enemy only comes to steal, kill and destroy. But Yeshua came that we may have life and have it in abundance. (See John 10:10)

“Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The LORD brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.” Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” — Judges 6:13-14 (NLT) Instead of wondering why all the current events are happening in the world today, let us press on, with the strength we have. Surely, Yahweh will be with us, and equip us for the task He has given us to do. The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger. (Job 17:9 NLT)

Just as mortals are appointed to die once and then to experience a judgment, so the Anointed One, our Liberating King, was offered once in death to bear the sins of many and will appear a second time, not to deal again with sin, but to rescue those who eagerly await His return. — Hebrews 9:27-28 (VOICE) What a glorious destination we have in Christ. Eagerly and confidently wait for His return. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NASB1995) Glory hallelujah! Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul

O taste and see that the LORD [our God] is good; How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him. — Psalm 34:8 (AMP) YAHWEH is good and His plans for us are good. Anyone who puts trust in Him will be blessed and comforted. (See Psalm 34:8 VOICE) So we have no reason to despair. Despite the fact that our outer humanity is falling apart and decaying, our inner humanity is breathing in new life every day. You see, the short-lived pains of this life are creating for us an eternal glory that does not compare to anything we know here. (2 Corinthians 4:16-17 VOICE) It is because of the LORD’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 AMP) 

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. — Hebrews 12:2 (NASB1995) The circumstances of the world we live in, are constantly changing. We can get caught up in the confusion, chaos and turmoil or we can keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace and He has already overcome the world. (See Isaiah 9:6 & John 16:33) Let us look away from all that will distract us and fix our eyes on our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ is always the same yesterday and today and forever. (See Hebrews 13:8) In Christ, we have a firm foundation, and Christ Jesus Himself is the chief Cornerstone. (See Ephesians 2:20 AMP) When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation. (Proverbs 10:25 NASB1995) Amen. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, 
a costly cornerston

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. — Proverbs 18:21 (AMP) Let us choose to speak words of life, wisdom, and truth. A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life, but a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit. (Proverbs 15:4 AMP) Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. (Psalms 34:12-14 NLT) Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person. (Colossians 4:6 NASB1995) Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. — Psalms 141:3 (NASB1995)

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. — Psalm 33:10-11 (NKJV) In Jeremiah 18:12 (NLT), the people rejected the Word of the LORD given through Jeremiah. They replied, “Don’t waste your breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following our own evil desires.” Each and every moment of the day, that the good LORD gives us breath, we can choose to follow Him, or follow our own desires. Know that eventually, each person will bear the consequences of their choices, so choose wisely. Stay on the path that leads to life and peace. “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “who execute a plan, but not Mine, and make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, in order to add sin to sin; (Isaiah 30:1 NASB1995) You adulteresses [disloyal sinners—flirting with the world and breaking your vow to God]! Do you not know that being the wo

Yahweh appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; 
Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.” — Jeremiah 31:3 (LSB) The LORD cannot lie and He does not change. He still loves His people with an everlasting love and His faithfulness continues throughout all generations; (See Psalm 119:90a NASB1995) His amazing love never fails. He draws us close to Him with lovingkindness. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 NLT) Amen. And I will betroth you to Me forever; Indeed, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, in lovingkindness and in compassi

Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]. — Hebrews 4:16 (AMP) What an honor and a privilege that we may approach the throne of YAHWEH, at any time. May we humbly approach the throne of grace and choose to abide there. The great “I AM” is always with us, and He alone is Who we need. Let us make sure we are with Him by setting the affection and desires of our hearts upon Him. He has made His wonderful acts to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and merciful and full of loving compassion. (Psalm 111:4 AMP) Surely, He will help us in our time of need. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. (James 4:8 NLT)

Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; — Hebrews 10:23 (NASB1995) Don’t waver, nor wander, nor allow the waves of adversity to toss you to and fro.  …he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) And not being weak in faith, Abraham did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. (See Romans 4:19-21 NKJV) Let us be strengthened in faith, give glory to Yahweh, and live fully convinced in the goodness and faithfulness of our mighty God.

So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth.” — Romans 9:16-17 (NASB1995) In all situations and circumstances, may the name of the LORD God be lifted up. Instead of promoting our own names or the name of our favorite personality, let us declare the name of YAHWEH. He is El Elyon, the Most High God, above all others. I will proclaim the name of the LORD; how glorious is our God! He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is! (Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NLT) He is Elohim, the Creator of all. He chose us to be a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that we may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous ligh

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.   — 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (NLT) In the midst of whatever challenges and hardships we experience in this life, may we learn to rely only on our mighty God, and trust Him at all times. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” (Romans 10:11 NASB1995) Keep pressing on, knowing that with God all things are possible. Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart] that turns away from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12 AMP)

Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. — Romans 12:2 (TPT) Let us regularly renew our minds with the Word of God, so we can be continually transformed from the inside out. The worldly culture focuses on “me, myself and I.” It gives more attention to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. (See 1 John 2:16) So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. (See Romans 8:6 NLT) The Message Bible says: Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. (Romans 8:6-8) Amen.

From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help]. For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. — Psalm 61:2-4 (AMP) Call upon Yahweh. His ear is attentive to the voice of our supplications and He is faithful to answer. He will help you and strengthen you. Our mighty God is an impenetrable fortress to our enemies. Take refuge in Him at all times.

