Manna for Your Morning

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. — Psalm 139:16 (NLT) Every moment of our lives matter because God took the time to record each day and lay our lives out moment by moment. He intentionally made all the delicate, inner parts of our bodies and knit us together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). He did this with purpose and His plan for our lives is good. Though our journey will take us through all kinds of seasons, we have a glorious destiny awaiting us. May we seek His will, as we plan our days and our lives. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.  (Psalm 33:11 NASB) Let us submit to the authority of God’s Word and be led by His Holy Spirit, in word and action, because every moment of life He gives us matter.

Upon You have I relied and been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb and You have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You.  My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your glory all day long. — Psalm 71:6, 8 (AMP) God chose you and loved you before the foundation of the world. He knit you together in your mother’s womb. He has sustained you since you drew your first breath. Each day we live the more we have to be thankful for. Praise Him and bring glory to His name all day, every day!  But as for me, I will wait and hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. (Psalm 71:14 AMP)

Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (MSG) We can thank God in every circumstance because we know that He is working all things together for good in our lives. The LORD has been with you from birth; from your mother’s womb He has cared for you (Psalm 71:6a NLT). May our mouths continually give Him praise. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah (Psalm 62:8 NKJV).

By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You. — Psalm 71:6 (NKJV) Since the moment God created our inmost beings and knit us together in our mother’s wombs, He has watched over every detail of our lives. From the day we were born, until now, He has upheld us and been our support. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28 NAS). Let our praise be continually of Him, our Maker and Creator.

When Jesus saw him coming he said, “There’s a real Israelite, not a false bone in his body.” Nathanael said, “Where did you get that idea? You don’t know me.”  Jesus answered, “One day, long before Philip called you here, I saw you under the fig tree.” — John 1:47-48 (MSG) Don't be like Nathanael and think for one moment that Jesus doesn’t know you. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). Jesus was with God when He chose you before He laid down the foundations of the world. He was there when the Father formed you in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). Not only does He know the real you, He died and was resurrected to pay the price for your sins and reconcile you back into fellowship with our heavenly Father. In addition to all of that, JESUS LOVES YOU! (just the way you are). How awesome is that?
