Manna for Your Morning

in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (AMP) No matter what the circumstances may be… I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. (Psalms 7:17 NASB1995) Just as the blessings of the Most High are continual, may we continually give thanks to Yahweh, with a grateful heart. Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name. (Psalms 100:4 AMP) 

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. — Hebrews 13:15 (NKJV) Let us not restrict our giving of thanks to a day or a season. May we always have a heart full of gratitude for all God has done and is doing in our lives. Continually give thanks to our heavenly Father. God doesn’t just want weekend and holiday visitations. He wants full time custody. As children of God, dearly loved by the Father, we have His attention and affection, every moment of every day. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name (Psalm 100:4).

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. — 1 John 1:5, 7 (NKJV) May we live in the light of God, and let it brightly shine through us and touch those around us. His light is full of LOVE and abundant life. The spout of God’s love is constantly pouring His love into our hearts and upon us, each and every moment of the day. Let it continually flow out of you, so those around you can be drenched in His love. We never have to fear that our cups will run dry, because our heavenly Father has an endless supply and He will always refill them. Let all that you do be done with love (1 Corinthians 16:14), as you live your life in His brilliant light.

By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.  — Psalm 71:6 (NKJV) Since the day He delivered you from your mother's womb, the LORD has been with you. He has taken care of you. We can  always lean and rely upon our mighty God. May our mouths be filled with His praise and with His glory all the day! (Psalm 71:8)

Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.  — Psalm 52:1 (NKJV) The LORD, the LORD God, is merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth (Exodus 34:6). He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, and crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies (Psalm 103:3-4). The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy (Psalm 103:8). Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for great is His goodness toward us!

Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. — Psalm 73:23-24 (NKJV) The word, “nevertheless” speaks volumes. It says, in spite of anything and everything that comes our way, come hell or high water, we are still with the Lord. All our earthly possessions can be destroyed by fire or flood waters, but nothing can disrupt the wonderful relationship we have with our heavenly Father. Always seek to develop a deeper level of intimacy with Him. It is good for us to draw near to the Lord GOD for we are continually with Him.

Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me,  for You are my rock and my fortress.  — Psalm 71:3 (NKJV) The LORD is a strong refuge, to which we may continually resort. His door is always open! Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us, in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). May our heavenly Father never be your last resort, but your first choice and only option, at all times.
