Manna for Your Morning

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” — Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. (See John 10:10a AMP) In Hosea 4:6 (NLT), the LORD said, His people are being destroyed because they don’t know Him. “So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] LORD [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn, and He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 AMP) “I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’” — Hosea 10:12 (N...

Yahweh’s tender mercies have no end, and the kindness of his endless love is never exhausted. New, fresh mercies greet me with every sunrise. So wonderfully great is your faithfulness! I tell my soul, “Yahweh is my abundant portion. I need nothing more. So, I will put all my hope in him.” — Lamentations 3:22-24 (TPT) Yahweh is our Source. He is El Shaddai, the all Sufficient One. In Him, we have all that we need. He is Elohim, the all-powerful Creator of the universe. He is the Everlasting God (El Olam), Who sees you (El Roi). He is a faithful Father and a constant Companion. He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. “His grace is sufficient for us. His lovingkindness and His mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation; for His power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in our weakness.” (See 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 AMP) He is our strong tower and a safe sanctuary. Open your heart and receive His lovingkindness and fresh new mercie...

“When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation.” — Proverbs 10:25 (NLT) When you go through deep waters, the LORD will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (See Isaiah 43:2 NLT) In the midst of the storms of life, we can be like Jesus, in Mark 4:37-39 (NLT). When a fierce storm came up, high waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water, but Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. He was calm and comfortable in the midst of the storm because His trust was in our heavenly Father.  The LORD displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. (See Nahum 1:3 NLT) He is a tower of refuge to the poor, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. He is a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. (See Isaiah 25:4 NLT) And the Lord GOD ha...

A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], but the LORD directs his steps and establishes them.  — Proverbs 16:9 (AMP) We can make our plans, but we still need to seek God's will in all that we do. And He will show us the right path to take, the one that leads to life and peace. “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) Let us humble ourselves under the mighty hand of Yahweh, and be led by His Holy Spirit, Who is our Helper. In spite of the challenges we face, we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (See Romans 8:28)

On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. — Psalm 62:7-8 (NASB1995) He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. (Psalm 62:2) ...the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken. (Psalm 33:11 NLT) Everything we have and ever hope to be, ultimately rests on the Sovereign God, El Elyon (the God Most High). For in Him we live and move and have our being. (See Acts 17:28) He is the One Who formed us in the womb of our mothers, and wrote all our days in His book. (See Psalm 139:13&16). He is the all-sufficient One, the eternal Source of all that we will ever need. His supply never runs dry. Draw near to our everlasting God and He will draw near to you. Let us come to Him, with humble hearts, and reside in His Presence, as His Holy Spirit abides in us. Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my pr...

But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” — Mark 4:37-38 (NLT) The enemy wants you to believe that God doesn't care about you. Never listen to his lies. Jesus is Immanuel, “God With Us” and He cares about you. Jesus gave His life to save us and restore us back into fellowship with the Father. As violent storms arise in your life, stand strong in faith and trust the Lord to deliver you. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39 NLT) Even the wind and waves obey Him. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. (See 1 Peter 5:7 NASB1995)

Come on, everyone! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord! Let’s shout our loudest praises to our God who saved us! Everyone come meet his face with a thankful heart. Don’t hold back your praises; make him great by your shouts of joy! For the Lord is the greatest of all, King-God over all other gods! — Psalm 95:1-3 (TPT) Come and kneel before this Creator-God; come and bow before the mighty God, our majestic maker! For we are those he cares for, and he is the God we worship. (See Psalm 95:6-7 TPT) Be in awe before his majesty. Be in awe before such power and might! Come worship wonderful Yahweh, arrayed in all his splendor, bowing in worship as he appears in the beauty of holiness. Give him the honor due his name. Worship him wearing the glory-garments of your holy, priestly calling! (Psalm 29:2 TPT)  Praise the LORD for what He has done and is doing. Worship Him, for Who He is: the great I AM, Yahweh, and Immanuel (God with us). And don’t hold back.
