Manna for Your Morning

“Though the LORD is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud.” — Psalms 138:6 (NLT) “The Lord supports the humble…” (See Psalms 147:6 NLT) “He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.” (Psalms 25:9-10 NLT) “Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” (Proverbs 11:2 NLT) A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor. (Proverbs 29:23 NKJV) And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12 NKJV) …“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (See 1 Peter 5:5-7 NKJV) “Praise his name with dancing, accompanied by tambourine and harp. For the LORD delights in his people; he crowns the humble wit...

A great windstorm arises, and the waves were rushing into the boat. The boat was beginning to fill up. But Yeshua was in the back of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. They wake Him up and say to Him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are perishing?” — Mark 4:37-38 (TLV) What a question! Never think for one second that our mighty Savior doesn’t care about you. In Mark 1:41 (TLV), Yeshua is moved with compassion to touch and heal a man with leprosy. Matthew 9:36 says, when He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. In Mark 4:40, He asked the disciples, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” When you encounter storms of any kind, may you have faith to know that Yeshua, the Prince of Peace is able to calm any storm, just as He did in Mark 4:39. And He cares for us so much that He gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age. (See Galatians 1:4) When the storms of life come, the wicke...

casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. — 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Let us cast each and every care, concern and anxious thought on Yahweh, because He cares for us deeply. “And His mercy is upon generation after generation toward those who [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him.” (Luke 1:50 AMP) Be glad and rejoice in His unfailing love, for He has seen your troubles, and He cares about the anguish of your soul. (See Psalms 31:7 NLT)  For the LORD is our hiding place; He protects us from trouble. He surrounds us with songs of victory. Interlude (See Psalms 32:7)

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world…” — Psalms 19:1-4 (NLT) “O Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who displays Your splendor above the heavens! From the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have established strength because of Your adversaries, to make the enemy and the revengeful cease. When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established; What is man that You remember him, and the son of man that You care for him?” (Psalms 8:1-4 LSB) In all of His glory and splendor, our heavenly Father cares for you. “May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you hi...

The LORD is good, a strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows [He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully] those who take refuge and trust in Him. — Nahum 1:7 (AMP) In Isaiah 29:13 (NKJV), the Lord said, “…these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me…” Yahweh is good and it is good for us to draw near to Him, with sincere hearts. Let us make the Lord GOD our refuge and place our trust in Him alone. Be sure to tell of all His wonderful works. (See Psalms 73:28 AMP) “Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting.” (James (Jacob) 4:8 TPT) “But I’ll keep coming closer and closer to you, Lord Yahweh, for your name is good to me. I’ll keep telling the world of your awesome works, my faithful and glorious God!” — Psalms 73:28 (TPT)

“But it is wrong to say God doesn’t listen, to say the Almighty isn’t concerned.” — Job 35:13 (NLT) In the midst of affliction and adversity, it may seem like God has abandoned you, or that your cries for help are falling on deaf ears. However, Psalms 34:15 (LSB) says: The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous and His ears are open to their cry for help. You can be assured that our Heavenly Father is always listening to the pleas of His children, and He will answer. In addition, 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) says to cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].  From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. — Psalms 61:2 (NKJV)

For we are those he cares for, and he is the God we worship. So drop everything else and listen to his voice! For this is what he’s saying: “Today, when I speak, don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to me like they did when they tested me at Meribah and Massah, the place where they argued with me, their Creator. Your ancestors challenged me over and over with their complaining, even though I had convinced them of my power and love. They still doubted my care for them. — Psalms 95:7-9 (TPT) Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! (See 1 John 3:1 NKJV) Never doubt that our heavenly Father cares for you and will always take care of you. He is a good and faithful Father. For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give. (Romans 8:32 TPT) Listen to His voice, abo...

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. — 1 Peter 5:6-7 (NASB1995) Humble yourselves in the presence of Yahweh and stay close to Him. He is faithful to take care of us. We may have to go through some things but He is faithful to deliver us from all of our troubles. First Peter 5:10-11 says: After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

..and he said, “Listen, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: thus says the LORD to you, ‘Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God’s.” — 2 Chronicles 20:15 (NASB1995) Listen carefully, people of the Most High God. Whatever situation you are facing today, remember that the battle belongs to Yahweh. He goes before us and makes a way. He says cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you. (See 1 Peter 5:7) Don’t be discouraged, nor let difficulties distract you from our everlasting Father and His sovereignty. Our troubles are light and momentary, and they will come to pass, but our great God is eternal. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:4 NKJV) God is with us, and nothing is too difficult for Him. He will work everything together for good for those who love Him and are called according to his purpose for them. (See Romans 8:28) Amen.