But as for me, I trust in You, O Yahweh, I say, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me. — Psalm 31:14-15 (LSB) Trust in Yahweh. We can take comfort in knowing that our times are in His hand. All of our days were written in His book before one of them came to be, so He has already handled the challenges you face today. And He promises us a glorious destination. Faith and patient endurance is what we need. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. (James 5:11) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. (Psalm 31:7-8 NLT) Oh, love Yahweh, all you His holy ones! Yahweh guards the faithful but repays fully the one who acts in loft

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit. — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NASB1995) Thus says the LORD, “ Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD .” (Jeremiah 17:5 NASB1995) We can position ourselves on the path of blessing or curses. When we trust in people and the power of our own strength, we are planting ourselves on shifting sand. We will eventually be disappointed, weak and hopeless. However, the person who believes and trusts in, and relies on YAHWEH, is planted on the firm foundation of God. They will be blessed, strengthened and full of peace and hope. Now that you have welcomed the Anointed One, Jesus the Lord, into your lives, continue to journey with Him and allow H

What then shall we say in view of these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? — Romans 8:31 (TLV) In view of all the things we go through in this life, we can be confident that YAHWEH is with us and He is for us. We are chosen and called. (See 1 Peter 2:9) Revelation 17:14 says, those who are with the Lamb, the Lord of lords and King of kings, are called, chosen, and faithful. And He has overcome all who make war with Him. God who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (See Romans 8:32, 35 NASB1995) Nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (See Romans 8:38-39) Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious vict

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.” — Psalm 27:8 (NASB1995) How does your heart respond to YAHWEH? In the midst of cares and concerns of this world, is it saying: “there is no room for you, Yeshua”? Is it so cluttered with desires for fame, fortunes, or other material possessions that you don’t even have ears to hear His call? Maybe your heart is so battered and bruised or filled with bitterness, and void of hope, that it fails to respond to the loving call of God at all. Let us seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. (See Psalm 105:4 AMP) Instead of seeking likes on social media sites, seek to hear the words “ Well done, my good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your master. ” (See Matthew 25:21) Instead of trying to make your name great, lift up the name above all names. For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him th

And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (TPT) This Scripture does not say, after the prayer has been answered, or when everything is good, give thanks. However, it does say in the midst of everything, be ALWAYS giving thanks. Whatever you are in the midst of today, continue to give thanks to YAHWEH. He is good and His plans for you are good. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. (Psalm 116:5-8 NASB1995) What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? (Psalm 116:12 NASB1995) May we offer to YAHWEH, a grateful heart and a sacrifice of thanksgiving.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NASB1995) Instead of looking for comfort in the culture of this world, look for comfort in the arms of our heavenly Father and in His Kingdom. Anything of this world that gives us comfort is temporary. It eventually leaves us empty and dry. In the LORD, we have everlasting joy and peace, and a love that never fails. He is faithful and forgiving and full of grace and mercy. Romans 15:5 says, He is the God of patience and comfort. Second Corinthians 7:6 (AMP) says, God comforts and encourages the depressed and the disquieted. No matter what you are going through, may you find comfort in His Presence. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of compassion and God of all

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. — Isaiah 40:28-29 (NASB1995) Do you frantically run around trying to get things done, merely with your human strength? Even youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, but those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired. (Isaiah 40:30-31 NASB1995) Rely on YAHWEH, and receive the strength He gives us each and every day. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:4 NKJV)

Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. — Isaiah 55:6 (NLT) Now is the time to seek YAHWEH. Instead of seeking the temporary things of this world, set your affections on our eternal God, Who continually lavishes His unfailing love upon us. At His right hand are pleasures forevermore. (See Psalm 16:11 NKJV) With a deep longing in your heart, seek Him and require Him as a vital necessity, and you will find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. (See Jeremiah 29:13 AMP) For the eyes of the LORD roam throughout the earth, so that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His…” (2 Chronicles 16:9 NASB) Seek God and He will be found by you. He is not far from each one of us. (See Acts 17:27) The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (See Psalm 145:18) Don't delay! Call upon Him now.

“ So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. ” — Matthew 6:34 (NASB1995) There are two things we know about the troubles we face today. One, they are light and  two, they are momentary (brief and fleeting). Second Corinthians 4:17 (NASB ) says: our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison. You see, the short-lived pains of this life are creating for us an eternal glory that does not compare to anything we know here. (2 Corinthians 4:17 VOICE) For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV) Walk by faith as you deal with today’s challenges, trusting YAHWEH to show you the way through each and every situation. Know this: my God will also fill every need you have according to His glorious riches in Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King. (Philippians 4:19 VOICE)

Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty; the LORD, invincible in battle. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory?  The LORD of Heaven’s Armies— he is the King of glory. Interlude — Psalm 24:8-10 (NLT) Jesus stands at the door and continually knocks. He says: “…if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” (See Revelation 3:20) Open up the door of your heart to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Make it a priority to dine with Him daily. He will calm all your fears and keep you in perfect peace, because He has overcome the world. (See John 16:33) Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. (See 1 John 4:4 AMP)

Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. — Hebrews 12:3 (AMPC) Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we confessed [as ours when we accepted Him as Savior], namely, Jesus; (Hebrews 3:1 AMP) Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. (See Hebrews 12:2 NLT)  So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures. (Hebrews 12:3 TPT) Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he
