Manna for Your Morning

“I refuse to gaze on that which is vulgar. I despise works of evil people and anything that moves my heart away from you. I will not let evil hold me in its grip. Every perverse and crooked way I have put away from my heart, for I will have nothing to do with the deeds of darkness.” — Psalms 101:3-4 (TPT) As children of GOD, have no involvement with the deeds of darkness. Reject anything that causes your heart to move away from our Heavenly Father. Instead, “Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. Once your life was full of sin’s darkness, but now you have th e very light of our Lord shining through you because of your union with him. Your mission is to live as children flooded with his revelation-light!” (Ephesians 5:1, 8 TPT) So imitate God and be truly compassionate, the way your Father is. — Luke 6:36 (VOICE)

He will not fear bad news; His heart is steadfast, trusting [confidently relying on and believing] in the LORD. — Psalms 112:7 (AMP) Praise the LORD! How blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments. Light arises in the darkness for the upright; He is gracious and compassionate and righteous. (Psalms 112:1,4 NASB1995) The righteous need not fear a bad report. In Isaiah 41:10 (AMP), the LORD says: ‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’ Nothing that comes our way is too difficult for our great God to handle. “Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually.” — Psalms 105:4 (AMP)

For the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is wholly devoted to Him. — 2 Chronicles 16:9a (LSB) May your heart be loyal to the LORD our God, all of your days. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. And when the enemy attacks, in the day of distress, the LORD will support you. (See Psalms 18:8 NLT) You can do all things [which He has called you to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers you [to fulfill His purpose...] (See Philippians 4:13 AMP) In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might. (Ephesians 6:10 AMP) After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. — 1 Peter 5:10 (NASB1995)

The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne. O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O LORD? You are entirely faithful. — Psalm 89:7-8 (NLT) Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. (Psalm 96:4 NLT) The heavens are His, and the earth is His; everything in the world is His— He created it all. (See Psalm 89:11 NLT) Our protection comes from the LORD... He is my fortress; my God is the mighty rock where I hide. (See Psalm 89:18,94:22 NLT) His unfailing love for us is powerful; the LORD’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the LORD! (See Psalm 117:2 NLT) …let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]. (Hebrews 4:1...

That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. — John 20:19 (NLT) We are not to fear man, instead, we are to fear the LORD our God, and Him alone. Deuteronomy 10:20 (AMP) says: You shall fear [and worship] the LORD your God [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect]. For the LORD your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below. (Joshua 2:11b NLT) Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). He gave us His peace and He will never take it away. In John 14:27, Jesus says His peace is a gift. Like any gift that is given, it must also be received. Therefore, receive His peace today and don't let the enemy steal it away from you. May the everlasting peace of God rule in your heart and in your mind, at all times. “I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfe...

Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them. But you are always the same; you will live forever. — Psalm 102:25-27 (NLT) The LORD is always the same and He will remain forever. He is a faithful Father, a loving Lord and a mighty Savior. He is full of grace and mercy. Yahweh is compassionate and kind. All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is the LORD’s and He rules over the nations. — Psalm 22:27-28 (NASB)