For we are those he cares for, and he is the God we worship. So drop everything else and listen to his voice! For this is what he’s saying: “Today, when I speak, don’t even think about turning a deaf ear to me like they did when they tested me at Meribah and Massah, the place where they argued with me, their Creator. Your ancestors challenged me over and over with their complaining, even though I had convinced them of my power and love. They still doubted my care for them. — Psalms 95:7-9 (TPT) Never doubt Yahweh’s care for you. He is a faithful Father who always takes care of His children. His thoughts about you outnumber the grains of sand. (See Psalm 139:17-18) Turn a deaf ear to the voices of this world and tune into His still small voice as He leads you and guides you through this day. Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as...

And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up. Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” — Mark 4:37-38 (NASB1995) The disciples encountered a storm and questioned whether or not Jesus cared about their situation. No matter how intense the storms of life, may we never doubt that Jesus cares about us. Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” (See 1 Peter 5:7 AMP) The LORD is concerned about everything that concerns you. Psalm 37:23 (NLT) says: “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Jesus said: “...the very hairs on your head are all numbered.” (See Matthew 10:30 NLT)  In Mark 4:39 (NASB1995), Jesus got up and...

But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” — Mark 4:37-38 (NLT) The enemy wants you to believe that God doesn't care about you. Never listen to his lies. Jesus is Immanuel, “God With Us” and He cares about you. Jesus gave His life to save us and restore us back into fellowship with the Father. As violent storms arise in your life, stand strong in faith and trust the Lord to deliver you. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39 NLT) Even the wind and waves obey Him. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (See 1 Peter 5:7 NASB1995)

If you bow low in God’s awesome presence, he will eventually exalt you as you leave the timing in his hands. Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you. — 1 Peter 5:6-7 (TPT) In order for us to cast all our cares, anxieties, worries, and concerns on God, we have to first humble ourselves and admit that apart from Him we can do nothing. (See John 15:5) So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God. Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders— he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin. (Psalm 55:22 MSG) The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. — Psalm 34:17 (NLT)

...casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. — 1 Peter 5:7 (NASB) Live free from worry by casting every care, concern, and all of your anxiety on the LORD, because He most definitely cares for you. Destroy speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, (2 Corinthians 10:5). If a thought does not line up with the Word of God it has no place in the mind of a Believer. The LORD will accomplish what concerns you because His lovingkindness is everlasting; (Psalm 138:8) Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. — Psalm 55:22 (NASB)

The Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always. He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; — Psalm 23:1-2 (VOICE) As we remember it’s not about man-made rules and religion, but a personal relationship, we can stop striving, be still and come to a greater knowledge of our good and awesome God. Rest in His Presence. Put the yoke of Jesus on and learn from Him, for He is gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest and renewal for your souls. (Matthew 11:29) And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.” — Exodus 33:14 (NASB)

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. — Hebrews 11:6 (MSG) Let us draw near to God with sincere hearts, full of faith. Believe that He exists and that He cares deeply for you. Jesus could not do many miracles in His hometown because of their lack of faith. May we live by faith, and earnestly and diligently seek God, His will and His Kingdom, because He who promised is faithful. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. (Hebrews 10:23 MSG)

I hate those who worship worthless idols. I trust in the LORD. I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed  me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. — Psalm 31:6-8 (NLT) How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. (Psalm 31:19 NLT) Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalm 31:23-24 NKJV)

“ However, I have this against you: you have abandoned your first love. ” — Revelation 2:4 (VOICE) Never abandon your first love. May your love grow deeper and deeper for the One who will never leave us nor forsake us. Keep Jesus as the first priority in your life, for He cares about you and watches over you very carefully. Let us continually draw near to Him and we will receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Fix your eyes on Jesus, and do not allow the things of this world to distract you and draw your affections away from our Savior, the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8). He is King of kings and Lord of lords!

“In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” — John 16:33 (MSG) Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows, but First Peter 5:7 (AMP) says to cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17 NLT) Amen. Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah. — Psalm 68:19 (NASB)

Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” — Genesis 16:13 (NLT) Our heavenly Father sees us. We can take comfort in the fact that His eye is upon us. The Amplified Bible says, He sees us with understanding and compassion (Genesis 16:13). The LORD watches over us because He cares for us. He guides us and strengthens us as we go. Thank God that He never leaves our side. O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your streng...
