Manna for Your Morning

The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. The LORD is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. — Psalms 145:8-9 (NASB1995) Yahweh generously gives us what is good, His grace and glory. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (See Psalms 84:11 NASB1995) He is everything we need. He is El Shaddai, the all-sufficient, all-bountiful, Almighty God. He is the very source of ALL our blessings. He is Elohim, the all-powerful Creator of the universe and all it contains. He formed our innermost parts and knit us together in the womb of our mother. (See Psalms 139:13) He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. He foresees all of our needs. Matthew 6:8 says, our Father knows what we need before we ask Him. “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11 NKJV)  Yahweh is Jehovah Shalom, our peace. He will...

And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” — Matthew 11:2-3 (NKJV) In Matthew 3:16-17, John the Baptist baptized Yeshua and heard the voice of the Father say: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” What caused him to doubt? Know that Yeshua is the Messiah, the one and only Savior of the world. Never let difficult circumstances cause you to doubt. Yeshua is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. (See John 14:6) We don’t need to look for anyone else. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. — John 3:16-17 (NKJV)

“ Listen to me, all you who are serious about right living and committed to seeking God. Ponder the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were dug. ” — Isaiah 51:1 (MSG) Our God is solid and immovable. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. (Psalm 62:7  NLT) “Trust in the LORD forever, for in God the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock. (Isaiah 26:4 NASB) …just as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.” (Romans 9:33 NASB) Listen, Heavens, I have something to tell you. Attention, Earth, I’ve got a mouth full of words. My teaching, let it fall like a gentle rain, my words arrive like morning dew, like a sprinkling rain on new grass, like spring showers on the garden. For it’s God’s Name I’m preaching— respond to the greatness of our God! The Rock: His works are perfect, and the way he works is fair and just; A Go...

Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore! — Psalm 105:4 (NKJV) Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs, you who seek God. Live a happy life! Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence. Remember the world of wonders he has made, his miracles, and the verdicts he’s rendered— (Psalm 105:3-5 MSG). When we seek His face, we draw closer to Him. It is the best way to become more acquainted with our heavenly Father. He already knows everything about us, including how many hairs we have on our head. He desires a personal and intimate relationship with you. He woke you up this morning and poured fresh new mercies and compassions on you. Make Him the source of your joy and you will live a happy life. Knowing that nothing is too difficult for Him.

The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. — Psalm 25:8 (NLT) Psalm 145:9  (NKJV) says, The LORD is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. God shows no favoritism. (Acts 10:24 NLT) He is good to ALL. Circumstances may not always appear good, but remember that God is good and the plans He has for you are good. We may not be able to make sense of some things in our limited, human understanding. However, let us stay the course with Christ. He has a path for each person. Commit to closely following Him and take each step by faith. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. (1 Peter 2:21 NLT)

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works. — Psalm 73:28 (NASB) When Jesus gave His life on the cross, to redeem us, the veil of the temple was torn in two. We now have access to the throne room of our heavenly Father. Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]. (Hebrews 4:16 AMP) The blood of Jesus has given us access and His Holy Spirit within  us is available to assist us every minute of the day. As you draw near to God, you will receive mercy, and find grace to help when you need it most. Why tackle life's challenges in your own strength, when you can have the supernatural help and power of Almighty God working on your behalf?

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works. — Psalm 73:28 (NASB) Let us draw near to God for the sheer pleasure of being in His Presence. He will make known to you the path of life; In His presence is fullness of joy; (Psalm 16:11a NASB). He is a giver of every perfect gift, but the most excellent present of all, is His Presence. His Presence empowers us to become who He has called us to become and to do all that He has called us to do. He is our champion and constant companion. Always pursue a closer walk with Him. Our God is full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. (Psalm 86:15). In His Presence we become more like Him. Can the people in your life tell you have been spending time in His Presence?

My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. — Psalm 63:8 (NKJV) But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works. (Psalm 73:28 NASB). It is good for us to follow closely behind the Lord. The less distance the less opportunity for other things to distract us and the less likely we are to take detours away from the path He has us on.

But now, O LORD, You are our Father, we are the clay, and You our potter; and all of us are the work of Your hand. — Isaiah 64:8 (NASB) Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel (Jeremiah 18:3 NKJV). When the potter goes to the wheel, it is intentional. He has a vision of something in his heart to make. When God formed you in your mother’s womb, He did it intentionally and it gave Him great pleasure. Psalm 139:14 says, marvelous are His works, that includes you. Our heavenly Father created you with a purpose in mind. You are not an accident and your life is not a mistake. All the days ordained for you have been written in His book (Psalm 139:16). You have a glorious destiny, a desired end. He created each one of us unique, and in all different shapes, colors and sizes. One does not take value away from the other. Only you can fulfill the purpose He created you for. Stay on the Potter's wheel and let Him continue His work in you...

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him, that I may tell of all Your works. — Psalm 73:28 (AMP) It is good for us to stay close to God. When we allow distance to grow between us, we are more susceptible to the many worldly distractions that will draw us away from Him. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. (James 4:8 NLT) So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time.  (James 4:7 MSG).
