Manna for Your Morning

Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. — Psalm 73:23-24 (NLT) When we feel inadequate to perform our God-given assignments, it’s because we are looking at ourselves, instead of our awesome God. One of the greatest pitfalls is for us to be preoccupied with self. Whatever God has called you to, realize, it’s not about you. It’s much bigger than you, and it has eternal consequences. Keep your eyes on the LORD and let Him be your guide. In Him, we live, move and have our being (Acts 17:28). When we focus on God, His faithfulness, and His mighty power, we will rise above the daily circumstances and live in peace and joy, knowing that nothing is too difficult for our great God!

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”  — Luke 22:41-42 (NKJV) Jesus' selfless sacrifice upon the cross brought salvation to all mankind. Just as Jesus fulfilled His mission by being obedient to the Father's will, let us complete our God given assignments. Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1). Whose salvation is depending on your obedience?
