Manna for Your Morning

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....

So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth.” — Romans 9:16-17 (NASB1995) In all situations and circumstances, may the name of the LORD God be lifted up. Instead of promoting our own names or the name of our favorite personality, let us declare the name of YAHWEH. He is El Elyon, the Most High God, above all others. I will proclaim the name of the LORD; how glorious is our God! He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is! (Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NLT) He is Elohim, the Creator of all. He chose us to be a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that we may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous ligh...

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. — Psalm 19:1-2 (NLT) What are you proclaiming? We defeat the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of our testimony. (See Revelation 12:11) Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. (Psalm 145:4 NLT) O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them. (Psalm 40:5 NLT) But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do. (Psalm 73:28 NLT) When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that Y...

“I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will boast in the LORD; the humble will hear and be glad. Proclaim the LORD’s greatness with me; let us exalt his name together.” — Psalms 34:1-3 (CSB) No matter what the current circumstance, let us continue to speak His praise. Instead of talking about how hard your situation is, proclaim how great is our God. “Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.” (Psalms 100:4 NASB) “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!” — Psalms 150:6 (NASB)

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  — 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV) We are a chosen generation. God chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love… (Ephesians 1:4). We are to be in the world but not of the world. What communion has light with darkness? He called us out of darkness. As He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:15-16) Jesus said, “ You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. ” (Matthew 5:14) May we proclaim His praises and let His light shine brightly through us. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord....

Do not be misled, my beloved brothers and sisters. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens] … — James 1:16-17a (AMP) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, but never set your affections on the gifts themselves. Set your affections on the Giver of the gifts only. Be completely committed and devoted to the LORD, our Sustainer. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9) Our ultimate delight, satisfaction, and fullness of joy are found in His Presence.

And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, — Exodus 34:6 (NKJV)  The LORD is abundant in mercy to all who call upon Him (Psalm 86:5). His mercy holds us up when we slip (Psalm 94:18). It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed (Lamentations 3:22, AMP). The LORD is gracious in all His works (Psalm 145:17). From His abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another (John 1:16, AMP). And He is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you may have an abundance for every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8). Let’s proclaim His name throughout the earth!

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. — Psalm 69:30 (NKJV) Proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all God's wondrous works (Psalm 26:7)! When we give thanks to the LORD, He is magnified in our lives. The mountains that stand before us shrink in His Presence and our LORD emerges into the foreground of our lives. Let us GIVE THANKS everyday, with an attitude of gratitude! Show grateful appreciation for all He has done in your life. He didn’t have to... but praise God, He did. Amen!
