Manna for Your Morning

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1 (NIV) The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress (Psalm 46:11 NIV). His Presence avails us of His power. Because His Presence is with us, we can draw from His ample supply of strength. With the Presence of our heavenly Father, comes His protection from the fiery darts of the enemy. His Presence enables us to persevere the times of trouble and stand triumphant through each battle. Amen.

How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God . — Psalm 84:1-2 (NIV) May your soul yearn (an intense feeling of longing for something) for the courts of the LORD. We enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name (Psalm 100:4). Better is one day in His courts than a thousand anywhere else! (Psalm 84:10) We flourish in the courts of our God (Psalm 92:13). Let your heart and your flesh sing for joy to the living God!
