Manna for Your Morning

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. — James 3:17 (NLT) Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. ( Proverbs 3:7 NASB1995) What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever. (Isaiah 5:21 NLT) If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. (James 1:5-6 NLT) First Corinthians 3:19 (NASB1995) says, the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. Let us seek the wisdom from above, coming down to us from the Father of lights.

Peter said, “Now I know for certain that God doesn’t show favoritism with people but treats everyone on the same basis. It makes no difference what race of people one belongs to. If they show deep reverence for God, and are committed to doing what’s right, they are acceptable before him.” — Acts 10:34-35 (TPT) My fellow believers, do not practice your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of partiality [toward people—show no favoritism, no prejudice, no snobbery]. (James 2:1 AMP) Let us be like our Heavenly Father and not show partiality to any person. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience], who delights greatly in His commandments. (Psalms 112:1 AMP) God blesses us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder]. (Psalms 67:7 AMP) When all has been heard, the end of the matter is: f...

Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is not one to show partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s blessing],” — Acts 10:34 (AMP) Yahweh shows no favoritism. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 NASB1995) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 NKJV) Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, (Acts 3:19 NKJV) “O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no god like You in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart; You alone know the hearts of the sons of men. May all the peoples of the earth know Your name, and fear You as do Y...

Opening his mouth, Peter said: “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.” — Acts 10:34-35 (NASB1995) There is no favoritism, with our heavenly Father. God, our Savior, desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4 NASB1995) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13 NKJV) And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]… (See 2 Peter 3:15 AMP)  Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. — Isaiah 55:6 (NKJV)

The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. — Psalm 25:8 (NLT) Psalm 145:9  (NKJV) says, The LORD is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. God shows no favoritism. (Acts 10:24 NLT) He is good to ALL. Circumstances may not always appear good, but remember that God is good and the plans He has for you are good. We may not be able to make sense of some things in our limited, human understanding. However, let us stay the course with Christ. He has a path for each person. Commit to closely following Him and take each step by faith. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. (1 Peter 2:21 NLT)

Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth,  doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, so will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them. — Isaiah 55:10-11 (MSG) In 1 Kings 8:24, King Solomon says to the LORD, “You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.” God does not show favoritism (Acts 10:34). He does not lie and He does not change. He fulfills every Word He has spoken. You have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised. (Hebrews 10:36 AMP) Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering...

Is anything too hard for the LORD? — Genesis 18:14a (NKJV) The LORD spoke and created the heavens and the earth and all the living creatures in it (Genesis 1). He led His people in the wilderness for forty years and fed them bread from heaven (Psalm 78:24). The LORD kept Daniel safe in a den of lions (Daniel 6:22). He opened the barren wombs of Sarah (Genesis 21:2) and Hannah (1 Samuel 1:20). God does not show favoritism… (Acts 10:34). Whatever circumstances you face today, know that nothing is too difficult for the LORD. He is our provider and safe refuge. He restores relationships. Our God is able to bring that which is dead back to life. Never lose hope. With God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26).

Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. — Acts 10:30-31 (NIV) Acts 10:1-2 (NIV) says, Cornelius and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. God does not show favoritism (Acts 10:34), just as He heard the prayers of Cornelius and remembered His gifts to the poor, as we commit our lives to Him, our prayers and acts of kindness to those in need ascend before God as a memorial offering. In every nation the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is acceptable and welcomed by Him. (Acts 10:35 AMP). He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6b)

“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” — John 12:32 (NKJV) Jesus said, He draws ALL peoples to Himself. Nationality, color, race, social status, socioeconomic status, language, etc. does not matter. God does not show favoritism (Acts 10:34 NIV). Jesus draws all of us. He draws us with unconditional love and compassion, and His love never fails. Nothing can separate us from His love. Instead of condemnation, He shows us forgiveness, grace and mercy. Jesus came that we may have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). We enjoy that abundant life as we abide in constant companionship with our Savior. Don’t be among those who draw back, instead, allow Jesus to continually draw you into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Himself, the very source of our peace, joy, love and life.

The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great. — Psalm 115:12-13  (NKJV) The LORD has you on His mind. Thoughts of you continually invade the mind of God. Psalm 40:5 says, His thoughts toward us are more than can be numbered. Psalm 139:17 says, how precious also are His thoughts to us, O God! How great is the sum of them! Likewise, let us continually be mindful of our heavenly Father. God shows personal favoritism to no man (Galatians 2:6). He loves each and every one of us and is working for our good. So whether you think you’re small and insignificant or think you are great, if you fear the LORD, abundant blessings are coming your way!

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. — James 3:17 (NKJV) Jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic (James 3:15 NLT). Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others (Proverbs 3:17, MSG). It is also peace-loving, and gentle at all times. Instead of being combative and trying to force it’s own way, it’s full of compassion and willing to yield to others. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere (James 3:17 NLT). Let us walk in God’s kind of wisdom, the wisdom that is from above.

For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another]. — Romans 2:11 (AMP) God does not show favoritism and there is no partiality with Him. He loves each and every one of us. And there is nothing on this earth or in heaven that can separate us from His love. Psalm 139:17 (NLT) declares, “How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” May we be as consumed with thoughts about God and share His unconditional love with everyone He brings our way.

The LORD will bless you and watch over you. The LORD will smile on you and be kind to you. The LORD will look on you with favor and give you peace.’ — Numbers 6:24-26 (GW) God does not show favoritism (Romans 2:11). He wants ALL people to be saved. And for all of His children to have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10), the kind of rich and satisfying life Jesus came to give us. The LORD watches over you wherever you go, for your good, not to harm you. He is working for you, not against you. May you experience the fullness of His favor and peace in your life, as you abide in JESUS!

Peter began to speak: "I really understand now that to God every person is the same. In every country God accepts anyone who worships him and does what is right. You know the message that God has sent to the people of Israel is the Good News that peace has come through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all people!" Acts 10:34-36 (NCV) God shows no favoritism. He loves us all and lavishly pours out new compassions on us every morning. No matter who you are or what you have done when you humble yourself and sincerely worship God, you are accepted by Him. You do not have to pretend you are something you're not. God comes to you exactly where you are and meets you there. Hallelujah!
