Manna for Your Morning

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.  — James 1:17 (NASB1995) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32 NKJV) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God. (1 Corinthians 2:12 AMP) The payoff for a life of sin is death, but God is offering us a free gift—eternal life through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, the Liberating King. (Romans 6:23 VOICE) For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV) Thanks be to Yahweh for His indescribable gift! Receive His gift today.  Great is the goodness and generosity of Yahweh. He has freely giv...

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the abundance of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. — Psalms 51:1-2 (LSB) Psalms 51:10 (TPT) says: “Keep creating in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.” Our sanctification is a continual process. Let us confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (See 1 John 1:9-10 NKJV) May we renew our minds with the Holy Scriptures and stand ready to please Him, above all others, including ourselves. …“The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, ab...

“Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also.” — Matthew 6:19-21 (AMP) Matthew 6:21 (TPT) says: “…your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure.” So, love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. (See Matthew 22:37) May we value God’s Presence with us as our greatest treasure. When He says, “Seek My face,” may our hearts say to Him, “Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.” (See Psalms 27:8) Passionately pursue a deep and intimate relationship with our eternal God and Father. Isaiah 33:6 (AMP) says: The fear of the LORD is your treasure.  Also, treasure His Word in your heart, that you may not si...

“ God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it? ” — Numbers 23:19 (AMP) Jeremiah 32:17 (LSB) says: “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You…” As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; (See Psalms 18:30) We can be certain that the word which Yahweh speaks will come to pass. In Isaiah 55:11 (LSB) He says: “So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what pleases Me, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appro...

But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. — Isaiah 64:8 (LSB) How foolish can you be? He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay! 
Should the created thing say of the one who made it, “He didn’t make me”? “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’ (See Isaiah 29:16 & 45:9 NLT) This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel and your Creator: “Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands? I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command.” (Isaiah 45:11-12 NLT) “Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” (See Hebrews 3:15 NKJV) May our hearts be soft and pliable in the ha...

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” — Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) If you want to be kept in perfect and constant peace, focus your mind on Yahweh in both inclination and character. Dedicate your heart and mind to Him. Trust in Him and take refuge in Him. (See Isaiah 26:3-4 AMP/VOICE) Instead of being mentally and emotionally consumed and distracted with problems and obstacles, think about His Presence with you wherever you go. Meditate on His goodness and faithfulness to fulfill every promise He has spoken. With Him is everlasting strength and stability. He is our hiding place; He preserves us from trouble; He surrounds us with songs of deliverance. Selah. (See Psalms 32:7) The eternal God is our refuge and dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; (See Deuteronomy 33:27 AMP).  “Trust in Yahweh forever, for in Yah—Yahweh Himself—we have an everlasting Rock.” — Isaiah 26:4 (LSB)

And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. — Romans 8:28 (AMP) One thing this verse tells us, is that Yahweh is deeply concerned about us. He watches over us continually to lead us and guide us along on the path that leads to life. He didn’t create us to abandon us. He is attentively involved in the details of our lives. The second take away from this verse is that our heavenly Father has a plan. And Jeremiah 29:11 says, His plan for us is for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. And third, we need to love Yahweh, and put Him first in all we do; Honor Him in our speech and our behavior. We also need to be called according to His plan and purpose, instead of running our own agenda, and we can be confident that He will cause all things to work together for good.  

It is good to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness by night, — Psalms 92:1-2 (LSB) O Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who displays Your splendor above the heavens!  When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established; What is man that You remember him,
and the son of man that You care for him? (Psalms 8:1, 3-4 LSB) Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, O my soul! I will praise Yahweh throughout my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. (Psalms 146:1-2 LSB) My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up. (Psalms 5:3 NKJV) “Let the dawning day bring me revelation of your tender, unfailing love. Give me light for my path and teach me, for I trust in you.” (Psalms 143:8 TPT) Sing praise to Yahweh, you His holy ones, and give thanks for the re...

Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the LORD heard everything they said. Then the LORD’s anger blazed against them, and he sent a fire to rage among them, and he destroyed some of the people in the outskirts of the camp. — Numbers 11:1 (NLT) Complaining is unproductive, and it spreads negativity into the atmosphere. Instead of complaining, grumbling and murmuring about momentary afflictions and trials, bless the everlasting God, at all times. Let His praise continually flow from your mouth. (See Psalms 34:1) Hope continually, and praise Him yet more and more. (See Psalms 71:14) May the fruit of our lips, give thanks to His name forevermore. (See Hebrews 13:15) Keep trusting Yahweh to work everything together for good as you patiently endure troubles, hardships and calamities of every kind. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, ...

A mind focused on the flesh is doomed to death, but a mind focused on the Spirit will find full life and complete peace. — Romans 8:6 (VOICE) May we be led by the Holy Spirit in our thoughts and actions. …for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever. (Romans 8:13 AMP) “For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.” (Romans 8:8-9 TPT) And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. (Romans 8:2 NLT)

For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. — Psalms 18:39 (NKJV) Psalms 27:1 says, the LORD is the strength of my life… You can be certain that God has armed you with strength for whatever battles you face today. For who is God, but Yahweh? And who is a rock, except our God, the God who girds me with strength and makes my way blameless? He makes my feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me upon my high places. (Psalms 18:31-33 LSB) The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God! (See Psalms 68:35 NKJV) So be strong in the Lord. Draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him. (See Ephesians 6:10 AMP) “Shine and make your joyful boast in him, you lovers of God. Let’s be happy and keep rejoicing no matter what. Seek more of his strength! Seek more of him! Let’s always be seeking the light of his face.” — Psalms 105:3-4 (TPT)   

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them: Yahweh bless you, and keep you; Yahweh make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; Yahweh lift up His face on you, and give you peace.’ — Numbers 6:22-26 (LSB) Yahweh sat enthroned over the flood; Indeed, Yahweh sits as King forever. Yahweh will give strength to His people; Yahweh will bless His people with peace. (Psalms 29:10-11 LSB) Our heavenly Father is rich in grace and has a heart to bless His people. And our greatest blessing is His Presence with us. Hebrews 11:6 (AMP) says: …whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience], who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. (Psalms 128:1 AMP) May Yahweh give you increase, ...

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. — Romans 12:2 (AMP) In order to recognize the lies of the devil, we need to renew our minds with the Word of God, which is truth. Once armed with truth… “We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.” (2 Corinthians 10:5 TPT) We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy f...

I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: — Lamentations 3:20-21 (NLT) The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” The LORD is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. (Lamentations 3:22-25 NLT) So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD! (Psalms 31:24 NLT) No matter what troubles or calamities come your way, dare to hope in Yahweh, the Everlasting, Almighty God, the great “I AM.” And your hope will not be disappointed.

But one has [solemnly] testified somewhere [in Scripture], saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him, or the son of man, that You graciously care for him? — Hebrews 2:6 (AMP) Never listen to the lies of the enemy. Yahweh has not forgotten about you. He has not abandoned you. For He Himself has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless]…” (See Hebrews 13:5 AMP) Yahweh is so attentive to you, He knows how many hairs you have on your head. Take comfort in His Presence and be strengthened. He is with you and His light will guide you in the way you are to go. “Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.” — Psalms 139:17-18 (TPT)

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to stumble; He who keeps you will not slumber. — Psalms 121:1-3 (LSB) Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. (Psalm 54:4 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) So take comfort and be encouraged. We can confidently say, “The LORD is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?” (See Hebrews 13:6 AMP) The LORD is my strength and my [impenetrable] shield; My heart trusts [with unwavering confidence] in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, 
and with my song I shall thank Him and praise Him. — Psalms 28:7...

Don’t run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And true patience brought on by endurance will equip you to complete the long journey and cross the finish line—mature, complete, and wanting nothing. — James 1:2-4 (VOICE) In the midst of every difficulty and challenge continue to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. (See 2 Timothy 4:7 NKJV) …thanks be to God, who keeps giving us the victory through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah! (1 Corinthians 15:57 TLV)

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. — Philippians 4:6-7 (AMP) Don’t worry, nor be anxious. Instead, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, and cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (See 1 Peter 5:6-7). In John 16:33 (VOICE), Yeshua, the Prince of Peace said: “I have told you these things so that you will be whole and at peace. In this world, you will be plagued with times of trouble, but you need not fear; I have triumphed over this corrupt world order.” Never let the enemy steal your peace. For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome ...

