Manna for Your Morning

“ I have told you these things so that you will be whole and at peace. In this world, you will be plagued with times of trouble, but you need not fear; I have triumphed over this corrupt world order. ” — John 16:33 (VOICE) Don’t be surprised at the corruption that is rampant in the culture of this world. Know that Jesus has already overcome this world and shared His victory with us. The words Jesus spoke to His disciples is for all believers. They are encouraging words of truth, meant to keep us in peace. When you are plagued by trials, troubles and sorrows, turn to Jesus. 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. (Proverbs 3:5 AMPC) Be confident that He will show you the way through it all, and help you triumph, in the midst of your troubles. He gives you strength to endure the struggles. Amen.

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) Each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon us, (Psalm 42:8a NLT). He crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies (Psalm 103:4b NKJV). Because His lovingkindness is better than life, our lips shall praise Him (Psalm 63:3 NKJV). His lovingkindness and His truth continually preserve us (Psalm 40:11b NKJV). Because His love never fails, we can lean on Him and trust Him. Open your ear to hear His voice, He calls each one of us by name. Lift up your soul to the LORD and He will show you the way.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. — Psalm 9:10 (NKJV) His plan is wonderful, His wisdom is magnificent (Isaiah 28:29 NIV) and He stands by your side. 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)

Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! — Psalm 62:8 (AMP) No matter how circumstances may appear, keep your eyes always on the LORD. With him by your side, you will not be shaken (Psalm 16:8). For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the solid Rock except our God? (Psalm 18). Lean on Him. When you don’t know what to do, rely on the wisdom of our great God. When you don’t where to go, run to His throne room. Pour out your heart before Him. He is a refuge of safety and peace.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. — Psalm 9:9-10 (NKJV) When the events of this life leave you battered and bruised, seek refuge in the LORD. They who know His name [who have experience and acquaintance with His mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in Him…(Psalm 9:10 AMP). No matter how hopeless circumstances may appear, continue to 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. (Proverbs 3:5 AMP).
