Manna for Your Morning

“For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.” — Proverbs 24:16 (AMP) The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the LORD,
 and He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. When he falls, he will not be hurled down, because the LORD is the One who holds his hand and sustains him. (Psalms 37:23-24 AMP) Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, but the LORD rescues him from them all. (Psalms 34:19 AMP) Do not get upset because of evildoers, or be envious of the wicked, for there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. (Proverbs 24:19-20 AMP) But the LORD will redeem those who serve him. No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. (Psalms 34:22 NLT) “ Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. ” — Micah 7:8 (NLT)

For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield. — Psalm 5:12 (NASB) For His anger is but for a moment,  His favor is for a lifetime;  Weeping may last for the night, b ut a shout of joy comes in the morning.  — Psalm 30:5 (NASB) The righteous are surrounded by God’s favor and His favor is not just momentary, it lasts for a lifetime. Amen! The Voice Bible says, He lays all good things in the laps of the right-hearted. His blessings surround them like a shield. (Psalm 5:12 VOICE). His favor is not something we have to struggle and fight for, we just have to receive it. His favor will open doors for you that no man can shut. Praise God for His favor! For the LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity. — Psalm 84:11 (CSB)

Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn’t get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! — 2 Corinthians 12:7 (MSG) The challenges we face will keep us in constant touch with our limitations, so that we may learn not to rely on ourselves but on our mighty God. When life tries to get you down, let it push you to your knees. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]. (James 5:15 AMP) Call to Him, and He will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3)

Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn’t get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! ( 2 Corinthians 12:7 MSG ). When circumstances try to pull you down, fall to your knees in prayer. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me, My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift.
