Manna for Your Morning

Then the LORD told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering. — Exodus 3:7 (NLT) When you cry out to the LORD in the midst of your distress know that He hears you. He sees any injustices and he is deeply concerned about your suffering. He will deliver you from all your troubles. As Psalm 34:17 (NLT) says, the LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. Amen. Cry out to the LORD, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. (2 Chronicles 20:15)

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: — Hebrews 12:14 (NKJV) In the process of pursuing peace, let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen (Ephesians 4:29). And remember, a gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare (Proverbs 15:1, NLT).
