Manna for Your Morning

“The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living.” — Psalms 19:7-8 (NLT) Does your soul need reviving? Do you need insight for living? Do you want your heart to be joyful? Follow the instructions of Yahweh. “They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.” (Psalms 19:11 NLT) Isaiah 26:8 says, we show our trust in the LORD by obeying His laws. May our heart’s desire be to glorify His name.  The foremost of all the commandments is “ ... The LORD our GOD is one LORD; and you shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  (See Mark 12:29-31 NASB1995) 

The voice of the LORD echoes above the sea. The God of glory thunders. The LORD thunders over the mighty sea. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. — Psalm 29:3-4 (NLT) In the beginning, God said and it was so. Let us listen for His voice, the only voice that matters. The LORD your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and decrees written in His Book of Instruction, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul (Deuteronomy 30:10, NLT). Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him (Deuteronomy 13:4, NLT). Amen.

The instructions of the LORD are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living. Psalm 19:7-8 (NLT) Do you need some insight for living a joyful, productive and peaceful life? Give attention to the Word of God. The teachings of the LORD are perfect and will revive your soul. We can trust the instructions of our heavenly Father to point us in the right direction and make us wise. Obedience to His commands brings joy to our hearts. We not only survive, we thrive when we align our lives with the principles of God's Word. Amen.
