Manna for Your Morning

Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: — Proverbs 1:20-21 (NLT) Let us open our ears and hear the call of wisdom. She says: “Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise. I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered.” (Proverbs 1:23-25) Those who reject her advice and pay no attention to correction must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes. But all who listen to wisdom will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm. (See Proverbs 1:30-31, 33 NLT)

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. — Song of Solomon 2:4 (NKJV) In Exodus 17:15 (NLT), Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi (which means “the LORD is my banner”). His banner over us is one of love and victory. God gives us victory over the world, our flesh and the devil. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. (2 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV) You have set up a banner for those who fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder—a banner to shield them from attack], a banner that may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. (Psalms 60:4 AMP)  His banner over us is a banner of deliverance and salvation. In that day the heir to David’s throne will be a banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to him, and the land where he lives will be a glorious place. (Isaiah 11:10 NLT)

“I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” — Ezekiel 37:27 (NLT) Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16 NKJV) The dwelling place of Yahweh is with us, believers in King Yeshua. Open the door of your heart to receive Him today. Willingly give Him access to your whole heart. In Hebrews 13:5, He says, He will never leave us or forsake us. In Isaiah 43:1-2 (NLT) He says: “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 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.” And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” — 2 Co...

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33 (NKJV) A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. (Proverbs 17:22 NLT) Be of good cheer. In our Lord and Savior, Yeshua, we can have perfect peace and fullness of joy. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalms 46:1 NKJV) Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. (Psalms 94:17-19 NLT) “You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth.” — Psalms 71:20 (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) “The LORD is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. 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 145:8-10 NLT) Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (Psalms 145:18 LSB) May we be faithful followers of our mighty GOD, an d His Son, King Yeshua.  He is the way, the truth, and the life. (See John 14:6)  I will praise the LORD, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. — Psalms 145:21 (NLT)

The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, — 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (AMP) May we renew our minds with the Word of God and cast down every argument and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Our weapon is the Word of God. (See Ephesians 6:17) ...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in...
