Manna for Your Morning

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” — Matthew 6:19-21 (NLT) Evil people may have piles of money and may store away mounds of clothing, but what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes away their life? (See Job 27:16 & 27:8 NLT) Continually striving to gain satisfaction or security by acquiring material possessions leads to stress and anxiety. Seek the Kingdom of God (on a daily basis), above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (See Matthew 6:33 NLT)  “ He who leans on and trusts in and is confident in his riches will fall, but the righteous [who trust in God’s provision] will flourish like a green leaf. ” — Proverbs 11:28 (AMP)

I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! — Psalms 121:1-2 (NLT) “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be dismayed… With him (our enemy) is only an arm of flesh, but with us is Yahweh our God to help us and to fight our battles.” (See 2 Chronicles 32:7-8 LSB)  “For I am Yahweh your God, who strongly takes hold of your right hand, Who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’” (Isaiah 41:13 LSB) We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. (Psalms 33:20 NLT) Yahweh is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me. (Psalms 118:7 LSB) If Yahweh had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in Yahweh his God, (Psalms 94:17 & 146:5 LSB). The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace. (Psalms 29:11 NLT) The LORD will guard your going ou...

Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. — 1 Corinthians 9:24-26 (NLT) Let us run to win, by laying aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (See Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV) Press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (See Philippians 3:14 NLT)

King David said this about him: ‘I see that the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave. You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’ — Acts 2:25-28 (NLT)  In Acts 13:52 (NLT), the believers were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. As disciples of Yeshua the Christ, may we be filled with joy and with the Holy Sprit. The LORD will show you the path of life; In His presence is fullness of joy; At His right hand are pleasures forevermore. (See Psalms 16:11 NKJV) In Isaiah 43:2 (NLT), the LORD says: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.

For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God]. Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. — 1 John 5:4-5 (AMP) I encourage you to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. (See 2 Timothy 4:7) Remember that the battle belongs to the LORD and the war has already been won. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4 NKJV) …we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. (See Romans 8:37 AMP)