But the LORD God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” — Genesis 2:16:17 (NLT) God told Adam they could freely eat of every tree, except one. However, the serpent got Eve to focus on the one thing they lacked, instead of the abundance that was freely given to them by God. (See Genesis 3:1-6) Yahweh is an extremely generous God. His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue, (See 2 Peter 1:3). If it does not pertain to life, it is something that leads to death. Why pursue those things?  Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17 NASB1995) Our Heavenly Father is perfect and He never changes. We can abide in the loving, Father of ligh...

We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. — Psalms 33:20-22 (NLT) “Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint.” (Psalms 33:17 TPT) Trust in Yahweh with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 LSB) Every word of God proves true. He is true to his promises, his word can be trusted, and everything he does is reliable and right.” (See Proverbs 30:5 NLT & Psalms 33:20 TPT) “The Lord alone is our radiant hope and we trust in him with all our hearts. His wraparound presence will strengthen us.” (Psalms 33:20 TPT) From my distress I called upon Yah; Yah answered me and set me in a large place. Yahweh is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me? Yahweh is for me among those who help me; Therefore I will look in triumph on those w...

“So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!” — Romans 8:38-39 (TPT) Consider the kind of extravagant love the Father has lavished on us—He calls us children of God! It’s true; we are His beloved children. And in the same way the world didn’t recognize Him, the world does not recognize us either. (1 John 3:1 VOICE) Whatever you are going through today, know that God’s love is greater and it never fails.

When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O LORD, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].” — Psalms 27:8 (AMP) Seek Yahweh while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to Yahweh,
 and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:6-7 LSB) In Jeremiah 29:13 (NASB1995), the LORD says: “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” So, set your heart to seek Yahweh because He is our greatest need. Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore! (1 Chronicles 16:10-11 NKJV) …they who inquire of Yahweh shall not be in want of any good thing. (See Psalms 34:10 LSB) And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, O Yahweh, have not forsaken tho...

This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalms 118:24 (LSB) We can rejoice in this day because Yahweh is with us, and with God ALL things are possible. (See Matthew 19:26) He will never leave us, nor forsake us. In Isaiah 43:2-3 (TPT), He says: “When you pass through the deep, stormy sea, you can count on me to be there with you. When you pass through raging rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through persecution like fiery flames, you will not be burned; the flames will not harm you, for I am your Savior, Yahweh, your mighty God, the Holy One of Israel!” “ Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand .” — Isaiah 41:10 (TPT)   Amen!

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. — Hebrews 12:2 (NASB1995) Let us look away from all that will distract us and focus our eyes on Yeshua. He is bigger than any challenge or difficulty you face. He is higher than any hurdle blocking your path. Pay attention to the One Who commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him? (See Luke 8:23-25) He gives sight to the blind, and opens the ears of the deaf. In Matthew 14:29-30, Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Yeshua. But when he shifted his focus and saw the effects of the wind, he became frightened and began to sink. Instead of being fearful and letting the storms overtake you, put your faith in Yeshua. He is the real life preserver. He is the Son of God and Savior of the world. Let us hold fast our confession of faith and cling tenaciously to our absolute t...

“ Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. ” — Psalms 46:10 (LSB) When we are too busy doing our own thing, in our own way, to stop and spend time with our heavenly Father, we end up weary and worn out. Before we jump start our day, let us humble ourselves before the Lord and lay our concerns, requests and desires before the One Who has all our days written in His Book. Always seek His will. The closer we draw near to Him, the more likely we are to hear His still small voice, saying “this is the way.” He will empower us to overcome obstacles, climb mountains and withstand the storms of life. Abide in His Presence and be led by the Holy Spirit. “ He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring...

