Manna for Your Morning

Then Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, gave this order to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah: “When you help the Hebrew women as they give birth, watch as they deliver. If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.” But because the midwives feared God, they refused to obey the king’s orders. They allowed the boys to live, too.” — Exodus 1:15-17 (NLT) It is better to fear God rather than man. “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.” (Proverbs 29:25 NKJV) So God was good to the midwives, and the Israelites continued to multiply, growing more and more powerful. And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.” (Exodus 1:20-21 NLT) Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. — Psalms 96:3-4 (NASB1995)

Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” — Psalms 16:1-2 (NLT) “Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” (Psalms 73:25-26 NLT) “LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.” (Psalms 16:5) “I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” (Psalms 16:7-8 NLT) Take refuge in YAHWEH.  For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD bestows grace and favor and honor; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. — Psalms 84:11 (AMP)

“ But I’ll keep coming closer and closer to you, Lord YAHWEH, for your name is good to me. I’ll keep telling the world of your awesome works, my faithful and glorious God! ” — Psalms 73:28 (TPT) In Isaiah 29:13 (NASB1995), the Lord said, “…this people draw near with their words and honor Me with their lip service, but they remove their Ghearts far from Me, and their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote…” Let us draw near to God 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. (See Hebrews 10:22 NASB1995) “Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting.” James (Jacob) 4:8 (TPT) But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge and placed my trust in Him, that I may tell of all Your works. — Psalms 73:28 (AMP)

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me, for my soul finds shelter and safety in You, and in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure until destruction passes by. — Psalms 57:1 (AMP) “O God, how extravagant is your cherishing love! All mankind can find a hiding place under the shadow of your wings.” (Psalms 36:7 TPT) Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. (Psalms 63:7-8 NLT) Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. (Psalms 17:8 NLT) Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude (Psalms 61:4 NLT)

And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled. — Mark 5:18-20 (NKJV) Before his encounter with Yeshua, this man was possessed by an evil spirit. He dwelt among the tombs and whenever he was put into chains and shackles, he snapped the chains from his wrists and smashed the shackles. Day and night he wandered among the burial caves and in the hills, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones. (See Mark 5:1-5) After time with Yeshua, the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, was sitting and clothed and in his right mind… (See Mark 5:15) Yeshua, the Son of the Most High God, brings healing and wholeness into our lives. We are forever changed in ...

A great windstorm arises, and the waves were rushing into the boat. The boat was beginning to fill up. But Yeshua was in the back of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. They wake Him up and say to Him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are perishing?” — Mark 4:37-38 (TLV) What a question! Never think for one second that our mighty Savior doesn’t care about you. In Mark 1:41 (TLV), Yeshua is moved with compassion to touch and heal a man with leprosy. Matthew 9:36 says, when He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. In Mark 4:40, He asked the disciples, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” When you encounter storms of any kind, may you have faith to know that Yeshua, the Prince of Peace is able to calm any storm, just as He did in Mark 4:39. And He cares for us so much that He gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age. (See Galatians 1:4) When the storms of life come, the wicke...
