Manna for Your Morning

Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (AMP) May we comfort and encourage one another. However, if no one is there to encourage you, be like David. When David and his men returned home from battle they found the city burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. — Lamentations 3:22 (NKJV) The LORD is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.

(Lamentations 3:32 NKJV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement. (2 Corinthians 1:3 TLV) “Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.” (Romans 12:1 TPT)

If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath. Disciples so often get into trouble; still, God is there every time.  — Psalm 34:18-19 (The Message) If you have received news that hit you like a punch to the gut, please know, God is right there. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed (Psalm 34:18, NLT). He comforts us in all our tribulation. Even when we miss the mark, still, the Father of mercies is right there to help us pick up the pieces and move on, empowered and strengthened.
