Manna for Your Morning

“But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT) It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man (Psalm 118:8 NKJV). He will always be there when you need him. When the fiery furnace gets exceedingly hot, you will not be bothered. After you come through the situation,  the smell of fire will not be on you. When things appear to be drying up, you will not have a worry, because the LORD is your source. As long as we keep our hope and confidence in the LORD, we will not be disappointed. But I have trusted and relied on and been confident in Your lovingkindness and faithfulness; My heart shall rejoice and delight in Your salvation. (Psalm 13:5 AMP)

…the people of Judah were victorious because they relied on the LORD, the God of their ancestors. — 2 Chronicles 13:18 (NIV) Because the people of Judah sought the LORD, He gave them rest on every side. So they built and prospered (2 Chronicles 14:7). Truly rely on the LORD. You will prevail over your enemies and prosper in the work of your hands. When we fully rely on God, He keeps us in perfect peace. Only in returning to the LORD and resting in Him will you be saved. In quietness and confidence (trust) in God, is your strength (Isaiah 30:15).

Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield. For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name. Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.  — Psalm 33:20-22 (AMP) May your heart and soul rejoice in the Lord, our Help and our Shield! Abiding in His Presence will make your joy complete. He is everything we need!
