Manna for Your Morning

For by their own sword they did not possess the land, and their own arm did not save them, but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, for You favored them. — Psalm 44:3 (NASB) Without the help of the LORD, we can make no worthy gains. Victory comes with His strong arm, His mighty Presence and His divine favor. The LORD blesses the righteous and surrounds them with His favor (Proverbs 5:12). His favor lasts a lifetime (Psalm 30:5). Praise the LORD for His help and His favor. We make real gains, in this life, when we allow His hand to lead us, guide us, protect us and make a way for us. Amen!

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. — Psalm 31:19 (NLT) The Word tells us God lavishes His great love on us (1 John 3:1 NIV) and His great goodness. Lavish means He gives it liberally, in generous or extravagant quantities, in abundance. Over the top! He also gave us His Holy Spirit that we might realize, comprehend and appreciate the gifts of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly bestowed on us by God (1 Corinthians 2:12). Let us thank God for all that He has so richly and generously bestowed upon us!
