Manna for Your Morning

“I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” — Isaiah 44:22 (NLT) This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it. (Isaiah 30:15 NLT) Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously. (Isaiah 55:7 NLT) “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue with its maker? (See Isaiah 45:9) Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. (Acts 3:19-20 NLT)

This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel and your Creator: “Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands? I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command. — Isaiah 45:11-12 (NLT) We belong to Yahweh, our Maker and Redeemer. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:4-5 NLT) He chose us and He also helps us. We are never forgotten. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (See Hebrews 13:5) No matter what you are going through today, know that He is with you and He will deliver you.  This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD you...

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from Me,” says the LORD. — Isaiah 54:17 (AMP) ‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’ (Isaiah 41:10 AMP) “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2 NLT) When opposition, challenges and difficulties come, do not fear because the LORD our God, the Holy One of Israel is with us. He is mighty to save.

A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], but the LORD directs his steps and establishes them. — Proverbs 16:9 (AMP) You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail. (Proverbs 19:21 NLT) “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,” says the LORD, “plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before you drew your first breath. (See Psalms 139:16) We see in part (a very small part), but Yahweh sees the whole picture. Let us humbly submit to Yahweh and His will for us, knowing that His plans for us are good. He will guide you with His counsel, and lead you to a glorious destiny. (See Psalms 73:24 NLT)

“Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High; Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.” — Psalms 50:14-15 (NASB1995) Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing. (Psalms 107:21-22 NKJV) And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it of your own free will. (Leviticus 22:29 NKJV) in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 AMP) Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good, for His lovingkindness endures forever. (Psalms 136:1 LSB) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. (Psalms 69:30 NKJV) saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might...

“casting 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].” — 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], on those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness, to rescue their lives from death and keep them alive in famine. (Psalms 33:18-19 AMP) The one who watches over you never slumbers or sleeps. When you cast your cares and concerns on the LORD, let go of them and leave them there with Him, the One who is able to handle them. Nothing is too difficult for our great and mighty GOD. Take comfort and be at peace knowing that the LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (See Psalms 121:8 NLT)
