Manna for Your Morning

This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel and your Creator: “Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands? I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command. — Isaiah 45:11-12 (NLT) We belong to Yahweh, our Maker and Redeemer. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:4-5 NLT) He chose us and He also helps us. We are never forgotten. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (See Hebrews 13:5) No matter what you are going through today, know that He is with you and He will deliver you.  This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD you...

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the LORD. For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
 He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.  — Psalms 96:11-13 (NKJV) Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; For the LORD our God is holy.

“Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change.” — James (Jacob) 1:17 (TPT) Every good and perfect gift has been freely given to us by our heavenly Father. By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. (2 Peter 1:3 NLT) God has lavished on us extraordinary grace. Praise God for his astonishing gift, which is far too great for words! (See 2 Corinthians 9:14-15 TPT) God’s gracious gift is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. (See Romans 6:23 TLV) For by grace we have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. (Ephesians 2:8 NKJV) May we receive all the Father has for us with an open and humble heart.  Oh, that men would give thanks to t...

“Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?

You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again.” — Psalms 71:19-21 (NLT) No matter what hardships come, remember Yahweh is a God of restoration.  …You, O Yahweh, are a shield about me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

(Psalms 30:1 LSB)  O God, restore us and cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. (Psalms 80:3  NASB1995)  He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. — Psalms 23:3 (AMP)

“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 gives freedom to the prisoners. (See Psalms 146:7)  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God. (1 Corinthians 2:12 AMP) “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) As we have freely received the love...

Praise the LORD! Yes, give praise, O servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD now and forever. Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the LORD. For the LORD is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens. — Psalms 113:1-4 (NLT) Our God is good and everything He does is good.

““For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.” — Isaiah 55:8-9 NASB Our thoughts are like the railroad tracks and our ways are like the train. Our thoughts will lay the path for the actions we take. Continually renew your mind with the Word of God. And elevate your thoughts. For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he... — Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)

He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. — James 1:17 (NLT) Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above. And JESUS is the most perfect gift of all. Receive Him.

So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love.

There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. — Romans 8:38 (TPT) Our heavenly Father is faithful. His love triumphs over any challenge that comes our way.

(Romans 8:39 TPT) Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness. — Psalm 37:3 (AMP)

“Rain down, O heavens, from above, let the clouds pour down righteousness [all the blessings of God]; Let the earth open up, let salvation bear fruit, and righteousness spring up with it;  I, the LORD, have created it.” — Isaiah 45:8 (AMP) There is nothing we can do to earn salvation, we are saved by accepting Christ as our Savior. Just as the earth receives the rain that falls, we are to open our hearts and receive Christ, our King. When the rain waters the ground it causes growth and the bearing of fruit. When we receive Jesus in our hearts, and plant the Word of God (seed) on good soil, we will bloom in the Kingdom of God. And fruit will be produced in our lives. Be open to receive the Lord and all the wonderful blessings of God: salvation, love, joy, peace, righteousness, etc. “Open up, heavens, and rain. Clouds, pour out buckets of my goodness! Loosen up, earth, and bloom salvation; sprout right living. I, God, generate all this.” — Isaiah 45:8 (MSG)

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. — Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) Let us elevate our thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9) So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective. (Colossians 3:2 MSG) Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].  — Phili...

(Psalm 128:4 AMP)

God, the LORD, created the heavens and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. — Isaiah 42:5  (NLT) Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. — Psalm 34:5 (NLT) Our heavenly Father is Elohim, the great Creator. He knit us together in our mother’s womb and gave us the breath of life. He wrote all our days in His book before one of them came to be. Let us look to Him for help, before we phone a friend or consult a counselor. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. (Psalm 118:8) He is the source of our help, our hope, our peace and our joy. Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope! ( Romans 15:1...

Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. — Psalm 36:5  (NLT)  Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations... — Psalm 119:90a (NASB) Thank the LORD for His continual faithfulness. He is faithful to get us through the difficult days and challenging situations. In faithfulness, He strengthens us when we are weak. He is faithful to love us unconditionally. When we cast all our anxiety on Him, He is faithful to give us His perfect peace. He will trade our sorrow for joy. He is faithful to always be with us and stand by our side. In faithfulness, He will complete the good plans He has for us. He is faithful to fulfill all His promises. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness. (Psalm 33:4 NASB) He cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18) and His word does not return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). Rejoice in His faithfulness today!

Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them. But you are always the same; you will live forever. — Psalm 102:25-27 (NLT) The world around us is in a constant state of change, but we can count on the stability of our God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (Psalm 23:3 AMP). For this is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even until death. (Psalm 48:14 AMP)

…in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (AMP) As we put our confidence in the LORD, we are able to be thankful in spite of difficult or trying situations.
