Manna for Your Morning

God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. — Hebrews 4:12 (MSG) God’s Word is sharp enough to cut through any doubt, defensive attitudes or walls of offense. We are to lay on His altar and present ourselves to Him as living sacrifices. As a skilled surgeon, our heavenly Father uses His Word to cut away anything that is not of Him. As we expose ourselves to the Word, it will cleanse us and wash away the flaws and imperfections. In all your ways submit to Him and let His Word have utmost authority in your life. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9 NKJV)

  Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. — Ephesians 5:1 (NLT) Just as little girls like to wear their mother’s make-up and put on their shoes, let us clothe ourselves in the garments of our heavenly Father and walk in the light as He is in the light. As He is love, let us be love to others, including our enemies. Be the love that covers a multitude of sins and sees the best in others instead of their flaws. As our heavenly Father freely gives grace, mercy, and kindness, let us do likewise. Just as peace, and joy abound in His Presence, may our hearts and minds stay in His perfect peace and bountiful joy.
