Manna for Your Morning

So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet. — James 4:7-10  (MSG) Say “Yes!” to God. Resist the devil and he will flee. When we humble ourselves in the Presence of the LORD, He will lift us up in due time. May His perfect will be done in your life.

Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God. You have done great things. O God, who is like you? You have made me endure many terrible troubles. You restore me to life again. You bring me back from the depths of the earth. You comfort me and make me greater than ever.  — Psalm 71:19-21 (GW) We've been to the bottom of the pit of despair. We know what its like to face adversity, yet our heavenly Father faithfully delivers us out of all our troubles. He brings us up from the depths of despair and comforts us in His loving arms. Our God makes us greater than ever. In Him, we get better and better, stronger and stronger. Our love grows deeper and deeper, as we grow in grace and compassion. Hallelujah!
