Manna for Your Morning

“Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone, determined to do his will. And I know that I will not be put to shame.” — Isaiah 50:7 (NLT) “Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God.” (Isaiah 50:10 NLT) Those who trust in Him will never be put to shame. (See Isaiah 49:23 NLT) Be determined to do God's will. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. (See Isaiah 55:9)  “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from Me,” says the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17 AMP)

For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” — Isaiah 41:13 (ESV) The great “ I AM ” is the One who helps us. Elohim, Creator of the universe, and all it contains. He is the all-sufficient and all-powerful El Shaddai. He gives to all life, breath, and all things. (See Acts 17:25 NKJV) Nothing is too difficult for the LORD. God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world… (See Ephesians 1:4 VOICE) And He doesn't leave us as orphans. He promises to be with us always. When you pass through the waters, He will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. (See Isaiah 43:2 ESV) Whatever you're going through today, you can confidently rely on His help. Amen.

The LORD is good to everyone; his compassion rests on all he has made. — Psalm 145:9 (CSB) Everything God does is right— the trademark on all his works is love. (Psalm 145:17 MSG) The LORD is faithful to fulfill every promise He has made. The LORD helps all who fall; he raises up all who are oppressed. (Psalm 145:14 CSB) The LORD protects all those who love him, but he destroys the wicked. (Psalm 145:20 NLT) The LORD is near all who call out to him, all who call out to him with integrity. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry for help and saves them. (Psalm 145:18-19 CSB) Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; (Psalm103:2 NASB) I exalt you, my God the King, and bless your name forever and ever. (Psalm 145:1 CSB) My mouth will declare the LORD’s praise; let every living thing bless his holy name forever and ever.  — Psalm 145:21 (CSB)

The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. — Psalm 28:7 (NLT) When you are good and tired of trying to do things in your own strength, draw from the well of the LORD. He is the source of our strength. Trust in Him with unwavering confidence for our help comes from Him. God strengthens the weary and gives vitality to those worn down by age and care (Isaiah 40:29 (VOICE). The LORD is our shield. When we abide in the shadow of His wings, we are protected from the flaming arrows of the evil one. Let us seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence]. (1 Chronicles 16:11 AMP) Finally, brothers and sisters, draw your strength and might from God.  — Ephesians 6:10 (VOICE)

The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. — Psalm 28:7 (NLT) The LORD gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. (Isaiah 40:29). He is a shield to all who trust in Him (Psalm 18:30). He is our helper. Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. (Psalm 105:4 NASB) Let seeking the LORD and following after Him be a lifelong pursuit. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11 NKJV)

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. — Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) Where do you turn in time of need? Let us go to our heavenly Father and confidently trust in Him. In His throne room, we receive mercy. As we surrender all on His altar, we will find the grace that strengthens us and helps us overcome life’s  challenges. The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles (Psalm 34:17 NLT).

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) May we know our great and mighty God. He strengthens you and helps you. He holds you up with His victorious right hand (Isaiah 41:10 NLT). He faithfully comes to our rescue, each and every time. Let us give thanks and continually sing His praises!

The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. — Psalm 145:14 (NLT) Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help (Psalm 146:3 NKJV). How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, (Psalm 146:5 NASB). If you are bent over from the weight of the burden you are carrying on your shoulders, go to God for help. Cast all your cares and concerns upon Him for He cares for you. He is our help and our only hope!
