Manna for Your Morning

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. — Joshua 1:5 (NKJV) Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5 NKJV) And with God all things are possible. Whatever the set of circumstances that are before you, remember that Yahweh is with you . He is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen. (See Ephesians 3:20-21 AMP) Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, b...

Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. — Isaiah 55:6-7 (NKJV) People in this world seek many things: love, fame, fortune, power, etc. However, when we abide in Yahweh, we have all that we need. Call upon Him while He is near. If you truly seek Him, He will be found by you. Let us seek Almighty God, and His will and walk in His ways, all of our days. In His presence is fullness of joy; At His right hand are pleasures forevermore. (See Psalms 16:11) “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord GOD, “That I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD, but shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12 NKJV)

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” — Deuteronomy 31:8 (NLT) This is a very precious and powerful promise because with God all things are possible. (See Matthew 19:26 & Mark 10:27)  The LORD is the One who goes ahead of you. He will be with you. He will not fail you. He will never forsake you. There is no need to fear or be dismayed. “He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t worry.” — Deuteronomy 31:8 (MSG)

Eternal One: Is it possible for a mother, however disappointed, however hurt, to forget her nursing child? Can she feel nothing for the baby she carried and birthed? Even if she could, I, God, will never forget you. Look here. I have made you a part of Me, written you on the palms of My hands. Your city walls are always on My mind, always My concern. — Isaiah 49:15-16 (VOICE) Continually cast your cares upon the LORD for He cares for you. He has not forgotten about you. Thou everyone else may desert you, the LORD is with you. He will never abandon you nor forsake you. Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. He is our Constant Companion. Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider  that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me. — Psalm 139:17-18 (TPT)

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” — Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the LORD will be exalted and safe. (Proverbs 29:25 AMP) Worship instead of worry. Faith over fear. Make His Presence and praising Him your highest priority. We enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God. Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do—they can’t keep it quiet! Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us— you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air! All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King! (Psalm 89:15-18 MSG)

“ How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. ” — 1 Kings 18:21 (ESV) As long as we are torn between following the LORD or following the things of this world, we are limping, unable to walk and run as God intended. The Message Bible says: “How long are you going to sit on the fence?” Sitting on the fence is painful. Choose today, to follow the LORD. He formed your inward parts and knit you together in your mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13) He has all the days ordained for you written in His book (Psalm 139:16). Choose to follow the LORD our God, He is the One who goes with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:16) Follow the LORD, who demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

“And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” — Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV) Just as nothing can separate us from the love of God, nothing can separate us from His Presence. He promises to be with us forever. He is our guide and constant Companion as we journey through all seasons of life. He invites us to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). In His Presence we have perfect peace. His Presence makes our joy complete. In His Presence, we have everything we need. Passionately pursue His Presence and He will enable you to fulfill His plan and purpose for your life.

I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. — Leviticus 26:12 (NASB) Just as Almighty God walked with the Israelites, He walks with His people today. He has enclosed us behind and before, and laid His hand upon us (Psalm 139:5). He has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts… (2 Corinthians 1:22 NLT). He has given us the Holy Spirit as our Helper, that He may be with us forever (John 14:16). He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us always keep in step with Him. Though the nations around us follow their idols, we will follow the LORD our God forever and ever. (Micah 4:5 NLT)

This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) We can be full of joy today, no matter what happens, because this day is written in His Book. And no matter what comes our way today, the LORD has already made a way for us. Glory Hallelujah! Every day He wakes us up and gives us new mercies, is a day to rejoice and be glad. Delight yourself in His Presence, knowing that He is with you, every step of the way. He will never leave you or forsake you.

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” — Numbers 23:19 (NKJV) God cannot lie (Titus 1:2) and His word that goes forth from His mouth does not return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). God said, He will never leave us or forsake us. He will be with us in the floodwaters and in the fire. He said, nothing can separate us from His great love. In Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) God said, the plans He has for us are for good and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. In Luke 1:37 (AMP), God said, with Him nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. Stand on His Word, and believe His Word. It is truth and it endures forever.

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. — 1 Kings 8:24 (NKJV) Man may fall short of what his mouth has spoken, but God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). He fulfills every word He has spoken. If you seek the LORD our God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul (Deuteronomy 4:29). He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” (Hebrews 13:5). When you pass through the waters, He will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you (Isaiah 43:2). Continue to stand on the promises of God, no matter how circumstances appear. Our God is Faithful!

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” — Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) Whatever we go through today, all we really need to remember is that God is with us and He has already gone before us and made a way. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). Praise the LORD!

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation . — Psalm 91:14-16 (AMP) And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength (Mark 12:30, NKJV). Aim all of your affections, devotion and desires toward our heavenly Father and you shall experience true satisfaction and everlasting peace!

And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us?” — Judges 6:12-13a (NKJV) Have you ever felt like Gideon and wondered, if God is with you, why is all this “stuff” happening to you? You can be certain that God is with you, because He said, He would never leave you or forsake you and our God is faithful. Let us remember that our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Corinthians 4:17-18, NIV). Surely God will be with you and you shall defeat your enemies (Judges 6:16).

But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” — Acts 23:11 (NKJV) Today, we can be of good cheer, because the Lord stands by us. If all others forsake us, He will still be there. The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3, NIV). In 2 Timothy 4:17, the Apostle Paul says, “the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached...” We are to bear witness of Jesus, at this time, to this generation, and He stands by us to give us strength.

For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him. — Luke 5:9-11 (NKJV) One characteristic of a disciple of Jesus Christ is that they forsake all. In Philippians 3:8 (GW), the Apostle Paul says, “I consider everything else worthless because I’m much better off knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. It’s because of him that I think of everything as worthless. I threw it all away in order to gain Christ” Another trait of the early disciples is that they followed Jesus. They did not make any excuses. Jesus said,  “Follow Me” and they simply followed Him. When we forsake all and follow Him, astonishing things happen in our midst!

G od is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.   —  Psalm 46:1 (NKJV) Our help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber (Psalm 121:2-3). When you go through the storms of life, our God is a very present help. He will not abandon you or forsake you. Our God will not run out on you. No matter what troubles may come, look to the LORD, Almighty God and rely on Him to be with you and to help you get through it. He is ALL you need Him to be and even more.

The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.  — Psalm 138:8 (NKJV) Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you (1 Peter 5:7, NLT). Our heavenly Father will perfect all that concerns you. He will work everything together for good. Praise the LORD, for His mercy endures forever!

The LORD is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.  — Psalm 145:17-18 (NIV) While we may not always understand the circumstances that God allows to come our way, we can be assured that the LORD our God is righteous and just in all the works which He does. As He says in Isaiah 55:9 “My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” God is also forever faithful. He will never leave us or forsake us. No matter what comes our way, our heavenly Father, will be with us and He will see us through it all. Amen!

Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. — Psalm 37:3 (NKJV) Instead of feeding on your fears and worries, feed on the faithfulness of our God. His faithfulness endures to all generations (Psalm 119:90). Chew on the Word that says, He will never leave you or forsake you. Even when we are not faithful to Him, He still remains faithful. When we call upon Him, He always answers. Great is His faithfulness!
