Manna for Your Morning

“ So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] LORD [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. ” — Hosea 6:3a (AMP) Let us press on to know the LORD. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared [with awe-filled reverence] above all gods. (1 Chronicles 16:25 AMP) For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him], and the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) (Psalm 117:2 AMP) May we be in a persistent, passionate pursuit of His Presence. Honor, heed (obey) and deeply cherish Him. “As sure as dawn breaks, so sure is his daily arrival. He comes as rain comes, as spring rain refreshing the ground.” — Hosea 6:3b (MSG)

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”  — Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) God was intimately acquainted with you, before you breathed your first breath. He formed your inward parts and knit you together in your mother’s womb. He wrote all your days in His book before one of them came to be. Just as the LORD had a plan for Jeremiah, He created you with a purpose. His plans for you are for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Amen!

O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.  — Psalm 139:1-4 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father knows us better than we know ourselves and He still loves us exactly the way we are. He accepts us, as-is. However, He wants the best for us, so He doesn't want to leave us in the same condition. If you have taken a detour off the path God has for you, He knew that would be the case, before it happened. Jesus still says, “Come to Me!” Join Jesus on the path already laid out for you. It is a journey that leads to abiding peace, abundant life and joy forevermore.
