Manna for Your Morning

“And many nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me to you.” — Zechariah 2:11 (LSB) May we be joined to Yahweh, walking with Him daily, moment by moment. If you have strayed away from Him, repent of your sins now and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah. (See Acts 3:19-20 NLT)  Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works. All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name. For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. — Psalms 86:8-10 (NKJV)

“Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.” — 1 Chronicles 16:23-25 (NLT) Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling. (See ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭27 & 29a‬ NLT‬‬) Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good for His lovingkindness endures forever. (‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭‭34‬ ‭LSB) Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Interlude. Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign LORD rescues us from death. But God will smash the heads of his enemies, crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways. (Psalms 68:19-21 NLT)  Luke 24:47 (NLT) says: There is forgiveness of sins for ALL who repent. “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near....

“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Yahweh of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah. — Psalms 46:10-11 (LSB) God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah. (Psalms 46:1-3 AMP)  I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to stumble; He who keeps you will not slumber. (Psalms 121:1-3 LSB) “Yahweh himself will watch over you; he’s always at your side to shelter you safely in his presence.” (Psalms 121:5 TPT)

“A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved.”  — Matthew 10:21-22 (NLT) As followers of Christ, we can expect the world to hate us. May we patiently persevere the troubles and trials we go through in this life, and endure to the end. …do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. “For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.” (Hebrews 10:35-37 NLT) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with enduran...

“And many nations will join themselves to Yahweh in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent Me to you.” — Zechariah 2:11 (LSB) Let us be eternally joined to Yahweh. May we walk closely with Him, each and every moment of the day. 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. (See 2 Chronicles 16:9 LSB) And take each step in faith, knowing that He will bring us to a glorious destination. Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. (Romans 12:1 AMP)

“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” — Acts 17:27-28 (NLT) Instead of following the behavior and customs of the world, let us seek after God and follow His ways.  The Word instructs us to seek after God. It does not say to seek fame, fortune, a celebrity, or a sports team, etc. Our heavenly Father is the only One Who can fulfill the deep longing in our hearts. “Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to the LORD, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.” (See Isaiah 55:2 NKJV)  The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there are any who understand (act wisely), Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance]. — Psalms 14:2 (AMP)

There is none like You, O Yahweh; You are great, and great is Your name in might. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? Indeed it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You. — Jeremiah 10:6-7 (LSB) “…Yahweh is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure His indignation. It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.” (Jeremiah 10:10, 10:12 LSB) Thus says Yahweh, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from Yahweh. (Jeremiah 17:5 LSB) Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh and whose trust is Yahweh. (Jeremiah 17:7 LSB) Set your heart to seek the one and only true God. Trust the living God in every situation. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed; Save m...

“Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.” — Psalms 46:10 (TPT) Cease striving and recognize that Yahweh is the Most High God, Who rules and reigns over all. Praise and honor Him who lives forever. For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation. (See Daniel 4:34) The LORD is supreme over all the earth; He is exalted far above all gods. (See Psalms 97:9 NLT) We are His children and He watches over us. He is our hiding place; He shall preserve us from trouble; He shall surround us with songs of deliverance. Selah (See Psalms 32:7 NKJV) Surrender your anxiety and abide in His peace.

Praise the LORD! Yes, give praise, O servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD now and forever. Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the LORD. For the LORD is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens. — Psalms 113:1-4 (NLT) Our God is good and everything He does is good. (See Psalms 119:68) Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails. He causes us to remember his wonderful works. How gracious and merciful is our LORD! (Psalms 111:3-4 NLT) Not to us, O L ORD , not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. (Psalms 115:1) The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave. But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD! (Psalms 115:17-18)

“ Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God. I am the God above all the nations, and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth. ” — Psalm 46:10 (TPT) Surrender to God your thoughts, your will and your emotions. Present your body to Him as a living and holy sacrifice (Romans 12:1). Be still and silent before Him. Know, recognize, and understand that He is the Most High God. He comforts us in all our troubles and affliction (2 Corinthians 1:4). When others abandon us, He is our constant Companion. He strengthens us when we are weary. He takes our brokenness and makes us whole. In times of doubt and confusion, He brings clarity and gives direction. He reveals destiny and purpose. He is the Light of the world. Everyone who believes in Jesus will not remain in darkness (John 12:46). He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. (Psalm 103:3) He redeems our lives from the pit (Psalm 103:4). He reveals truth and sets the captives f...

