Manna for Your Morning

“ Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the One who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. ” — Deuteronomy 31:6 (NASB) Our great God is Jehovah Shammah, the One who is always with us. You are not alone. So we will never fear even if every structure of support were to crumble away. We will not fear even when the earth quakes and shakes, moving mountains and casting them into the sea. (Psalm 46:2 TPT) Yet, in spite of all this, you comfort me by your counsel; you draw me closer to you. You lead me with your secret wisdom. and following you brings me into your brightness and glory! (Psalm 73:23-24 TPT)

Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. — 2 Corinthians 3:18 (MSG) Recognize that God is a living personal presence. (2 Corinthians 3:16 MSG) He is personally present. Let there be nothing between you and our heavenly Father. Welcome Him into your heart and your entire life. Let us see and reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We all, with unveiled face, behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, and are progressively being transformed into His image, from one degree of glory to another, which comes from the Lord. Whether you eat or drink, live your life in a way that glorifies and honors God. — 1 Corinthians 10:31 (TPT)

Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. — 2 Corinthians 3:18 (MSG) As we shed all pretense and remove the barriers that block our intimacy with God, we are transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory. First we have to let God enter our lives (hearts and minds), then we become more like Him. And our lives grow brighter and more beautiful as they reflect God’s Ways and His Word.

Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory. Ezekiel 10:4 (NKJV) Just as the glory of the LORD filled the temple in Jerusalem, He now dwells in us. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Open the door and be filled with His light and His love. Glow brightly with the glory of the LORD!
