Manna for Your Morning

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. — 1 Corinthians to 10:13 (NKJV) Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. (James 1:13-14 NKJV) “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41 NKJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) May Yahweh give us the strength and wisdom to always take the way of escape. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. — James...

  Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah — Psalms 68:19 (NKJV) Notice that the Scripture says “ daily ” we are loaded with benefits. It's not every once in a while, but EVERY day that our Heavenly Father loads us with more benefits and blessings than we are able to count. Open your heart to Him and receive them, each and every day. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; (See Lamentations 3:22-23 NASB1995) Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless Yahweh, 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; Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. (Psalms 103:1-5 LSB) What will I give to the LORD [in return] for all His benefits toward me? [How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?] I will l...

Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. — 1 Corinthians 1:7-9 (NLT) Psalms 92:1-2 (NKJV) says: It is good to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night. His faithfulness endures to all generations; (See Psalms 119:90 NKJV) So, we can have unwavering trust and rely on Yahweh with great confidence. Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]. (1 Thessalonians 5:24 AMP) Just as Yahweh is fait...

“ For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts. ” — 1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NLT) Instead of seeking to please people and gain popularity, may we seek to please our Heavenly Father, Who never leaves us nor forsakes us. He created us with a purpose and has good plans for us. Serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. (See 1 Chronicles 28:9 NASB1995) Proverbs 16:7 says: When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. And the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever. (See 1 John 2:17 AMP) “ Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. ” — 1 Thessalonians 4:1...

For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. — 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 (NLT) The life of believers is not about competition. We are all one in Christ and on the same team. May we never compare our lives or ourselves with another person. But continually encourage one another every day, as long as it is called “Today”... (See Hebrews 3:13 AMP). Instead of trying to tear each other down, let us build each other up. See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. (1 Thessalonians 5:15 NLT)

The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, — Acts 17:24-26 (NASB1995) Yahweh gives to ALL people. 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 determined our appointed times, giving each person a time and place to live and thrive. We are here for such a time as this, called according to His purpose and plan. “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. (Acts 17:27 NLT) “ God overl...

“The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.” — Psalms 103:8 (NKJV) All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, to such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. (Psalms 25:10 NKJV) He forgives all our iniquities, heals all our diseases, redeems our lives from destruction, and crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies. (See Psalms 103:3-4) May we draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (See Hebrews 4:16 NASB1995) Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. (Psalms 116:5-6 NKJV) Let us be merciful, just as our Heavenly Father is merciful. (See Luke 6:36)

“For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me.” — Job 3:25 (NKJV) In Job 1:8, the LORD said there was none on the earth like His servant Job. He described him as a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil. God had provided this blessed, safe and prosperous life for Job, but Job still lived with fear and dread. When we fear, we allow the enemy to come and steal, kill and destroy what our heavenly Father has provided for us — peace, love, joy, victory, etc. Let us remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (See 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18 NKJV) “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us].” (Romans 8:37 AMP)

A mob quickly formed against Paul and Silas, and the city officials ordered them stripped and beaten with wooden rods. They were severely beaten, and then they were thrown into prison. The jailer was ordered to make sure they didn’t escape. So the jailer put them into the inner dungeon and clamped their feet in the stocks. — Acts 16:22-24 (NLT) Acts 16:25 says, around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. The Word doesn’t say they were complaining, nor crying out to God “why me?” Instead, they maintained their peace, joy and faith in Yahweh and prayed and praised the God of heaven and earth. Acts 16:26 says, suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials… (See 2 Peter 2:7-9 NLT) However, the prisoners were all accounted for when th...

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. — James 1:12 (NASB) And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:3-5 AMP) And you will be hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name, but it is the one who has patiently persevered and endured to the end who will be saved. — Matthew 10:22 (AMP)

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me. He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah 
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth. — Psalms 57:1-3 (NKJV) Be still, and know that Yahweh is God (the great “I AM”); The One Who performs ALL things for us. He will be exalted among the nations, He will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah (See Psalms 46:10-11 & Exodus 3:13-14 NKJV) Take refuge in the shadow of His wings.

“God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:24 (AMP) “Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.” (Romans 1:20 TPT) “From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24 TPT) All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is Yahweh’s and He rules over the nations. — Psalms 22:27-28 (LSB)

Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. — 1 Peter 4:12 (NLT) In Isaiah 43:2-3 (NASB1995) Yahweh says: “ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...” Notice that the Scripture says “ when ” and not “if.” Know that we will have some flood waters, stormy seas, and fiery furnace experiences. Here on earth we will have many trials and sorrows. (See John 16:33 NLT) However, Yahweh promised to be with you and He is faithful to bring you through it all. The Scripture says you will pass through the water and walk through the fire. These trials and troubles are temporary but our great God is eternal. And nothing, absolutely nothing is too difficult for Him. “ No man will be able to stand before you...

Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. — Isaiah 53:4-6 (NASB1995) May we not be like sheep who stray away from the good Shepherd. As a disciple of Christ, make a decision to follow Yeshua and stay close to Him, at all times. He gave His all for us, let us give our all to Him (our minds, our will, our ways, etc.). Instead of turning to our own way, let us turn to the Word of God. Psalms 119:66-68 (NASB1995) says: Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. You are good and do good; Teach me Y...

Then they brought the apostles before the high council, where the high priest confronted them. “We gave you strict orders never again to teach in this man’s name!” he said. “Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!” But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.” — Acts 5:27-29 (NLT) In Acts 4:18, the apostles were commanded to never again speak or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:19-20 NLT) As the Apostle Peter said: “We must obey God rather than men.” In Luke 12:5 (TPT), Jesus said: “The one you must fear is God, for he has both the power to take your life and the authority to cast your soul into hell. Yes, the only one you need to fear is God.” The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in and puts his confi...

