Manna for Your Morning

You will keep the peace, a perfect peace, for all who trust in You, for those who dedicate their hearts and minds to You. So trust in the Eternal One forever,  for He is like a great Rock—strong, stable, trustworthy, and lasting. — Isaiah 26:3-4 (VOICE) Dedicate your heart and your mind to YAHWEH, with no drawing back. Don’t let the worries of this life, draw you away from His Presence.
