Manna for Your Morning

“God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:24 (AMP) “Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.” (Romans 1:20 TPT) “From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24 TPT) All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is Yahweh’s and He rules over the nations. — Psalms 22:27-28 (LSB)

If only there were a mediator between us, someone who could bring us together. — Job 9:33 (NLT) …there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, (See 1 Timothy 2:5 AMP). He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. (See Hebrews 8:6 NKJV) We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. (See 1 John 2:1) The accuser of the brethren, accuses us before our God day and night. (See Revelation 12:10) But we have Yeshua, our Redeemer. He is mighty and He pleads our case. For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; — Job 19:25 (NKJV)

“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” — Revelation 4:11 (NLT) It was God’s will to create you. You are not a mistake or a piece of junk; those are lies of the enemy. It pleased God to create you. He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). In him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ (Acts 17:28 NLT), Psalm 8:4 says, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Never think for one minute that God has forgotten about you. He loves you and you are always on His mind.

In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created. — Genesis 5:1b-2 (NKJV) Guess what? If you belong to the human race, you are blessed by God! When God created human beings, He blessed the whole human race. Psalm 144:3 says, LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). No matter what lies the enemy tells you, remember that God loves you and He is working everything together for good! (Romans 8:28) Let us count our blessings, starting with the fact that we woke up this morning. Amen!

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”  — Luke 22:41-42 (NKJV) Jesus' selfless sacrifice upon the cross brought salvation to all mankind. Just as Jesus fulfilled His mission by being obedient to the Father's will, let us complete our God given assignments. Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, (Hebrews 12:1). Whose salvation is depending on your obedience?
