Manna for Your Morning

“Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD.” — Psalms 89:15 (NLT) Worship is more than a song and a shout. It's a lifestyle that honors God by how we live, and the words we speak. Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the LORD [and worships Him with obedience], who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. (Psalms 128:1 AMP) Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool— He is holy. (Psalms 99:5 NKJV) Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name; Worship Yahweh in the beauty and majesty of His holiness. (See Psalms 29:2) All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is Yahweh’s and He rules over the nations. (Psalms 22:27-28 LSB) “But be careful. Don’t let your heart be deceived so that you turn away from the LORD and serve and worship other gods.” (Deuteronomy 11:16 NLT) ‘You sh...

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD. — Psalm 89:15 (NLT) Why worry, when you are called to worship? Exalt the Lord our God and worship at His holy hill, for holy is the Lord our God. (Psalm 99:9 NASB) Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Psalm 29:2 NKJV) O LORD, our LORD, How majestic is Your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:9 NASB) Just one day in the courts of Your temple is greater than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather serve as a porter at my God’s doorstep than live in luxury in the house of the wicked. (Psalm 84:10 VOICE)

Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.  — Psalm 24:7-9 (NKJV) Was this psalmist telling us to lift up our heads because we are in a state of slumber? Let us arise, for the glory of the LORD is shining on us. If your head is hung low today, look UP. Let us open the gates of our hearts that the King of glory may enter. Don't let the bars of doubt and fear keep Him out. May we open the gates of our eyes and see the beauty of the LORD. May we open the gates of our ears to hear His still small voice. Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD. (Psalm 89:15 NLT) The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they c...

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD. They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation. They exult in your righteousness. — Psalm 89:15-16 (NLT) When we continually worship the LORD in our hearts and minds, we walk in the light of His Presence. Then we are able to rejoice all day because the LORD is good and He does good! (Psalm 119:68). The Message Bible says, 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 89:18) By this I know that You favor and delight in me, because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me. As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and You set me in Your presence forever. (Psalm 41:11-12 AMP) Amen and Hallelujah!

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD. — Psalm 89:15 (NLT) Worry eats away at your faith. Because it’s rooted in fear, it will often paralyze you and distort your thought process, which hinders you from recognizing and speaking the truth of God’s Word. On the other hand, worship keeps the channels of communication between you and our Heavenly Father open. It releases the power of heaven to work on your behalf in the earthly realm. Worry gives the enemy control to run rampant in your life. Worship enables us to walk in victory with our Lord and Savior, in the light of His Presence. Worry or worship? It’s your choice. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. (Psalm 95:6 NKJV)
