Manna for Your Morning

He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” — 2 Chronicles 20:15 (NLT) The battles we face belong to Yahweh. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalms 46:1 NKJV) 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) For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12 NLT)

There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. — Proverbs 14:12 (NLT) Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose. (Psalms 25:12 NLT) Choose the right path and stick to it. Proverbs 15:21 (NLT) says, a sensible person stays on the right path. The right path leads to life, light, and peace. The path of life leads upward for the wise; they leave the grave behind. (Proverbs 15:24) Those who follow the right path fear the LORD; those who take the wrong path despise him. (Proverbs 14:2) The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” (Psalms 32:8 NLT) “Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.” (Luke 1:78-79 NLT) Jesus said... “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent. — 1 Kings 18:21 (NLT) Don’t hesitate. Decide today to closely follow Yahweh and His Son, Yeshua the Christ. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23 NKJV) Trust in the LORD without wavering. Be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. (See James 1:6 NLT) Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. (Romans 4:20 NLT) May your faith in God, our Savior grow stronger and stronger. “I have followed your commands, which keep me from following cruel and evil people. My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavere...

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says, “The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. On that day the arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed—roots, branches, and all. But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.” — Malachi 4:1-2 (NLT) For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NKJV) Surely He has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5 NKJV)  ...and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and...

And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” — Nehemiah 8:10 (NLT) When are we to be full of joy? First Thessalonians 5:16 (NLT)  tells us to ALWAYS be joyful. Consider every day God gives you as a sacred day to celebrate. It is a gift from above, coming down from the Father of lights. James 1:2-3 (NASB1995) says: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.  So, do not be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength. He will turn your mourning into joyful dancing. He will take away your clothes of mourning and clothe you with joy, that you might sing praises to Him and not be silent. O LORD my God, let us give thanks to You forever! (See Psalms 30:11-12 NLT)

Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might,
 nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.” — Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NKJV) May we seek to truly know and understand Yahweh. Acknowledge and honor Him as the Sovereign God, the all-powerful Creator of the universe. Nothing or no one can compare with the LORD. And He does not change (See Malachi 3:6). He still delights in showing lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth. The LORD has loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness He has drawn you. (See Jeremiah 31:3) He redeems your life from destruction, and crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. (See Psalms 103:4 NKJV) ...each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each ni...
