Manna for Your Morning

“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” — Philippians 1:6 (AMP) Yahweh is faithful to complete the good work He is doing in each believer. Know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (See James 1:3-4 NASB1995) “Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.” (Jude 1:24-25 NLT)

“Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision. There the day of the LORD will soon arrive.” — Joel 3:14 (NLT)  The day of the LORD is near, the day when destruction comes from the Almighty. How terrible that day will be! (Joel 1:15 NLT) Make a decision today to follow Yahweh. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (See 2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV ) That is why the LORD says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the LORD your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish. (Joel 2:12-13 NLT) “And it shall come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved [from the coming judgment]… (See Joel 2:32 AMP).

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up— and it shall be brought low … — Isaiah 2:11-12 (NKJV) “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (See James 4:6 NKJV) Instead of being prideful or arrogant, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, (see 1 Peter 5:6), for Yahweh will have a day of reckoning. “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” (Isaiah 1:19-20 NKJV) So don’t make judgments about anyone ahead of time—before the Lord returns. For he will bring our darkest secrets to light and will reveal our private motives. Then God will give to each one whatever praise is due. (1 Corinthians 4:5 NLT) Human pride will be humbled, and human arrogance...

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.” — Psalm 122:1 (NKJV) Even though our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in us, and we can worship Him wherever we are, let us not stop gathering together with other believers, as some are in the habit of doing. Instead, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of the Lord coming (Hebrews 10:25).
