Manna for Your Morning

The LORD gave me another message. He said, “Go and shout this message to Jerusalem. This is what the LORD says: “I remember how eager you were to please me as a young bride long ago, how you loved me and followed me even through the barren wilderness.” — Jeremiah 2:1-2 (NLT) No matter how old or young we may be, let us always be eager to please Yahweh, the Everlasting GOD. Be eager to do what is right. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. (See Psalms 84:11 NLT) Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ (See Mark 12:30 NLT) And continue to follow Him, even in the wilderness, in the deep waters and in the desert. He makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters. He is able to make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. (See Isaiah 43:16 & 19 NKJV) Our mighty GOD can turn the barren wilderness into a fruitful field.

Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. — 1 Thessalonians 4:1 (NLT) For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts. (1 Thessalonians 2:4 NLT) Realize that it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. (See Philippians 2:13 AMP) With God all things are possible. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God. (See 1 Peter 5:6) For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please G...

Do you think I care about the approval of men or about the approval of God? Do you think I am on a mission to please people? If I am still spinning my wheels trying to please men, then there is no way I can be a servant of the Anointed One, the Liberating King. — Galatians 1:10 (VOICE) Let us not try to win the approval of people but seek to please our heavenly Father. Be more concerned about your private relationship with God than your public life before people. Live for an audience of One, the Holy One of Israel. The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the LORD will be exalted and safe. (Proverbs 29:25 AMP)  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? (Psalms 118:6 NKJV) But I will point out to you whom you should fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority and power to hurl [you] into hell; yes, I say to you, [stand in great awe of God and] fear Him! — Luke 12:5 (AMP)

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. — Hebrews 11:6 (NASB) In order to please God we MUST the Word says, believe that God exists AND that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. Let us (Believers) love the LORD, with all our hearts, minds and souls and earnestly and diligently seek Him, at all times (not just on Sunday morning or when we are in trouble). “ No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. ” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT) “ However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? ” — Luke 18:8b (NASB)

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. — Hebrews 11:6 (MSG) Let us draw near to God with sincere hearts, full of faith. Believe that He exists and that He cares deeply for you. Jesus could not do many miracles in His hometown because of their lack of faith. May we live by faith, and earnestly and diligently seek God, His will and His Kingdom, because He who promised is faithful. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. (Hebrews 10:23 MSG)

Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. — Hebrews 12:28 (NLT) The Passion Translation says, … we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights his heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe. When we are firmly planted in the Kingdom of God, we are not moved by worldly circumstances. For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17 NLT) Seek first the Kingdom of God and He will take care of the things that concern you. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then all these things will be given to you too. — Matthew 6:33 (VOICE)

O LORD of hosts, How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation]. — Psalm 84:12 (AMP) Those who believe in God and rely on Him, are blessed and greatly favored. Commit yourself fully to the LORD. Confidently expect God to bring you through, whatever He has brought you to. Believe that He rewards those who earnestly and diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 (NASB) says, …without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.” — Isaiah 43:10 (NASB)

“ You are blessed because you believed that what the Lord said to you would really happen. ” — Luke 1:45 (NCV) We are blessed when we believe what the Lord said. Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him  (Hebrews 11:6 NCV). Let us believe His Word, because it's true and it stands forever. He said, in this world we would have trouble, but He also said no weapon formed against us would prosper (Isaiah 54:17). He said His plans for us are good (Jeremiah 29:11) and that His purpose would prevail (Proverbs 19:21). The LORD said, “do not fear for I am with you.” Nothing shall be impossible WITH God. Believe and be Blessed!

And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him. — Hebrews 11:6 (TPT) In Matthew 3:13-14, when Jesus came to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him, John tried to prevent Him, saying, “ I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me? ” But after John was imprisoned, he began to doubt. John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “ Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else? ” (Matthew 11:2-3 (NLT) Jesus answered them, “ Give John this report: ‘The blind see again, the crippled walk, lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised back to life, and the poor and broken now hear of the hope of salvation!’ And tell John that the blessing of heaven comes upon those who never l...

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. — Hebrews 11:6 (MSG) Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (1 Peter 5:7 AMP) Diligently seek Him in the morning, stay aware of His Presence throughout the day, and thank Him for His faithfulness at night. Seek Him and He will respond. God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. (Ephesians 3:20 MSG) Believe that God cares about you and that He will do infinitely more than you might ask or think.

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. — Hebrews 11:6 (MSG) Know that God cares more than enough to respond to every person who seeks Him. In Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) the LORD says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” In Psalm 8:4 David asks, “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” God has made us a little lower than the angels and crowned us with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:5). He cares enough to call us out of darkness and into His marvelous light; (1 Peter 2:9). God cares so much, He accepted us and adopted us into His family. He gave us the right to be called children of God. As a loving parent, He watches over us and provides for all our needs. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he definitely cares about you! Seek Him to...