“The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! I trust in the Lord. And I praise him! I trust in the Word of God. And I praise him!” — Psalms 56:9-10 (TPT) When you are afraid, put your trust in Yahweh. In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid… (See Psalms 56:3-4 NASB1995) Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, which will not be shaken but will abide forever. (Psalms 125:1 LSB) Trust also in His Word. He watches over His word to perform it. Forever, His word is settled in heaven [standing firm and unchangeable]. (See Psalms 119:89 AMP) “What harm could man do to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes. My heart overflows with praise to God and for his promises. I will always trust in him.” — Psalms 56:11 (TPT)

“So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison,” — 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 (TPT) Don't despair. Whatever troubles we experience in this life, they are light and momentary. They will eventually come to pass. “Pour out all your worries and stress upon God and leave them there, for He always tenderly cares for you.” (See 1 Peter 5:7 TPT) 7 Since God cares for you with deepest affection, let Him carry all your burdens and worries. (See 1 Peter 5:7 VOICE & AMP)

Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift yourselves up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is He, this King of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah. — Psalms 24:7-10 (LSB) Open your heart to Yahweh and Yeshua the Messiah. Be filled with and led by His Holy Spirit. Open wide your heart and receive His unfailing love, His grace,  His mercy and His perfect peace. …you are a chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (1 Peter 2:9 LSB) “ Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and dense gloom the peoples; But Yahweh will rise upon you, and Hi...

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. — Psalms 46:1 (LSB) Yahweh is with us at all times, and He is always ready to help. Hallelujah! When you receive a bad report from the doctor, the great Physician is with you, and He is your Healer. When you suffer loss and tragedy, He is by your side to carry you through. When you don’t get that job or promotion, He opens another door that no one can shut. Let us rejoice and hold onto hope through the hard times, because our Help, the Mighty God is faithful. Pray at all times, continually seeking His wisdom, guidance, and strength. For the Eternal watches over the righteous, and His ears are attuned to their prayers. He is always listening. (Psalms 34:15 VOICE) The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Interlude — Psalms 46:7 (NLT)

‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself. — Exodus 19:4 (AMP) The continual call of Yahweh is for us to come to Him and stay close to Him, on a daily basis. The call of God in Christ Jesus is an upward call. (See Philippians 3:14) “Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? The Eternal, the Everlasting God, the Creator of the whole world, never gets tired or weary. His wisdom is beyond understanding. God strengthens the weary and gives vitality to those worn down by age and care.” (Isaiah 40:28-29 VOICE)  Even youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, but those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired. (Isaiah 40:30-31 AMP) Entwine your heart with Yahweh and you will ex...

“See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.” — Exodus 23:20 (NLT) Yahweh will lead us safely to the place He has prepared for us. He equips us, provides what we need and puts us in the right position at the right time, to fulfill His purpose and plan for us. However, we must follow His lead. Psalms 91:9-12 (NLT) says: If you make the LORD your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. Bless Yahweh, you His angels, mighty in strength, who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word! Bless Yahweh, all you His hosts, you who serve Him, doing His will. — Psalms 103:20-21 (LSB)

As Pharaoh approached, the people of Israel looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the LORD… But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” — Exodus 14:10, 13-14 (NLT) Time and after time, when His people cried out to the LORD in their trouble, He brought them out of their distresses. In 2 Chronicles 20:15 (NKJV), the LORD said to His people: “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” When the battle rages against you, don't panic, and have no fear for Yahweh is with you. He girds you with strength for the battle (See Psalms 18:39a NASB1995) And He is faithful to bring you through. You overcome because greater is He Who is in you than he who is in the world. (See 1 John 4:4) Even if the enemy is aggressively on your ...

So Moses and Aaron said to all the people of Israel, “By evening you will realize it was the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt. In the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?” — Exodus 16:6-7 (NLT) Whoever or whatever you are murmuring or complaining about, your complaint is against God. He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. (See Daniel 2:21 NKJV) The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all. (Psalms 103:19 NASB1995) Titus 3:2 (NKJV) says to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. Let us embrace the season we are in, and trust Yahweh to work it all together for good. Philippians 2:14-15 (AMP) instructs us to do everything without murmuring or question...

When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea. Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle. — Exodus 13:17-18 (NLT) When I'm driving, my husband and I rarely agree on the shortest or fastest route to our destination. But praise the LORD, on our journey through life, our Heavenly Father is our guide. Yahweh may not always lead you on the shortest route to your destination. However, don’t give in to the temptation to take the shortcut, against God's will. His protection and provision is on the path He has set before you. We should not follow someone else's path, if that is not the way the Holy Spirit is leading us. You are called according to His...

