Manna for Your Morning

Long ago the LORD said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. — Jeremiah 31:3 (NLT) The LORD chose you to be in Him, before the foundation of the world. His love is everlasting and never failing. It knows no limits and has no conditions. He draws us close to Him in love, and His faithfulness continues throughout the generations. His loving Presence is with us always. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. (Psalm 23:6 NLT) So lift your hands and thank God for his marvelous kindness and for all his miracles of mercy for those he loves. (Psalm 107:8 TPT)

And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” — Matthew 14:28-30 (NKJV) Peter didn’t get into trouble until he looked at the conditions around him. The Message Bible says, he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet… Don’t let the enemy distract you by getting you to focus on external circumstances. Keep moving forward with your eyes of Jesus.
