Manna for Your Morning

Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals. — Psalm 36:5-6 (NIV) Not only does the LORD's unfailing love cover the earth, it reaches way up into the heavens. And nothing in this world can separate us from the love of God. His faithfulness is so great it expands to the skies, and it endures forever. The LORD is faithful in everything He does. Always be mindful of His unfailing love and live in reliance on His faithfulness (Psalm 26:4).

But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Your works.  — Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Let nothing separate you from the presence of our heavenly Father. Being united with God is our highest good (Psalm 73:28, GW). The LORD is a safe sanctuary and a strong fortress. With God by our side, we are more than conquerors! Remember to tell everyone about the wonderful works He has done in your life.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  “Glory to God in the highest, a nd on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” Luke 2:13-14 (NKJV) When the angel announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, a multitude of the heavenly host praised God. As we celebrate the birth of Christ the Lord, may we worship God with all of our hearts for this amazing act of love. He sent His Son to this earth to save us. Glory hallelujah! Let everyone who has breath praise the LORD!

Being united with God is my highest good. I have made the Almighty LORD my refuge so that I may report everything that he has done. Psalm 73:28 (GW) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Being united with our heavenly Father is our highest good. The person who is joined to the Lord is one with Him in spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17). And as long as we stand with God, no one will be able to stand against us. No weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). With God's powerful presence at work in us, we are more than conquerors.
