Manna for Your Morning

The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. — Psalm 28:7 (AMP) The result of us trying to do something on our own is frustration, despair and weariness. When we commit our works to the LORD and rely on Him, we receive the help we need. The LORD is for us among those who help us; (Psalm 118:7a NKJV). The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles (Psalm 34:17). The LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him (Psalm 37:40). Learn to lean on the LORD.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until He has mercy on us. — Psalm 123:2 (NKJV) Do not put your confidence in your own strength, abilities, and talents. Look to the LORD. He has an abundant supply of all that we need. For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4), power and wisdom. In our weakness, His strength is made perfect. Keep looking to the LORD our God, watching and waiting, for His abundant mercy and great grace. Lean on and be confident in the LORD, our provider. He will be your support and supply what you lack.

My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude — Psalm 62:7-8 (NLT) God is our safe place. He is our Rock of unyielding strength (Psalm 62:7b AMP). When the winds of adversity come, lean on the LORD. No matter what the doctor’s report says trust in the LORD and put your confidence in His Word. No matter how much negative news invades your atmosphere, completely rely on God! He is able to deliver you from all your troubles.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. — Psalm 37:3-4 (NKJV) I appreciate that this Scripture says to feed on “ His ” faithfulness because we know that the LORD is always faithful. Sometimes our faith may grow weak, but His, continuously stands strong for all eternity. As we daily enjoy the benefits of God’s everlasting faithfulness toward us, we learn to trust in and lean on Him, at all times. Delight yourself in the Presence of Almighty God and feed on His faithfulness forever.

Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You. — Psalm 143:8 (AMP) Our God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness. His lovingkindness is good, better than life itself (Psalm 69:16, 63:3). Look for it and count on it. His everlasting love never runs out on us. It wakes us up each morning. It keeps us throughout the day, and watches over us as we sleep at night. We can totally lean on our mighty God, putting all of our weight and burdens completely on Him because He cares for us. May we entrust our lives and all that is within us, to our heavenly Father, and allow Him to show us the way we should go.

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. — Proverbs 3:5-7 (AMP) Trying to figure things out on your own and handle everything in your own power and strength, will wear you out. Instead, learn to lean on and trust in the Lord, in the midst of every situation. Always look to Him for wisdom and direction. And be confident! Don’t let the enemy get you to question and doubt our God, His ability or His Word. Our God is able and His Word stands forever. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Amen!

By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.  — Psalm 71:6 (NKJV) Since the day He delivered you from your mother's womb, the LORD has been with you. He has taken care of you. We can  always lean and rely upon our mighty God. May our mouths be filled with His praise and with His glory all the day! (Psalm 71:8)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.  — Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT) We are not to lean on our own understanding. Everything is not going to make sense to us, from our limited human view point. We have to trust in the One who can see the whole picture from beginning to end. The LORD has the Master plan and His ways are higher than ours. Rely on, lean on and put your confidence in our heavenly Father. Seek His will in every situation and He will show you the way.

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.  — Psalm 125:1-2 (NKJV) Those who totally trust in the LORD are planted on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ, the Rock of all ages and they cannot be moved. Those who have learned to lean on the LORD shall stand, no matter how fierce the storm, or how hot the fire. They will not be shaken by the winds of adversity because they are securely surrounded by the LORD. Hallelujah and Amen!!!

I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.  — Deuteronomy 32:3-4 (NIV) The LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. A God you can depend upon, without exception. He is the only One worthy of all your praise. So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages] (Isaiah 26:4, AMP).

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).

Trust the Lord, and do good things. Live in the land, and practice being faithful. Be happy with the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3-4 (GW) Lean on the LORD and decide to do good. Make being faithful to God and being faithful to do His Word a lifestyle, a daily practice. Delight yourself in the LORD and you will become more like Him, wanting the same things God wants. Then your efforts are crowned with success and you will have those things you desired.

The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. Psalm 28:7 (AMP) As we put all of our confidence in the LORD and lean on Him, He helps us. Our hearts are filled with joy because we know that God is working for our good. May we continually lift up to the LORD songs of praise and thanksgiving.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 20:7-8 (NIV) Instead of trusting in your possessions, put your trust in the powerful name of the LORD. There is wonder-working power in the name that stands above all names. Lean on the LORD and He will give you the strength to rise up and stand firm.
