Manna for Your Morning

I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!” — Psalm 32:8-9 (TPT) Don’t fall prey to the schemes and deceit of the enemy. Before every person lies a road that seems to be right, but the end of that road is death and destruction. (Proverbs 14:12 VOICE) Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; (1 Chronicles 22:19a NASB) Now prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to follow the Eternal One your God. (1 Chronicles 22:19a VOICE) The path God lays before us, leads to eternal life and a more abundant life.

“Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” — Isaiah 42:9 (NKJV) Forget those things which are behind and reach forward to the new things which are ahead. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19 NLT) Let us stop looking for what is convenient, step out of our comfort zones and into the new things God has for us. The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NASB)

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. — Isaiah 43:19 (NLT) God's doing a new thing in my heart. I desire more of Him, but more importantly I want Him to have more of me. He will cherish every broken piece of ourselves that we give to Him. And when the Master has fashioned it with His hands, we will be amazed at the masterpiece He has made! The Apostle Paul said, “I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31). Let us die to self and live for Christ, where we lay all our concerns on His altar and live for an audience of One. Let Him do something new in you! He will create rivers of living water in dry wastelands.

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. — Psalm 32:8 (NLT) Yes, the LORD will guide us, but we must pay attention. Last night, on my way home, I got on the freeway going south instead of north. I drove four miles in the wrong direction before I read the sign and realized I was going the wrong way. This little incident was a reminder of how important it is to pay attention, if we want to arrive at our intended destination. As you journey through life, make sure you stay attentive to the leading and guiding of the the Holy Spirit within you. He is like a GPS system, He will guide you in the right direction, and along the best pathway!

Yes, the LORD will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.  — Psalm 85:12-13 (NKJV) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning (James 1:17). We have all received from our heavenly Father that which is good and perfect. Let us walk in His footsteps and pay His goodness forward to others.

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”  — Psalm 32:8 (NLT) Things are not always as they appear. Proverbs 14:12 says, there is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. However, we can trust God to lead us along on the best pathway for us because He only wants the best for us. He will advise you as His eyes watch over you. Be wise and follow!

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.  — Psalm 32:8 (NIV) Our heavenly Father instructs us and teaches us the way we should go, with a loving eye on us. He guides us along the best pathway for our lives. His Holy Spirit dwells in us to counsel us and guide us into all the truth. Trust in the LORD and follow Him all the days of your life. Only then will we experience peace, joy, true success and lasting fulfillment.

“Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new.  It is already happening. Don’t you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land.” Isaiah 43:18-19 (GW) Do not dwell on the past. We can do nothing to change what has already happened. The LORD is doing something new.  He is making a way for you, a pathway through the wilderness (Isa 43:19, NLT). In the words of Pastor Matthew Pollock, "we have a great big GOD, doing great big things!" Let's move onward and forward! There are still greater things to be done. Hallelujah!
