Manna for Your Morning

The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. — Psalm 145:14 (NLT) Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help (Psalm 146:3 NKJV). How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, (Psalm 146:5 NASB). If you are bent over from the weight of the burden you are carrying on your shoulders, go to God for help. Cast all your cares and concerns upon Him for He cares for you. He is our help and our only hope!

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. — Psalm 40:2 (NLT) If your life seems to be in the pit, look up! God is with you, and He is mighty to save. He is a shield for you, your glory and the One who lifts up your head (Psalm 3:3 NKJV). Declare Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV), “I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. — Psalm 146:2 (NIV) Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful (Psalm 147:1 NKJV). He inhabits the praises of His people. The LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous (Psalm 146:8 NIV). God gives a hand to those down on their luck, gives a fresh start to those ready to quit (Psalm 145:14 MSG). Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah  But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. — Psalm 3:1-3 (NKJV) No matter how hopeless the situation seems, in God, our hope is alive and we have the victory! He is our Helper. The LORD is a shield that surrounds us on all sides. As we abide in Him, our heavenly Father is our protective shield. And He will lift our heads up above our enemies all around us; (Psalm 27:6).

The LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down.  — Psalm 145:14 (NKJV) In Isaiah 41:10, the LORD says, “ Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” The LORD is our support. He is there to catch us if we fall. Our heavenly Father reaches down and lifts us out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire of life. He sets our feet on a rock and gives us a firm place to stand (Psalm 40:2). Amen!

The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. The LORD upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. Psalm 145:13-16 (NIV) The LORD is faithful and always keeps His promises. He gives a helping hand to the fallen and lifts up those whose backs are bent over from carrying heavy loads. Look to our heavenly Father, fully expecting Him to meet your every need. He is Jehovah Jireh, your provider and God of abundance. Your hope will not be disappointed. God does not play favorites (Romans 2:11). With His open Hand, He satisfies the desires of every living thing.

But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. Psalm 146:5, 7-8 (NLT) Hope in the Lord because He is your helper. It is better to put your confidence in the God of Israel than in man. The Lord feeds the hungry and sets the prisoners free. He opens the eyes of the blind and lifts up those who are down. Keep your hope in the Lord. He is forever faithful.
