Manna for Your Morning

...God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. He’s a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. — Proverbs 2:6-8 (MSG) When we are loyally committed to the Lord, we pay special attention to Him, and we put Him first in everything we do and say. Faithful followers give careful attention to His Word, they treasure it in their hearts and do what it says. Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you. (Proverbs 2:6 TPT) He becomes your personal bodyguard as you follow his ways, protecting and guarding you as you choose what is right. (Proverbs 2:8 TPT) So—join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths. It’s the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with ...

Walk straight—live well and be saved; a devious life is a doomed life. — Proverbs 28:18 (MSG) In order to live well, we need to walk in the way of wisdom. Wisdom will add years to your life. You are the one who will profit if you have wisdom, and if you reject it, you are the one who will suffer. (Proverbs 9:11-12  GNT) To be wise you must first have reverence for the LORD. If you know the Holy One, you have understanding. (Proverbs 9:10 GNT) The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], (Proverbs 9:10a AMP) Let us wisely choose to trust and follow the LORD.

“If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?” — John 7:23 (NKJV) Have you ever had a conversation with someone who just doesn’t get it? The religious people were upset because Jesus healed on the Sabbath. However, they missed the main point. People who had been burdened for years, with disease, deformities, and sin, were being set free and completely healed. The blind received their sight. The lame walked. Lepers were cleansed. The deaf were able to hear. Dead people were brought back to life! When we come to Jesus, He sets us free from sin, sickness and death. He wants to make us completely healed, in every area of our lives: body, mind and soul. Our relationships with spouses, children, parents, in-laws, other believers, our neighbors, etc are to be vibrant, healthy and whole. Don't miss the main point: JESUS SAVES & HEALS! Submit your life to Chr...

Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. — James 3:13 (MSG) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; Jesus came that we may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10 NASB). So let us live wisely by walking in His ways and according to His Word. Live humbly in the Presence of God, with a heart full of gratitude. Live well, by fighting the good fight of faith and continuing to the end. Let’s enjoy the rich and satisfying life Jesus came to give us. (John 10:10 NLT). God has placed this rich and satisfying life inside of you. It is not in our external circumstances.
