Manna for Your Morning

They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. — Matthew 2:11a (NLT) The initial response the wise men had when they entered the presence of Jesus was to bow down and worship Him. Bowing down is an act of surrender and submission. It’s an acknowledgement of His lordship over our lives. Bowing down is an indication of a humble heart. It says not my will but Your’s be done. As wise men and women, may we bow down and worship Jesus, the Lord of lords and King of kings, every day God gives us breath. He is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. He is worthy of all praise and honor! Alleluia!

Then the people of Israel were convinced that the LORD had sent Moses and Aaron. When they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped. — Exodus 4:31 (NLT) When we know that the LORD cares about us and that He has seen our affliction and troubles, the appropriate response is to bow down in humility and cast all our cares upon Him. Then we can wholeheartedly worship the LORD, knowing that our heavenly Father is a great and mighty God. He is able to handle everything that concerns us. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker (Psalm 95:6). Worthy, worthy worthy is the LORD!

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.  — Psalm 20:7-8 (NKJV) Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow (Philippians 2:9-10). Chariots will rust and horses get weak, but all glory and power belong to JESUS CHRIST forever and ever! (1 Peter 4:11) May the name of the Lord Jesus be magnified on the earth and in your life!