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) …this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the LORD arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.’” (Acts 2:16-21 NLT) “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be save...

“The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.” — John 20:30-31 (NLT) In John 20:29, Jesus told Thomas: “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.” No matter what events take place on this earth, may we continue to believe that Yeshua is the Messiah, and be blessed. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” (Romans 10:11 NASB1995) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; Yeshua came that we may have life, and have it abundantly. (See John 10:10) Amen. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. — Hebrews 11:6 (NLT)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. — Psalms 46:1 (NASB1995) We may have reservations about asking people for help, depending on the nature of the challenge and the type of relationship we have with that person. However, we need never fear going to our Heavenly Father. He is Jehovah Shammah, the God who is always with you. He is with us as an ever-present help. He is El Roi, the God Who Sees you. He knows the anguish of your soul and He has heard your affliction. Trust Yahweh with all your heart. Rely completely on Him, in every situation. In Hebrews 13:5-6 (NASB1995), He said: “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” so that we confidently say, “The LORD is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?” Nothing is too difficult for our great GOD. No fear, no pacing, no biting fingernails. When the earth spins out of control, we are sure and fearless. When mountains crumble and the waters run wild, we are sure and fearless. — P...

When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. — Luke 23:33-34 (NASB1995) Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. (Mark 11:25 NASB1995) In Exodus 34:7, the LORD proclaims that He keeps lovingkindness for thousands, and forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished...  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NASB1995)  Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32) In Matthew 6:14-15, Jesus said: “For if you forgive oth...

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.” — John 6:35 (NASB1995) Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.” Then they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.” (John 6:32-34 NASB1995) May we always desire Yeshua, the Bread of Life. He is the only One Who can fully satisfy our hunger and quench our thirst.  Psalms 104:15 (AMP) says it is bread that sustains and strengthens man’s heart. “Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight in abundance.” (Isaiah 55:2 AMP)

“This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalms 118:24 (LSB)  Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NASB) For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT) No matter what season you are going through, you can rejoice because Yahweh is with you, and He will bring you through. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (See Psalms 139:16 NLT) So, He 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) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. — Psalms 31:7-8 (NLT)

And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” — Luke 22:31-32 (NKJV) Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you; (1 Peter 4:12 NASB) Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8 NASB) May your faith not fail in times of trials, troubles, and temptations. Continue to fight the good fight, finish the course, and keep the faith. (See 2 Timothy 4:7 NASB)

“And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by. And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will .” — Mark 14:35-36 (NASB1995) May we truly desire for the will of Yahweh to be done in our lives and on this earth, even when it may involve some suffering for us. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18 NASB1995) 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) In Matthew 7:21 (NASB1995), Yeshua says: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.” “For whoever does the will of God [by believing in Me, and following Me], he is My brother and sister and...

The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. — Psalms 145:8-9 (NASB1995) Yahweh generously gives us what is good, His grace and glory. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (See Psalms 84:11 NASB1995) He is everything we need. He is El Shaddai, the all-sufficient, all-bountiful, Almighty God. He is the very source of ALL our blessings. He is Elohim, the all-powerful Creator of the universe and all it contains. He formed our innermost parts and knit us together in the womb of our mother. (See Psalms 139:13) He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. He foresees all of our needs. Matthew 6:8 says, our Father knows what we need before we ask Him. “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11 NKJV)  Yahweh is Jehovah Shalom, our peace. He will...

“ Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. ” — Matthew 24:12 (NLT) A quick glimpse of the nightly news will give evidence to the words Yeshua spoke in Matthew 24:12. As those who have been clothed with garments of salvation and wrapped with a robe of righteousness, let us work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.  (See Isaiah 61:10 NASB1995 & Hebrews 12:14 NLT) The greatest of all commandments is to love God and to love our neighbor. (See Matthew 22:37-39) In John 13:34-35, Yeshua says: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Yeshua also instructs His followers to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, so that we may be sons of our Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the rig...

“And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” — Mark 13:13 (NLT) Because Yeshua overcame, as believers and followers of Christ, we too shall overcome. Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. (Hebrews 10:35-37 NASB1995) Make a decision to be faithful to the end and you will be saved. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. (James 5:11 NASB1995) So, don’t grow weary. Patiently persevere.

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) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (John 1:12 NKJV) Believe in Yahweh, believe also in Yeshua. (See John 14:1) In addition to believing, be imitators of God as dear children. (See Ephesians 5:1) And make Him your first love. Know that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (See Romans 8:37-39 NKJV)

For in one place the Scriptures say, “What are mere mortals that you should think about them, or a son of man that you should care for him? Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. — Hebrews 2:6-7 (NLT) Never feel forgotten by your heavenly Father. He is mindful of you. “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) Psalms 139:3 (NASB1995) says, He is intimately acquainted with all your ways. And in Matthew 10:30 (NLT) Yeshua said: “…the very hairs on your head are all numbered.” “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. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” — Is...

Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them. — John 12:35-36 (NLT) Put your trust in King Yeshua, not in man, the government, nor in material riches. In John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭(TPT‬), Jesus said, “I am light to the world, and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.” May we live and walk in the Light. “To all the rich of this world, I command you not to be wrapped in thoughts of pride over your prosperity, or rely on your wealth, for your riches are unreliable and nothing compared to the living God. Trust instead in the one who lavishes upon us all good things, fulfilling our every need.” (1 Timothy 6:17 TPT)

And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him, and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said. — Luke 19:47-48 (NASB1995) May we hang on to every Word Yeshua spoke and also put it into practice in our daily lives. In Matthew 7:24-25 (NASB1995), Yeshua said: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.” Be wise and build on the rock.
