Manna for Your Morning

Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God. — Psalm 42:11 (MSG) Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalm 31:23-24 NKJV) Hope in the LORD continually and praise Him more and more (Psalm 71:14) Your hope will not be cut off. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. (Hebrews 6:19a NLT)  It will keep you from being tossed to and fro by the storms of life. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. (Psalm 39:7 NLT)  I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. — Romans 15:13  (NLT)

Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. — Psalm 73:23-24 (NKJV) No matter what you go through on any given day, remember that the LORD is with you. Look to Him for help, comfort and guidance. When you walk in His wisdom, there is no need to worry. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;  He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints.  (Proverbs 2:6-8 NKJV)

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. — Revelation 8:4 (NKJV) First Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) tells us to pray without ceasing. Our prayers go up before God, like a sweet smelling incense. “For the eyes of the LORD are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright), and His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer)…” Never let adverse circumstances or lies of the enemy silence your voice to your heavenly Father. Cry out to Him day and night. Engage in a continual conversation with Abba Father. As Colossians 4:2 (NLT) says, devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. He is faithful answer, so wait with expectancy. Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness. (Psalm 143:1 NKJV)

I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly. — Psalm 85:8 (NKJV) Listen carefully to what the LORD speaks. Turn a deaf ear to the noise of other voices. The enemy speaks lies, but our God is full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth (Psalm 86:15). He speaks peace and love to His people. He will rejoice over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:14). He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go (Psalm 32:8). Listen to Him!

I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.  — Psalm 85:8 (NKJV) Listen with expectancy for the voice of the LORD and what He will speak to you regarding your situation. Do not let the enemy steal your peace with his lies. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. The LORD will keep those whose mind is stayed on Him, in perfect peace, because he trusts in God (Isaiah 26:3).

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, — Ephesians 2:19 (NKJV) As children of God, our heavenly Father wants us to dwell in His house. He wants to spend time with us. Don't be like the prodigal son and leave the Father’s house in search of something better, only to find there is nothing. There is no greater love, no greater peace or no greater joy, than what the Father has for us, in Jesus. We go out to the world each day to perform our God given assignments and to bring back the lost, downcast and broken, that we find along the way. But never forget where you live, where you belong Child of God...in your Father's house!

On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel. — 2 Chronicles 7:10 (NKJV) Let us be joyful and glad of heart for all the good the LORD has done for us. Isaiah 61:10 says, I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness. Hallelujah! We are so blessed to be children of God. Be glad in the LORD and make a joyful shout to Him, all you saints!

I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.  — Psalm 85:8 (NKJV) In John 14:27, Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” The kingdom of God is about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 4:17). Don't let the enemy steal your peace by returning to foolish ways: worrying, fretting and being full of anxiety. Instead, enjoy the peace of the Lord, always and in every way.

Love the LORD, all you godly ones! The LORD protects faithful people, but he pays back in full those who act arrogantly. Be strong, all who wait with hope for the Lord, and let your heart be courageous.  — Psalm 31:23-24 (GW) Love the LORD, all you His saints! He preserves and strengthens the faithful. We can trust in the LORD because our future is in His hands. He wrote all of our days in His book before we drew a breath. And His plans for us are for good and not harm. Be strong in the LORD and keep your hope in Him alive!

The LORD is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.   All Your works shall praise You, O LORD, And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Psalm 145:9-12 (NKJ) The Lord is good to everyone and He showers us with His compassions, every morning. May all His faithful followers praise Him! Our heavenly Father opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing (Psalm 145:16). Let us tell about His power and the glory of His kingdom to make the mighty acts He as done in our lives known. Hallelujah!
