Manna for Your Morning

  “Cling  to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.” — 1 Timothy 1:19 (NLT) No matter how chaotic events become, keep your faith [leaning completely on God with absolute trust and confidence in His guidance].

(See 2 Timothy 4:7 NLT) “For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith.

(Hebrews 10:37-39 NLT)

“And since we now have a magnificent High Priest to welcome us into God’s house, we come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced that nothing will keep us at a distance from him.

(Hebrews 4:16 AMP) In Matthew 15:8 (NKJV), Yeshua says: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.” Let us draw near to the throne of our graciou...

…Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]. — Hebrews 3:6 (AMP) Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider the Apostle and High Priest whom we confessed [as ours when we accepted Him as Savior], namely, Jesus; (Hebrews 3:1 AMP) Fix your thoughts on Him. Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12 NASB1995) We are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved. (See Hebrews 10:39 NLT) Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; (Hebrews 10:23 NASB1995) So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true.

For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. — Romans 29-30 (NLT) We have been chosen by Yahweh, and called to come to Him. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light; (See 1 Peter 2:9) He chose us to become like His Son, Yeshua. He has risen from death to life. Let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and walk in His light and the more abundant life Yeshua came to give us. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) Amen.

Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God. Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm. — Psalm 20:7-8 (NLT) Let no one boast in men, or the things of this world. They will pass away or rust and decay, but the name of our great God stands forever. Those who trust in and rely on the name of the LORD will rise up and stand firm. Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 124:8 NASB) Elohim is the all-powerful One and Creator of all. He is El Elyon, the God Most High, and El Shaddai, the all-sufficient Source of all our blessings. He is El Olam, the eternal and everlasting God. “He who boasts and glories, let him boast and glory in the LORD.” (See 1 Corinthians 1:31 AMP) Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all.

(2 Corinthians 4:9 NLT) After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
