Manna for Your Morning

When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears and rescues them from all their distress and troubles. The LORD is near to the heartbroken and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin). Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, but the LORD rescues him from them all. — Psalms 34:17-19 (AMP) “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” (Psalms 34:8 NKJV) “All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are trustworthy. They are forever true, to be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.” (Psalms 111:7-8 NLT) No matter what or who confronts you today, remember that Yahweh is good and He delivers the righteous out of all their troubles.

I called on Your name, O Yahweh, out of the lowest pit. You have heard my voice, “Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, from my cry for help.” You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not fear!” — Lamentations 3:55-57 (LSB) Our heavenly Father hears His children when they call  upon Him for help and He is faithful to deliver us from all our troubles. Psalms 34:17 (NKJV) says: The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. “For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love.” (Lamentations 3:31-32 NLT) Psalms 97:10 (NKJV) says, He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.  And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, O Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek You. — Psalms 9:10 (LSB)

Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish. He said, “I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and LORD, you heard me! — Jonah 2:1-2 (NLT) Even though Jonah ended up in the belly of a great fish because he was trying to get away from the LORD, (See Jonah 1:3), Yahweh was still faithful to listen to his cries. If you are in great trouble, cry out to the LORD. He will listen and answer. Psalm 120:1 (AMP) says: In my trouble I cried to the LORD, and He answered me. I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. When I am overwhelmed, he alone knows the way I should turn… (See Psalm 142:2-3 NLT) ...I pray to you, O LORD. I say, “You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.” (Psalm 142:5 NLT) May our greatest desire be for Yahweh, His Presence, His will and His ways.

They cause the poor to cry out, catching God’s attention. He hears the cries of the needy. But if he chooses to remain quiet, who can criticize him? When he hides his face, no one can find him, whether an individual or a nation. — Job 34:28-29 (NLT) Know that God hears the cries of His people. Psalm 78:35 says, the Israelites remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer. May we be like the Israelites, and remember that God is our rock, the stability of our times. A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. (Isaiah 33:6a) When we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. (See James 4:8) The Most High God is our Redeemer. He redeems our lives from the pit, and crowns us with lovingkindness and compassion. (See Psalm 103:4)

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. — Revelation 3:20 (NASB) Jesus is continually knocking. Pay attention and have ears to hear His call. Open the door of your heart and invite Him in. Dine with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He wants to bring healing and wholeness to every part of our hearts and every area of our lives. May we partake of the living Bread. In John 6:48 (AMP), Jesus said: “I am the Bread of Life [the Living Bread which gives and sustains life].” Let the Living Water satisfy your soul. In John 7:37 (NLT) Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me!” “Anyone who believes in me may come and drink!

And he rescued me from certain death. — 2 Timothy 4:16-17 (NLT) Just as the Lord was with the Apostle Paul, He is with you. All others may abandon you, but the Lord stands with you and gives you strength. He empowers you to do all that He has called you to do. The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17 NLT) Amen.

A hostile world! I call to God, I cry to God to help me. From his palace he hears my call; my cry brings me right into his presence— a private audience! — Psalm 18:6 (MSG) Fear of human opinion can disable you from doing what God has called you to do. (Proverbs 29:25). May we live for an audience of One, the One who created us and will never abandon us.

The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him. ” May we follow in His footsteps and always live to please God. Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. (1 Thessalonians 4:1 NLT)

Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the LORD hears my voice. — Psalm 55:17 (NLT) You can be certain that your cries do not fall on deaf ears. Whenever you call upon Him, the ear of the LORD is open to hear your cry. Not only does He hear, He also responds. He sends the answer and fulfills the need. He brings health and healing. Malachi 4:2 says, to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. For those in darkness, His light shines brightly. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness (2 Corinthians 4:6a). Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; (Psalm 32:6a NIV)

Don’t fall for his tricks, distractions and temptations. When we cry out to God, He hears us and comes to the rescue. Just as a loving parent listens for the cry of their child, our God loves and us and keeps watch over us. Say “yes” to God, His ways and His will. Resist the devil and submit to our heavenly Father. He only wants the best for you. And He is able able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, (Ephesians 3:20 NIV).

He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. — Matthew 22:3 (NIV) Jesus tells a parable about a king who is having a weeding feast for his son. But those who were invited made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. (Matthew 22:5 NKJV). They were too busy doing their own thing, to partake of what the king had for them. In Revelation 3:20 (NKJV), Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Jesus is trying to get something to you. He has prepared the banquet table. Don’t make light of the privilege and honor to fellowship with the King of kings. Open the door of your heart.

“I called out your name, O God, called from the bottom of the pit. You listened when I called out, ‘Don’t shut your ears! Get me out of here! Save me!’ You came close when I called out. You said, ‘It’s going to be all right.’ — Lamentations 3:55-57 (MSG) No matter how low you go, its never to late to call upon the LORD. When you call out,  He hears your voice and draws near. When you're at rock bottom, He will lift you out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire (Psalm 40:2 NLT).

I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. — Psalm 116:1-2 (NKJV) The Psalmist said, “I found trouble and sorrow. Then I called upon the name of the LORD” (Psalm 116:3-4). When you are distressed or sorrowful, call upon the LORD. He will answer you and set you in a broad, spacious place. The LORD is on your side; do not fear. What can man do to you? (Psalm 118:5-6) It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man (Psalm 118:8 AMP). Call upon Him as long as you live. He hears your voice.

The LORD hears your voice when you call to Him (Psalm 4:3). His line is always open, and He answers when we call. For God is good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon Him (Psalm 86:5). Oh, give thanks to the LORD, who is worthy to be praised! Call upon His name forevermore!

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?” — Matthew 2:1-2a (NKJV) The wise men were looking for Jesus. Who or what are you searching for today? Is your heart longing for more of Jesus? In Jeremiah 29:13, the LORD says, “you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” If you are seeking Jesus, take comfort in knowing that Jesus is near. In Revelation 3:20, He says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Come, dine with the King!

Today is the day of salvation. — 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NLT) Now is the time of God’s favor (2 Corinthians 6:2, NIV). Regardless of what has happened in the past, now is just the right time for you to seek God’s help. He hears you now! Whenever you need Him, He is always there. Now is the day of salvation. NOW is the time! Let’s share the Good News with others, who also need God’s help.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. — Romans 8:28 (NKJV) Let us refuse all doubt and live in what we know: ...we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one (1 Corinthians 8:4). Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him (John 9:31). And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him (1 John 5:15). Throughout the good, the bad and the ugly, continue to lift up your petitions to God, knowing that He hears you and that He is working all things together for GOOD. Amen!
