Manna for Your Morning

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. — Acts 28:3, 5 (NKJV) When it feels like the enemy has his teeth in you, shake it off. Have no fear, no weapon turned against you will succeed. God still reigns and His plans for you are good. Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge (Psalm 91:3-4 NIV). God will restore what the enemy has stolen and give you double for your trouble.

Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. — Zechariah 9:12 (NKJV) When all things in  your life seem to be going awry, seek refuge in the strong fortress of our mighty God. Imprison yourself inside His walls of hope. Let your voice continue to sing His praises. Persist in prayer without ceasing and stand on His wonderful promises. As you praise, pray and remember His promises, you will keep your hope in our wonder-working God alive! May He give you double for your trouble.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. — Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) God has wonderful plans for you, and for your life. However, we have to do our part. The LORD had a storehouse of blessings in store for Job, but he had to do his part and pray for his friends and then he received double the blessings for all the trouble he had gone through. (Job 42:10). What is the LORD calling you to do? NOW is the time!
