Manna for Your Morning

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. — Psalm 138:3 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father responds to His people. His ear is always open to our cry. When we call to Him, He answers. (Psalm 86:7) When we ask for wisdom, He gives it to us (James 1:5) He fills in the gaps of our weaknesses, with His power and strength. When we fall, He is there to lift us up again. He responds to our sickness with healing in His wings. (Malachi 4:2) In times of trouble, He delivers us. When we are lost, He shows us the way. Thank you! Everything in me says “Thank you!” Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: “Thank you!” Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. (Psalm 138:1-2 MSG)

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people from this time forth and forever. — Psalm 125:2 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father surrounds us with arms of love. His eye watches over us to protect us and guide us along as we go about our day. He upholds us with His mighty hand. (Psalm 37:24) When you call out to Him, He will answer. Psalm 138:3 (AMP) says: On the day I called, You answered me; and You made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life. You can be certain that the LORD will perfect that which concerns you. (Psalm 138:8a) For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love. (Psalm 5:12 NLT)

“See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.” — Isaiah 12:2 (NLT) Instead of trying to do things in our own strength, let us draw from God’s endless source. When we trust God in all situations and circumstances, we walk in His strength, with peace of mind. The LORD is the song that we sing, because He gives us the victory. In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul ( Psalm 138:3 NKJV ). The Message Bible says the moment we called out, He stepped in. Amen!

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.  — Psalm 138:3 (NKJV) Our God is Jehovah Shammah. He is always with us, an ever-present God! Every time we call upon the name of the LORD, He hears and answers. He knows our limitations and He steps in at just the right time and gives us strength. Constantly look to the LORD and put your confidence in Him as the Source of your strength. He makes us bold by giving strength to our souls: mind, will and emotions. With the intervention of our heavenly Father, we can think strong thoughts, we can set our will to follow God's instructions, and we can line our emotions up with the Word of God. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4)!

Ever since we arrived in the province of Macedonia, we’ve had no rest. Instead, we suffer in a number of ways. Outwardly we have conflicts, and inwardly we have fears.  — 2 Corinthians 7:5 (GW) Are you experiencing conflict in a relationship? Whether it is your spouse, child, family member, friend, co-worker, boss, or business partner, God has called us to live in peace. Hebrews 12:14 says, make every effort to live in peace with everyone. Do you have fears? Be bold and confident in the Lord. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Praise the Lord!

When I called, you answered me. You made me bold by strengthening my soul. Psalm 138:3 (GW) God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Proverbs 28:1 says, righteous people are as bold as lions. We have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him in heavenly places over all others, in us. We received this power to be witnesses for Jesus Christ,  throughout the world. We are like a city set on a hill, not meant to be hidden. Fear not, be strong and very courageous!
