Manna for Your Morning

“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) Others may not know the troubles you are going through, but GOD is well aware. He is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. And He comforts us in all our troubles… (See 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT) The Word encourages us to stop relying on ourselves and learn to rely on GOD alone. Today, cast your concerns and cares upon the LORD and trust Him to handle every situation that confronts you. Patiently endure hardship and keep the faith. Be confident that He will deliver you from ALL your troubles (See Psalms 34:17). And as 2 Corinthians 1:10 says, He will continue to rescue you. 

“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” — Matthew 7:13-14 (NLT) Psalms 16:11 (NLT) says, Yahweh will show you the path of life. Choose to enter the narrow gate,  which leads to life . For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. (See Matthew 7:13-14 AMP) In (Matthew 7:21 NLT) King Yeshua says: “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.” (Matthew 7:21 NLT)

“I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.” — Mark 11:24-25 (NLT) King Yeshua goes on to say: “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” (Mark 11:26 NKJV) May we forgive others as our heavenly Father has forgiven us. And do not let any resentment or bitterness take root in your heart. Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.” (Luke 17:3-4 NASB1995)

“Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God.” — Psalms 146:3-5 (NLT) O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.(Psalms 86:5 NLT) So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6) Yes, the LORD is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in people. (Psalms 118:7-8) Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety. (Proverbs 29:25)  We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. (Psalms  33:20) The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. ...

But for us, there is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live. — 1 Corinthians 8:6 (NLT) I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever. I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. (Psalms 145:1-3 NLT) For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all... (See 1 Timothy 2:5-6). God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world. (1 Corinthians 7:23 NLT) Be a faithful follower of Yahweh and His Son, King Yeshua. The LORD is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. All of your works will thank you, LORD, and your faithful followers will praise you. (Psalms 145:9-10 NLT)

LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. — Psalms 16:5 (NLT) 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) Remember the good things Yahweh has done for you. I will bless Yahweh who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. I have set Yahweh continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. (Psalms 16:7-8 LSB) How blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in His ways. (Psalms 128:1 LSB) You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. (Psalms 23:5-6 NLT) What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name fo...
