Manna for Your Morning

Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran. And he reached a certain place and spent the night there because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head and lay down in that place. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.” — Genesis 28:10-11, 16 (LSB) In Jacob's dream, God said, “I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac… Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. And I will bring you back to this land; for I will not forsake you until I have done what I have promised you.” (See Genesis 28:13, 15) Today, He is with us. Whatever place you are in, remember Yahweh is in that place with you. You are never alone. No matter what situation or circumstance you are facing, you too can declare: “Surely Yahweh is in this place!” Wherever you go, His hand will guide you and His strength will empower you. (See Psalms 139:10 TPT) Always be aware o...

I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] — Philippians 4:13 (AMP)   God arms us with strength, and he makes our way perfect. (See Psalm 18:32 NLT) We grow tired and weary trying to do things in our own strength or trying to work our own plan. We can be confident, that Yahweh will equip us to do all that He has called us to do. We are strengthened and empowered to fulfill His purpose and plan, and it's the LORD’s purpose that will prevail (See Proverbs 19:21) And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty (See Philippians 4:13 TPT)  Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and...

Where could I go from your Spirit? Where could I run and hide from your face? If I go up to heaven, you’re there! If I go down to the realm of the dead, you’re there too! If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, you’re there! If I fly into the radiant sunset, you’re there waiting! Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. — Psalm 139:7-10 (TPT) Psalm 139:3 (NASB) says the LORD scrutinizes our path. No matter where you are today, God knows. Even if you have strayed off the path He has for you, the LORD knows exactly where you are. And He will lead you back to His glorious, everlasting ways— the path that brings you back to Him (Psalm 139:24b TPT).

You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. With your hand of love upon my life, you impart a blessing to me. — Psalm 139:5 (TPT) Our heavenly Father formed us in our mother’s womb and brought us into this world. When our days on this earth are done, He will be the One who welcomes us into a glorious eternity. And each day in between, He will be by our side, as we journey through life. We have the blessing of His Presence and His hand of love, gently leads us along the pathway that leads to life and life more abundantly. His hand of love is our protection and our peace. Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. It’s impossible to disappear from you or to ask the darkness to hide me, for your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night. — Psalm 139:10-11 (TPT)

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. — Ephesians 3:16-17 (NLT) We are empowered to do all that God has called us to do, as we surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. His power is perfected and shows itself most effectively in our weakness. Be rooted in God’s love and trust Him to give you the strength you need to overcome each and every challenge. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.  — 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

Yet, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand. — Isaiah 64:8 (AMP) May we be pliable in the hands of the Potter. We are not our own, for we were bought with a price (the precious blood of Jesus). (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT) As we discern God’s will and flow with His Spirit, we will live beautiful and satisfying lives. Jesus came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (John 10:10b AMP)

Your future is bright and filled with a living hope that will never fade away. As you listen to me, my beloved child, you will grow in wisdom and your heart will be drawn into understanding,  which will empower you to make right decisions. — Proverbs 23:18-19 (TPT) As you walk with the Lord, you have a bright future and a living hope. Listen to wisdom and follow the leading of His Holy Spirit. God has all your days written in His book and your story is not over yet. So God has more in store for you! For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the LORD’s declaration—“plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 CSB) The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me. LORD, your faithful love endures forever ... — Psalm 138:8a (CSB)

You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. — Psalm 139:5 (NLT) He goes before you to lead you. He follows behind, to protect you. His hand of blessing is on your head, providing all your needs. And His Spirit is in you, empowering you to be all that He created you to be. “For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” (Zephaniah 3:17 NLT)  Rejoice over the One who rejoices over you.

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. — Ephesians 3:16 (NLT) When we open the door of our hearts and invite Him in, Christ lives in us, and His unlimited resources are available to us. We are empowered to do what God has called us to do and fight the good fight of faith. He gives us inner strength to stand on His Word, speak His Word and walk in victory. His Spirit dwelling in us completes those areas of our weaknesses. He fills in the gaps and brings about a fullness of joy, peace and love. It’s not about the skills and abilities we possess, but about the goodness and grace of God and His Spirit that is at work in us. When we go in the abundant strength and mighty power the LORD provides, we overcome and conquer all. No matter how big the mountain before us, our God is bigger.

I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. — Ephesians 3:16-18 (NLT) Could it be that difficulty in trusting God comes from a heart and mind that does not believe or understand the magnitude of God’s unconditional love for us? Please know that there is nothing you could do or say that would stop the extravagant love our heavenly Father so freely and generously pours out on us. His love for you is limitless. May you be deeply rooted and securely grounded in God’s great love at all times and in every situation. In His love, we are empowered and strengthened to triumph over troubles.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will  live in the house of the LORD forever. — Psalm 23:6 NLT) As long as we live, the LORD’s goodness and unfailing love pursues us. Praise the LORD for all He has done and rejoice in His great goodness. May we always be aware of His unfailing love. It is so expansive, it fills the earth (Psalm 33:5). Trust in God’s unfailing love and it will help you endure the hardships. It will empower you to overcome the challenges. The unfailing love of the Most High will keep you from stumbling (Psalm 21:7). Let His unfailing love draw you to Him and abide in His Presence forever. Be sure to boast of the LORD’s unfailing love and His great goodness!