He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness 
for His name’s sake. — Psalms 23:3 (AMP) Yahweh leads us in the paths of righteousness. He shows us the right way to go and the right attitude and actions. Our part is to be obedient and follow Him. Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. (1 John 2:17 NASB1995) So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day]; (Acts 3:...

And Moses said to him, “As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh; the thunder will cease, and there will be hail no longer, that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s. But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear Yahweh God.” — Exodus 9:29-30 (LSB) The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge (See Proverbs 1:7 AMP) “When I had nothing, desperate and defeated, I cried out to the Lord and he heard me, bringing his miracle-deliverance when I needed it most. The angel of Yahweh stooped down to listen as I prayed, encircling me, empowering me, and showing me how to escape. He will do this for everyone who fears God.” (Psalms 34:6-7 TPT) 

And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the LORD.’ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them.” — Exodus 6:2-3 (NLT) He who made the Pleiades and Orion and overturns the shadow of death into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is His name. (Amos 5:8 LSB) The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens and has founded His vaulted dome over the earth; The One who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth; Yahweh is His name.  (Amos 9:6 LSB) Exalt Yahweh our God and worship at the footstool of His feet; Holy is He. Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel was among those who called on His name; They would call upon Yahweh and He would answer them. (Psalms 99:5-6 LSB) Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name; Make known His acts among the peoples. (1 Chronicles 16:...

And Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sufferings.” — Exodus 3:7 (LSB) God spoke these words to Moses when the Israelites were enslaved. However, when you are in the midst of hardships and difficulties, know that our heavenly Father still sees the affliction of His people today. He knows every heartache and sees every tear that rolls down your face. If you call upon Him, He hears. Psalms 18:6 (LSB) says: In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry for help before Him came into His ears. Not only does He hear the righteous when they cry for help, He also delivers them out of all their troubles. (See Psalms 34:17) There is no obstacle too hard for our great God to handle. He is Jehovah-Nissi, the LORD our Banner of Victory. Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ. (See 2 Corinthian...

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision. — Joel 3:14 (LSB) Each person must decide for themselves. Yahweh has set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days… (See Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NASB1995) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him, for “Whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13 LSB) May we not be of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul. (See Hebrews 10:39) Press on toward the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua.  Yahweh is righteous in all His ways and holy in all His works. Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him, to all who ca...

“Meanwhile, the people of Israel settled in the region of Goshen in Egypt. There they acquired property, and they were fruitful, and their population grew rapidly.” — Genesis 47:27 (NLT) What an amazing and faithful God! Yahweh caused His people to multiply and be fruitful in the midst of a severe famine. After the Egyptians ran out of money to buy food, they exchanged their livestock and cattle. Then, they sold their land because the famine was so severe. Eventually they became Pharaoh’s servants. (See Genesis 47:14-25) At the same time, God caused His people to prosper in Goshen. Yahweh shows Himself faithful to the word He spoke to Jacob in Genesis 46:3 (NLT). Before Jacob arrived in Egypt, God said to Jacob: “I am God, the God of your father,” the voice said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great nation.” May we not fix our eyes on external circumstances, but always look to our great and awesome God. He is our Source and His supply i...

Joseph was still in his palace when Judah and his brothers arrived, and they fell to the ground before him. — Genesis 44:14 (NLT) Joseph was in “his” palace. Only a great and mighty God can take someone from a pit, to a prison, and then to a palace. Hallelujah! God sent him ahead of his family to preserve their lives. (See Genesis 45:5) Joseph was in a position to give his father and brothers the very best land in Egypt. (See Genesis 45:18) Don’t despair when others do you wrong. For the LORD knows the plans He has for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) He causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (See Romans 8:28 NLT) Our great God is a God of restoration. He is able to restore what the enemy has stolen, and give you twice as much, like He did with Job. (See Job 42:10) He is able to turn your mourning into joy and make you rejoice afte...

Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre. He is the One who covers the heavens with clouds, the One who provides rain for the earth, the One who makes grass to sprout on the mountains, who gives to the animal its food, and to the young ravens which call out. — Psalms 147:7-9 (NASB1995) Worrying does not do any good; who here can claim to add even an hour to his life by worrying? Nor should you worry about clothes. Consider the lilies of the field and how they grow. They do not work or weave or sew, and yet their garments are stunning. (Matthew 6:27-28 VOICE) But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! (Matthew 6:30 LSB) Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Yeshua. (See John 14:1) The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in due time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thin...

The LORD was with Joseph, and he [even though a slave] became a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. — Genesis 39:2 (AMP) When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. He realized that the LORD was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. So He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. Potiphar’s wife began to look at him lustfully. She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her. Eventually, she accused him of attempting to rape her and Joseph was thrown in prison. (See Genesis 39:1-4, 7, 10, 14, 19-20) “But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the LORD made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.” (Genesis 39:21 NLT) “The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The LORD was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.” (Genesis 3...

Then God said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Be fruitful and multiply. You will become a great nation, even many nations. Kings will be among your descendants! — Genesis 35:11 (NLT) Yahweh is God Almighty (Hebrew: El Shaddai). He is all-sufficient, all-bountiful, and all-powerful, the source of all our blessings. He is a God of abundance. In Genesis 36:6-7, Esau took his entire household, along with his livestock and cattle—all the wealth he had acquired in the land of Canaan—and moved away from his brother, Jacob. There was not enough land to support them both because of all the livestock and possessions they had acquired. God not only blessed Jacob, but Esau as well. El Shaddai is the One who takes care of us. Nothing is too difficult for Him to handle. Lord, You have been our dwelling place [our refuge, our sanctuary, our stability] in all generations. Before the mountains were born or before You had given birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Y...

Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, you said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will make you prosper.’ “I am so unworthy of all the loving-kindness and faithfulness that you have showered upon me, your servant. When I crossed this river Jordan years ago, all I had to my name was a staff in my hand, and now I have increased to become two camps!” — Genesis 32:9-10 (TPT) Jacob was gripped with fear to the point of panic, when his messengers told him his brother Esau was coming to meet him with 400 men. (See Genesis 32:6-7 TPT) However, he knew to humble himself and turn to God in prayer. At all times we ought to pray and not lose heart. (See Luke 18:1) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalms 46:1 NASB1995) Jacob first reminded God of the words He had spoken to him. When we stand on the Word of God, we are standing on solid ground because God watches over His word to perform it (See Jeremia...

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah. — Psalms 68:19 (LSB) In 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, the apostle Paul says, they were burdened excessively, beyond their strength, so that they despaired even to live, but he says they learned not to trust in themselves, but in God who raises the dead. Are you weighed down with heavy burdens or overwhelmed by troubles? Cast your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. (Psalms 55:22 LSB) We can trust Him in any and all situations and circumstances. The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. — Psalms 34:17-18 (LSB)

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!” — Genesis 28:16 (NLT) As Jacob journeyed to his uncle Laban’s place, he reached a certain place and spent the night there because the sun had set. Then he had a dream, and behold, a ladder stood on the earth with its top touching heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, Yahweh stood above it and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your seed.” (See Genesis 28:10-13 LSB) Among the promises Yahweh made to Jacob in Genesis 14-15, He promised to be with Jacob, and to keep him. Today, wherever you are on your journey, know that Yahweh is with you. For the ways of a man are before the eyes of Yahweh, and He watches all his tracks. (Proverbs 5:21 LSB) May you be aware of His Presence and follow His guidance. And He will protect you. The Lord is faith...

These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.” — Revelation 17:14 (NASB1995) …God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord— to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11 TLV) Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. (1 John 4:4 AMP) We are a chosen people and have been called out of darkness and into His marvelous light (See 1 Peter 2:9) Let us be faithful to our Redeemer.  “Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to pay back each one according to his deeds. ...

And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide, as it is said this day, “In the mount of Yahweh it will be provided.” — Genesis 22:14 (LSB) Yahweh-Yireh is the LORD, our Provider. Our heavenly Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (See Matthew 6:8) …the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalms 84:11 NASB1995) Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:31-33 NASB1995)
