Manna for Your Morning

For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights. — Psalm 18:31-33 (NLT) The LORD trains my hands for battle; He strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. He has given me His shield of victory. His right hand supports me; His help has made me great. (Psalm 18:34-35) I’m singing joyful praise to God. I’m turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God. Counting on God’s Rule to prevail, I take heart and gain strength. I run like a deer. I feel like I’m king of the mountain! (Habakkuk 3:18-19 MSG) Hallelujah and Amen!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.  — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) Our heavenly Father is full of compassion and the source of all comfort. We can know that we know, our God is faithful. He is no respecter of persons and He does not change. What He does for one, He will do for all. If we fall, our merciful Father is there to catch us in His arms. In all of our troubles He is there to comfort us. He is the excellent role model for us. As He is compassionate and comforts us, likewise we can be there for others when they are troubled, and going through hard times.

God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights. — Psalm 18:32-33 (NLT) God arms us with strength to go through the low valleys of life and stand strong and secure on the mountaintop. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak (Isaiah 40:29 NIV). In His strength we can crush an army; with our God we can scale any wall (Psalm 18:28-29 NLT). May we go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power] (Psalm 84:7 AMP). Amen.

My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. — Psalm 73:26 (NKJV) Do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16 NKJV).  God arms us with strenth. He empowers us by His Holy Spirit in us, to do all that He has called us to do. Go in the strength of the Lord GOD (Psalm 71:16a NKJV)! Go from strength to strength increasing in victorious power!

For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. — Psalm 18:31-32 (NKJV) The LORD is our strength. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in us. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to our mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within us (Romans 8:11 NLT). It is not in our strength that we accomplish anything significant, but by His Spirit. Our health may fail, and our spirits may grow weak, but God remains the strength of our hearts; he is ours forever (Psalm 73:26 NLT). We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13).

All whom My Father gives (entrusts) to Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, no never, reject one of them who comes to Me]. — John 6:37 (AMP) We may have been abandoned and rejected by a person, but Jesus says He will never reject those who come to Him. We can be assured of finding acceptance in the arms of Jesus. He wants us to come, just as we are. And as long as you keep coming to Him, He will keep holding on to you!

 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. — Luke 15:20 (NKJV) After the lost son, wasted his wealth in wild living, he began to be in want. Eventually, he came to himself, and decided to return home (Luke 15:17-18). While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and had compassion. No matter how far you are away from God today, He sees you and has compassion. You are still His son or daughter and He longs to hold you in His arms. Return to who you really are, a child of God. Come home!

For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.  — Psalm 18:31-32 (NKJV) Our God is a solid rock. We can stand securely in Him. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength (Isaiah 40:29). God arms us with strength and His glorious power works in us and through us to bring about His perfect will. Stay on the path He has for you and run or walk, but at least keep going in the right direction. The LORD will make a way for you!

I’ve thrown myself headlong into your arms—I’m celebrating your rescue. I’m singing at the top of my lungs, I’m so full of answered prayers.  — Psalm 13:5-6 (The Message) Our God is a mighty God and the safest place for us is in His arms. Throw yourself headlong into the arms of our heavenly Father, that's head first. That means we have to get our minds renewed according to the Word of God, then the rest of us will follow, our bodies, our tongues, etc. As we stay in His arms, He carries us close to His heart. Always remember the wonderful works the LORD has done in your midst. Thank and praise Him for answered prayers and for what is yet to come.
