Manna for Your Morning

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

“ I have told you these things so that you will be whole and at peace. In this world, you will be plagued with times of trouble, but you need not fear; I have triumphed over this corrupt world order. ” — John 16:33 (VOICE) Don’t be surprised at the corruption that is rampant in the culture of this world. Know that Jesus has already overcome this world and shared His victory with us. The words Jesus spoke to His disciples is for all believers. They are encouraging words of truth, meant to keep us in peace. When you are plagued by trials, troubles and sorrows, turn to Jesus. Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 AMPC) Be confident that He will show you the way through it all, and help you triumph, in the midst of your troubles. He gives you strength to endure the struggles. Amen.

“ You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. ” — Isaiah 26:3 (AMP) What or who has captured your attention? Don’t fall for the distractions of our enemy or this world. Being distracted away from the LORD, His will and His Word, will cause us to drift in the wrong direction, away from our heavenly Father. With distance, doubt tends to arise and the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the constantly changing conditions and circumstances of this life. However, when we fix our thoughts on Yahweh, and commit to following Him, He will guard our minds and keep us in perfect and constant peace. Those who trust and take refuge in our mighty God will not be shaken by adverse circumstances, because we know the One Who is above it all.

O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His compassion and lovingkindness endure forever! — Psalms 107:1 (AMP) Bless the LORD at all times; Let His praise continually be in your mouth. (See Psalm 34:1) 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) Instead of murmuring, grumbling or disputing; Do everything without complaining and arguing, (Philippians 2:14 NLT). …giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (Ephesians 5:20 NKJV)

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. — Psalm 37:7 (NLT) Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. Their actions are never good. They make no attempt to turn from evil. (Psalm 36:1, 4 NLT) The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead. (Psalm 10:4 NLT) The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God. But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed. (Psalm 9:17-18 NLT) God is NOT dead. Put your hope in the living LORD. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed. (See Psalm 37:34 NLT)  Follow the LORD our God and fear Him. Keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him. (See Deuteronom

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. — 1 Peter 5:6-7 (NASB1995) We first need to humble ourselves, submit to God and trust His timing, to work all things together for good. Then we are able to cast all our cares, all our anxieties, all our worries, and all our concerns, once and for all, on Him, knowing that He cares about us, with deepest affection, and watches over us very carefully. (See 1 Peter 5:7 AMP) Amen.

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. — Psalm 95:1-2 (NKJV) No matter how circumstances may appear, stay true to the LORD, our God. Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34 NKJV) Worship and serve Him only. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. (Psalm 29:2 NKJV) …“ Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed. ” (See Revelation 15:3-4 NLT)

O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. — Psalm 139:1-4 (NLT) There is no need to try to hide anything from Him. Our Heavenly Father is intimately acquainted with all of our ways, and He still lavishes His love upon us. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. (Ephesians 1:7 NLT) In 1 Chronicles 28:9 (NASB1995), King David instructed his son Solomon: “…know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.” May we heed his words of wisdom and seek to know YAHWEH more each day

I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] — Philippians 4:13 (AMP) In Matthew 11:29, Jesus said: “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me…” This indicates a side-by-side, Teacher-student relationship. We need to be teachable, open to learn from the Master. When we yoke ourselves to Jesus, He infuses us with strength to conquer every difficulty, and guides us to our desired destination. (See Philippians 4:13 TPT) The Lord gives us strength to do all that we have been called to do, by our heavenly Father. Be empowered by the grace that is in Jesus, the Anointed One. (See 2 Timothy 2:1 VOICE) In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might. — Ephesia
