Manna for Your Morning

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NASB1995) Do not get discouraged and lose heart, though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. (See 2 Corinthians 4:16) Our lives on this earth are temporary but the lovingkindness of Yahweh endures forever! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Psalms 103:2-4 NASB1995) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. — Psalms 143:8 (NKJV)

The LORD also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble; And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not abandoned those who seek You. — Psalms 9:9-10 (AMP) On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. (Psalms 62:7-8 NASB1995) “Yahweh is good, a strong defense in the day of distress, and He knows those who take refuge in Him.” (Nahum 1:7 LSB) He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. (Psalms 91:4 NASB1995)

For the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is wholly devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.”  — 2 Chronicles 16:9 (LSB) Set your heart and your mind to seek Yahweh, the LORD our God, and to submit to His ways. 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… (See 1 Chronicles 28:9 NASB1995) “For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.” (See 1 Samuel 16:7 LSB) Keep your trust and confidence in Him above all else. 

O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? — Psalms 8:1, 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. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! (Psalms 139:1-6) How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! (Psalms 139:17-18 NLT)  Yahweh has not forgotten ...

“Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.” — James (Jacob) 1:17 (TPT) Yahweh is El Shaddai, the all-sufficient source of all our blessings. He is all-powerful. No situation is too difficult for Him to handle. For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. (Psalms 84:11 NLT) “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven and earth. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion.” (See 2 Chronicles 6:14 NLT) “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or understand, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 LSB)

He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. — Isaiah 40:29-31 (NASB1995) When you need new strength, keep your trust and hope in Yahweh. He gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God! (See Psalms 68:35) “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” (Psalms 55:22 NLT) It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. (Psalms 18:32 NKJV) My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalms 73:26 NKJV) Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah. (Psalms 68:19 LSB)
