Manna for Your Morning

“For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God. For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,” — 1 Peter 2:20-21 (NASB1995) May we intentionally follow the example of our Savior, King Yeshua. “He never sinned and he never spoke deceitfully. When he was verbally abused, he did not return with an insult; when he suffered, he would not threaten retaliation. Jesus faithfully entrusted himself into the hands of God, who judges righteously.” (1 Peter 2:22-23 TPT) “For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” (1 Peter 2:25 NASB1995) Closely follow the good Shepherd Who gives His life for the sheep. (See John 10:11 NKJV)

O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. (Psalms 30:11-12 NKJV) Yahweh blesses the righteous one, He surrounds him with favor as with a large shield. (See Psalms 5:12 LSB) May we sing praise to Him and give Him thanks, even during our darkest days, knowing that He will deliver us.

“Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.” — Psalms 30:4-5 (NLT) “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.” (Psalms 63:1 NKJV) …In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.” (Psalms 63:3-5 NLT)

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD bestows grace and favor and honor;

Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. (Psalms 34:8-9 NKJV) Yahweh is good and generous. His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.

The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. — Esther 2:17 (NKJV) God placed Esther in position of royalty to save His people. In Esther 4:16, she said: “And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!” She was willing to risk her life to plead with the king for her people. When we follow the leading of His Holy Spirit, He will ensure that we are in the proper position at the appointed time to fulfill His purpose and plan. We will be empowered and equipped with everything we need to accomplish the mission. Yahweh is faithful to provide everything we need and He always delivers His people from their enemies. “Who knows if perhaps you are in your current position and place for such a time as this?” (See Esther 4:14)

Sing praise to Yahweh, you His holy ones, and give thanks for the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. — Psalms 30:4-5 (LSB) Let us praise YAH! For He is the LORD Most High over all the earth; He is exalted far above all (little “g”) gods. (See Psalms 97:9) Nothing is too difficult for our mighty God. Whatever set of circumstances are before you, He is able to turn them around. Hallelujah!  He can change bitter waters to sweet. (See Exodus 15:23-25) He restores the sick to health.

But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.” — Acts 7:9-10 (NKJV) Those close to us may do us wrong, but Yahweh is always with us and He is faithful to deliver us out of all our troubles. Psalms 34:17 (NLT) says: The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph told his brothers: “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…” What harm Yahweh allows others to do in your life, He is able to turn around for good. The land of your suffering can become the place of abundant blessings.

Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. — James 4:8 (NLT) Continually draw near to God. His nearness is our good.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, — Ephesians 1:3 (NASB) Our heavenly Father is continually pouring out His goodness and favor upon His people. In order to have a cup that is overflowing we must be vessels that are open to receive His Presence, His blessings, and His favor. If our cup (our heart) is full of pride, unforgiveness, etc. than we have no room to be filled with His Holy Spirit and all the blessings contained in His Presence. Fix your hope on God, the One who richly provides everything for our enjoyment. (1 Timothy 6:17b VOICE) Thirst for more of Him.

Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!” — Luke 1:28 (NLT) Believers have the favor of God, because the Lord is with us. With God on our side, who can stand against us? When Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, were tied up and thrown into the midst of the fiery furnace, that was seven times hotter than usual, they were delivered because the presence of the LORD was with them. Not only were they loosed but the fire had no effect on their bodies—their hair was not singed, their clothes were not scorched or damaged, even the smell of smoke was not on them.

He endured the cross, disregarded its shame and is now seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. “... In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. ” — John 16:33 (NKJV)
