Manna for Your Morning

Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might,
 nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.” — Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NKJV) May we seek to truly know and understand Yahweh. Acknowledge and honor Him as the Sovereign God, the all-powerful Creator of the universe. Nothing or no one can compare with the LORD. And He does not change (See Malachi 3:6). He still delights in showing lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness in the earth. The LORD has loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness He has drawn you. (See Jeremiah 31:3) He redeems your life from destruction, and crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. (See Psalms 103:4 NKJV) ...each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each ni...

What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?  — Romans 8:31 (AMP) Yahweh is both, for us and with us. Let us make sure we are wholeheartedly with Him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (See 1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV) Second Chronicles 16:9 (NLT) says: “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him…” We cannot straddle the fence. We are either walking with Yahweh, Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, or we are rolling with the devil, this world, or our flesh. For His ways are higher than our ways,
 and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. (See Isaiah 55:9) And let us not get caught up in religious traditions and surface level rituals, just going through the motions. May our hearts be truly devoted and connected to our heavenly Father, King Yeshua, and living as citizens and ambassadors of His everla...

Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals, but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel. — 2 Chronicles 17:3-4 (NKJV) Second Chronicles 17:6 says: Jehoshaphat’s heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah. He had the Levites and the priests go throughout all the cities of Judah, with the Book of the Law of the LORD and they taught the people. (See 2 Chronicles 17:7-9) Yahweh is faithful to His Word, and He greatly blessed Jehoshaphat. Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor. (See 2 Chronicles 17:5 LSB) And the fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat. (2 Chronicles 17:10 NKJV)  Delight yourself also in the LORD, a...

But I have this [charge] against you, that you have left your first love [you have lost the depth of love that you first had for Me]. — Revelation 2:4 (AMP) Don't be like the church of Ephesus, and lose the depth of love you have for Yahweh. First Peter 4:8 (NASB1995) says: above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. The love of God in us, helps us to forgive and overlook each another’s faults. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear. (see 1 John 4:18) And the love God has for us is indeed perfect. Open you heart to receive His perfect love and let it cover everyone He brings your way.  And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be...

This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NASB1995) We can rejoice because the LORD knows the plans He has for us. All of our days were written in His book before we were born. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) Hallelujah! We can be glad that our awesome God is good and the plans He has for us are good. Rejoice that the LORD is always with us. We will not be shaken, for he is right beside us. (See Psalm 16:8 NLT) Be confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. (See Romans 8:28 VOICE) “Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the LORD and whose hope and confident expectation is the LORD. — Jeremiah 17:7 (AMP)

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.  — Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) Jesus, the Prince of Peace, has given us His peace, and it will continually guard our hearts and minds as we abide in Christ. Therefore, we need not be anxious nor fearful. Let His perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge. (See John 14:27 AMP)  Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all. — 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NLT) 

Though the fig tree does not blossom And there is no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive fails And the fields produce no food, Though the flock is cut off from the fold And there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the LORD; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation!  — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (AMP) No matter how dismal circumstances may appear, I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. (See Psalm 71:14) You are my rock and my fortress. You are my strong refuge (See Psalm 71:3, 7) For You are my hope; O Lord God. My praise is continually of You. (See Psalm 71:5-6)

…in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (AMP) Ephesians 5:20 (VOICE) instructs us to give thanks to God the Father every day through the name of our Lord Jesus the Anointed for all He has done. Every day we are to be thankful, no matter what the circumstances. Since He woke you up this morning, there is more to come. God is still working and moving in your life and in your heart. Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! (Psalm 103:1-5 NLT)

“ And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ” — John 8:32 (NKJV) The truth will make you free, however, you have to know the truth before it can set you free. We grow in our knowledge of truth as we meditate in the Word of God, day and night. Joshua 1:8 says, this Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Buy the truth, and do not sell it, (Proverbs 23:23). Treasure His Word in your heart. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations. (Psalm 100:5  NKJV)

Do not let your heart envy sinners [who live godless lives and have no hope of salvation], but [continue to] live in the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the LORD day by day. Surely there is a future [and a reward], and your hope and expectation will not be cut off. — Proverbs 23:17-18 (AMP) Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become restless and disturbed within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence. (Psalm 42:5 AMP). Know that God is with you. Do not lose hope. Your hope will not be disappointed. Expect Him to do great things in you and in your life, as you sincerely seek Him and His will. … he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6b NKJV)

“But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.” — Genesis 17:21 (NKJV) Even though Sarah was in her nineties, well past childbearing years, she did conceive and bear Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. (Genesis 21:2). It may seem like it is well past the time for you to have given birth to the dreams and aspirations God  placed inside of you. But things don't happen on our timetable. Just as there is a time for conception, growth and development, there is a set time for you to give birth. You don't want to push it out prematurely. Put your energy into what God has called you to do today. The manifestation of your desires and dreams will happen at the appointed time and it will be sweet. Is anything too hard for the LORD? (Genesis 18:14a)

So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” — Nehemiah 6:3 (NKJV) The adversaries of the Israelites continually mocked, harassed and threatened Nehemiah, in an attempt to stop the work of God in their lives. Just as our enemy wants to pull you down and stop the work of God in your life. Don’t give place to the distractions. As you remain diligent to do the work God has given you, He will take care of all that concerns you. Whatever your God given assignment, whether big or small, it’s a great work. Arise and continue to build!

But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” — Luke 18:27 (NKJV) It does not matter how many seemingly impossible situations are in your midst, with Almighty God, all things are possible. Our wonder-working God knows no limits and He has no boundaries. Jesus said, “It is finished!” He has overcome the world and all that is in it. In His Presence, diseases flee, bondages are destroyed, and circumstances change; hearts are healed, and transformed. Keep the faith. Only believe. Nothing is too difficult for our great God!

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”  — Psalm 70:4 (NLT) Let us be filled with joy and gladness of heart, in the Presence of the LORD. For great is the LORD, our God. He is bigger than any mountain that stands in our way. When the enemy comes at you with his lies, remind him of the truth: our God is greater. We can rejoice because we have the victory, in Him!

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.  — Psalm 32:8 (NIV) Our heavenly Father instructs us and teaches us the way we should go, with a loving eye on us. He guides us along the best pathway for our lives. His Holy Spirit dwells in us to counsel us and guide us into all the truth. Trust in the LORD and follow Him all the days of your life. Only then will we experience peace, joy, true success and lasting fulfillment.

THOSE WHO trust in, lean on, and confidently hope in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides and stands fast forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from this time forth and forever. Psalm 125:1-2 (Amp) When we trust in and lean on the LORD, we will endure forever. The LORD surrounds his people, both now and forevermore. With God on our side, we will not be defeated. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies (Psalm 60:12).

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3 (NLT) We will not be disappointed when we patiently wait for the Lord. When we have lost all hope, He lifts us out of the pit of despair and sets us on solid ground. Sing a new song to the Lord and praise Him for all He has done.

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD. Proverbs 21:30 (NIV) If we desire lasting success in life, we must follow the LORD and walk according to His will. Jesus prayed to our heavenly Father, "Your will be done," (Matthew 6:10). The LORD has wonderful plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a glorious future (Jeremiah 29:11). His plans for us are greater than we can ask or imagine. Trust that your heavenly Father is working for your good and He knows what is best. Amen.  Love, Jackie