“…Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” — Esther 4:14 (NKJV) From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. (Acts 17:26 NIV). God determined our appointed time in history, and where we were to live. We are here for a reason. God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. We are to take the territory He has given us, for His kingdom. The workplace He has called us to, the positions we occupy, and the neighborhoods we live in are to be influenced by the kingdom of God within us. As we let the power of His love work through us, His light shines brightly, beckoning all to come to Him. When we utilize the gifts, talents and resources He has bestowed on us, to enrich the lives of others, He light shines, drawing others to Him, for such a time as this. His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way tow...

“I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all people. He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and he is the glory of your people Israel!” — Luke 2:30-32 (NLT) The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined (Isaiah 9:2). Jesus is the light of the world. Those who follow Him shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. (John 8:12). In His light, there is salvation and revelation. In the light of the Lord, there is everlasting peace, inexpressible joy, and unconditional love. As we live in the light, His strength and power are made available to us and we can walk in victory over the dark forces. Arise, and shine! For your light has come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.  (Isaiah 60:1) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 NKJV)

Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” — Micah 4:2 (NKJV) Notice the Word says to walk “IN” His paths: it does not say “ON” His paths, which indicates a more superficial walk. When you are on something, its easy to jump off, or fall off. However, when you are in something, you have invested your all. As we walk with the Lord, we are to be sold out, —all IN! May we learn His ways and walk in His paths. For all people walk each in the name of his god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever (Micah 4:5).

God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us,  Selah That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. — Psalm 67:1-2 (NKJV) God continually blesses us with abundant grace and mercy, to make His way known. We are blessed to be a blessing to others. Let His light shine through you in such a way that it draws others into His marvelous light, where there is strength, peace and joy. DISPLAY His ways on this earth, that our great God and His saving grace may be known in every nation. When all is said and done, your actions speak louder than your words.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! — Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) Take a long, loving look at God. For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth (Psalm 47:2). Recognize and understand that He is above your circumstances. He is above everything! Know that He is greater than our enemies who work against us. We are of God and have already overcome them, because the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Amen!

“ Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. ” — Psalm 46:10 (NAS) Cease striving and remember your Creator! Be still and acknowledge Him. “Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces,
 and there be none to deliver: Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
 And to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” — Psalm 50:22-23 (NKJV)

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”  — Psalm 46:10 (NIV) God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening (Psalm 19:1-2, The Message). Cast all your cares on Him and know that the Creator of this magnificent universe is able and willing to take care of everything that concerns you!

And the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you little by little; you will be unable to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. — Deuteronomy 7:22 (NKJV) You shall not be terrified of them; for the LORD your God, the great and awesome God, is among you (Deuteronomy 7:21). Just as the Israelites occupied their Promised Land, little by little, you will possess your promise land, piece by piece. The LORD will deliver you from your enemies. You have been at this mountain long enough. It is time to advance and occupy your promise land. The gates of hell will not prevail over you, child of God!

O praise the Lord, all you nations! Praise Him, all you people! For His mercy and loving-kindness are great toward us, and the truth and faithfulness of the Lord endure forever. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)  — Psalm 117:1-2 (AMP) In this world, there is not much we can count on. However, as children of God, we can count on our heavenly Father's truth and faithfulness. He is always here with us. His mercies are new every morning. He always provides for our needs. He never leaves us as orphans. His loving-kindness towards us is great. It never runs out on us. Because His lovingkindness is better than life itself, our lips shall praise the Lord (Psalm 63:3). Amen and Hallelujah!

“From the nations where the sun rises to the nations where the sun sets, my name will be great.” — Malachi 1:11 (GW) When I read this Scripture this morning and began to think about the greatness of our God, I just began to weep. We serve a great God! He is mighty in power and full of glory. I thought about the song that says, “He’s got the whole world in His hand!” How true that is. One day all nations will worship God. In Romans 14:11 it is written: “As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will acknowledge God.” As believers, we have a mission to let His light and love shine through us into this dark world, so that unbelievers can be drawn unto Him. Amen.
