Manna for Your Morning

  Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah — Psalms 68:19 (NKJV) Notice that the Scripture says “ daily ” we are loaded with benefits. It's not every once in a while, but EVERY day that our Heavenly Father loads us with more benefits and blessings than we are able to count. Open your heart to Him and receive them, each and every day. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; (See Lamentations 3:22-23 NASB1995) Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. (Psalms 103:1-5 LSB) What will I give to the LORD [in return] for all His benefits toward me? [How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?] I will l...

Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. — Colossians 3:15 (AMP) Instead of letting “the problem of the day” fester in your mind. Keep Christ at the center of your thoughts. He is Immanuel, “God with us.” (See Matthew 1:23) Our mighty God reigns! Nothing is too difficult for Him. “Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the Anointed One…” (See Colossians 3:15 TPT) He is the Prince of Peace. (See Isaiah 9:6) May His peace rule in your hearts, your minds and in your relationships with others. Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace]...

Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. — Psalm 105:4 (AMP) Daily seek the LORD and His will and He will show you the right path. Psalm 143:8 (NKJV) says, “ Cause me to he ar Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. ” May you hear His unfailing love each morning and follow His guidance every day. Praise the LORD! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving . — Psalm 28:6-7  (NLT)

And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him. — Luke 19:47-48 (NKJV) The Amplified Bible says: all the people stayed close to Him and were hanging on to every word Jesus said (Luke 19:48). In Luke 10:39-40, Mary sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations. And Jesus said, “…Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:42) Once we know the truth, no one can take it away from us. Instead of being distracted, may we be very attentive to the Word of God, daily. Let us stay close to Him, and hang on to every Word Jesus taught. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword… (Hebrews 4:12a NKJV) The Amplified Bible says, it is energizing, and effective. And the Message Bible says, it is like a surg...

Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ But they all with one accord began to make excuses… ” — Luke 14:16-18a (NKJV) Everyday Jesus calls us into the throne room of God. He invites us to come to Him, to come up to a higher level, to come out of the dominion of darkness and into His marvelous light. He calls us to join Him out in the deep waters. When Jesus calls us to come, let us not make excuses. Instead, let us choose to walk with Christ daily and follow Him closely, not at a distance. May we be like the early disciples, who forsook all and followed Jesus. He is the answer to every need you have. He is the way, the truth and the life. (John 14:6)

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah. — Psalm 68:19 (NASB) I’m so glad that the Lord bears our burdens every single day. He never leaves us to bear the weight and pressure of our burdens alone. It doesn't matter how many we have, or the weight of them, He's got it. Don’t let the issues of this life distract you from keeping your eyes on Jesus, or draw you away from His Presence. Keep your mind set on fulfilling the purpose and mission our heavenly Father has for you. Seek first God’s kingdom and He will handle everything that concerns you. Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders— he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin. (Psalm 55:22 MSG) Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day, the God who is our salvation! Selah. (Psalm 68:19 AMP)

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah — Psalm 68:19 (NKJV) Let us be mindful of the wide array of benefits the Lord bestows upon us every moment of our day. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:2-5 NIV) The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness;  his mercies begin afresh each morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT) Hallelujah!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” — Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) Jesus calls each one of us to come to Him. He has no pre-requisites or conditions, just come. It doesn’t matter how you come or what you are like when you come. The important thing is that we come, not just one time, but come and keep coming to Him on a daily basis. Once we come to Him, let us be teachable and learn from the best Teacher of all. Then we will find rest. When we rest in Him, we are free to experience the deepest peace ever. “ Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly. ” (Matthew 11:29-30 MSG)

So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. — Leviticus 9:5 (NKJV) Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people (Leviticus 9:23 NKJV). When the Israelites drew near to God, He drew near to them. God does not show favoritism (Acts 10:34). When we come close to God, God will come close to us. (James 4:8a NLT). And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you, by the mercies of God, that you daily draw near to God and present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God. Give Him all of you, as a vessel for His glory. And He will fill your temple with His Presence. What greater blessing is there?

“Glory to God in the highest [heaven], and on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.” — Luke 2:14 (AMP) In a world that is full of chaos and disaster, the only peace we find is in our amazing love relationship with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. (Colossians 3:15 AMP)

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation.   Selah.  — Psalm 68:19 (NAS) The Lord daily carries our burdens for us, every worry and every care. Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall (Psalm 55:22 NLT). Daily, He loads us up with benefits. He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. He redeems us from death and crowns us with love and tender mercies. He fills our lives with good things (Psalm 103:3-5 NLT). Blessed be the Lord!

These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. — Acts 17:11-12 (NKJV) Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character (Acts 17:11, NIV). They listened eagerly to Apostle Paul’s message, then they searched the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. As a result, many of them believed. When we hear the Word of God preached, may we also search the Scriptures daily, so that we may believe and know the truth. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect (Mark 13:22).

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah  — Psalm 68:19 (NKJV) God didn't just put us here on earth and forget about us. He is an interactive God. He is not a distant, unconcerned father. Instead He is intimately acquainted with every detail of our lives. He showers us with new compassions every morning. He is there to bottle each tear that falls from your face. Our heavenly Father daily loads us with benefits. He forgives all our iniquities, heals all our diseases, and redeems our lives from destruction. The LORD crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies (Psalm 103:3-4). Praise the Lord!

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah — Psalm 68:19 (NKJV) Thanks be to the Lord, who loads us with benefits every single day. He does not miss a day!

The Lord satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s (Psalm 103:1-5). Let everything that has breath praise Him!
