Manna for Your Morning

“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star.” — Revelation 22:12-13, 16 (NLT) Yeshua is coming soon! And He is calling all to come to Him. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life. (Revelation 22:17 NLT) He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20 NLT)

“I am the Alpha and the Omega [the Beginning and the End],” says the Lord God, “Who is [existing forever] and Who was [continually existing in the past] and Who is to come, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all].” — Revelation 1:8 (AMP) Yeshua is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. (See Revelation 1:11) “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty.” Worthy is our Lord and God to receive the glory and the honor and the power; for He created all things, and because of His will they exist, and were created and brought into being.” (See Revelation 4:11 AMP)  He humbled Himself— becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord—to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:8-11 TLV) Amen.

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” — Revelation 1:7-8 (NKJV) In John 14:3 Yeshua said: “…if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Our King and Savior will come again. Do not be among those who have no hope. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 NKJV) “Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to...

“I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One. ” — Revelation 1:8 (NLT) Our world is in a constant state of change, but the LORD does not change (Malachi 3:6) Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8 TPT) He is our strong foundation and our stability in the earth-shaking and stormy times. While there is conflict in this world, King Jesus reigns as the Prince of Peace. Let your roots grow down deeply in Him, and let Him build you up on a firm foundation. Be strong in the faith, just as you were taught, and always spill over with thankfulness. (Colossians 2:7 VOICE)

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 (NASB) The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning… (Job 42:12a NASB) Whatever you may be going through right now, know that your future in God is brighter and brighter. For the joy that was set before Him, Jesus endured the cross... (Hebrews 12:2). For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us! (Romans 8:18 AMP) Amen!

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” — Matthew 2:2 (NASB) When we come to Jesus, let us come to worship and adore Him. May our coming to Him not just be about giving Him our list of petitions, to get what we have asked of Him. Let us come with our ears open, to hear what He would speak to us. May we become more intimately acquainted with Him and continually grow in our relationship with Him. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, (Revelation 1:8). He is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand… (Psalm 95:6-7). Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom. We adore...

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One].” — Revelation 22:13 (AMP) If you don’t come to Jesus, to whom shall you go? And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6b NASB) God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, (Philippians 2:9-10 NLT) Jesus is the Beginning and the End. He will be with you no matter what life brings your way. When your boat gets turned over in the middle of the storm, Jesus is your life preserver, and His love is the anchor that will hold you steady. If you have any mountains to climb or hurdles to jump, it's His power and strength that will bring you to the other side. When your house gets destroyed by fire, He is a re-builder of the walls and the strong foundation on which it can be built. Our Savi...

He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end. — Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMP) If you have ever been in between a rock and a hard place, you know how beautiful it is when God works everything out, at just the right time. While we may not know the whole plan of God, we can rejoice and be glad in this day that He has given us and trust Him to reveal to us exactly what we need to know and do, at His appointed time. Things may not come together on our timetable, but God is always right on time!

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. — Romans 8:28 (NASB) If you love God, know that He is working everything together for good. One event by itself may appear not to be good, but worked together with other things, good will come out of it. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16b, NLT). Your story is not over yet. Today is simply the beginning of a new chapter. Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well! (Psalm 139:14b, NASB)

But they did not discover anything they could do, for all the people hung upon His words and stuck by Him. — Luke 19:48 (AMP) Jesus taught daily in the temple and all the people hung on every word He spoke and stuck by Him, while others were trying to destroy Him (Luke 19:47). Let us stick by Him, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8). Never allow difficult circumstances to separate you from the love of God that we have in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:39). Troubles will come and go, but Jesus stands forever, the everlasting Rock. In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade (2 Corinthians 2:14 MSG). Stick by Him!

When Jesus saw him coming he said, “There’s a real Israelite, not a false bone in his body.” Nathanael said, “Where did you get that idea? You don’t know me.”  Jesus answered, “One day, long before Philip called you here, I saw you under the fig tree.” — John 1:47-48 (MSG) Don't be like Nathanael and think for one moment that Jesus doesn’t know you. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). Jesus was with God when He chose you before He laid down the foundations of the world. He was there when the Father formed you in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). Not only does He know the real you, He died and was resurrected to pay the price for your sins and reconcile you back into fellowship with our heavenly Father. In addition to all of that, JESUS LOVES YOU! (just the way you are). How awesome is that?

I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me. — Psalm 3:5 (NKJV) We are able to lie down in peace and sleep because the LORD alone, makes us dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8). When we awake, we are still with Him (Psalm 139:18). The LORD sustains us, He goes the distance with us. He is not here one day and gone the next. He sustains us, from beginning to end, without interruption. Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Amen!

And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent]. — Colossians 1:17-18 (AMP) In Jesus, all things are held together. Have you ever noticed how your life tends to fall apart when you leave Jesus on the sidelines? Everything in our lives should sit in the shadow of our great and awesome God. Keep Jesus at the center of your life and let everything else revolve around Him. Let Him occupy the first and most precious place in your heart, and every corner and crevice thereafter. Just as Jesus gave us open access to the throne room of God, we should also give Him FULL ACCESS to our hearts, our minds and our lives!

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” — Matthew 2:2 (NAS)  When the wise men saw Jesus, they fell down and worshiped Him (Matthew 2:11). Does Jesus sit on the throne of your heart as King? Is He the ruling authority in your life? Let us be sure to worship Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, He who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). Glory Hallelujah!

When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. — Matthew 28:17 (NKJV) Once we have truly seen Jesus, how can we do anything but worship Him? He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, clothed in grace and glory. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, He who is, who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8). In Jesus Christ, we have the victory, because He has overcome the world. Don't be one of those who doubt. Worship Him!

Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  — John 7:37 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). In Revelation 21:5-7, Jesus said, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” What a glorious future awaits us! Come to Jesus and drink freely from the fountain of living waters, for we shall overcome. Amen!

The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride. — Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NIV) It is not how you start, but how you finish that really counts. Where you’re going is much better than where you have been and what you have gone through. Be patient and persevere through the trials. What a gift life is to those who stay the course! You’ve heard, of course, of Job’s staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end. That’s because God cares, cares right down to the last detail (James 5:11, The Message).
