Manna for Your Morning

“ A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel. ” — Luke 2:32 (NKJV) Simeon said Jesus is a light to bring revelation. He is the one light we have in these dark times. May we, as God’s special people, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9), let His light brightly shine through us, that those in the darkness may see the Light and come. We couldn’t be more sure of what we saw and heard—God’s glory, God’s voice. The prophetic Word was confirmed to us. You’ll do well to keep focusing on it. It’s the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the Morning Star in your hearts. (2 Peter 1:19 MSG)

And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.” — Genesis 32:28 (NKJV) In order for any progress to be made, there is going to be a struggle. Jacob wrestled all night with a Man and refused to let go until he received his blessing (Genesis 32:24, 26), then he became Israel, Prince with God. If we persevere through the struggles and the pain, and keep God as our strong foundation, we too will prevail. God gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). Amen!

Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD God of their fathers . — 2 Chronicles 13:18 (NKJV) If you want to be shown more powerful than the forces that oppose you, rely on the LORD. Keep all of your trust and confidence anchored in the LORD, and you will see our mighty God show Himself strong on your behalf. Amen!

Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. — Exodus 6:6 (NKJV) In Exodus 6:5, the LORD says, “I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.” Our heavenly Father, always hears the groans of His children. He knows the anguish of our souls. You have not been forgotten. The LORD will bring you out from under your burdens and rescue you with an outstretched arm.
