Manna for Your Morning

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NASB1995) Do not get discouraged and lose heart, though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. (See 2 Corinthians 4:16) Our lives on this earth are temporary but the lovingkindness of Yahweh endures forever! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; (Psalms 103:2-4 NASB1995) Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. — Psalms 143:8 (NKJV)

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You;
 My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NKJV) Seek Him early and often. Seek Him urgently, with every fiber of your being. Yahweh is the only One Who can satisfy. He opens His hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds. (See Psalms 145:16-17 NASB1995) And Yahweh will continually guide you, and satisfy your soul in scorched places, and fortify your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. (Isaiah 58:11 LSB) May His glorious name be praised! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT)

“O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.”  — Psalms 63:1, 3 (NASB1995)  “I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.”  — Psalms 63:4-5 (NLT) The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. (Lamentations 3:22 LSB) They are certainly better than life itself. “…With my whole being, body and soul, I will shout joyfully to the living God.” (See Psalms 84:2 NLT) For He is a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness. He loves us with an everlasting love, and He draws us to Himself with lovingkindness. Even Yahweh, the God of hosts, Yahweh is His name of remembrance. Therefore, return to your God, keep lovingkindness an...

Because His lovingkindness is better than life, may our lips praise Him. Let us bless the LORD as long as we live and lift up our hands in His name. He satisfies our souls. Offer praises to Him with joyful lips. He is our help, and in the shadow of His wings we sing for joy. May our souls cling to Yahweh. His right hand upholds us. (See Psalms 63:3-5 & 7-8) As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? — Psalms 42:1-2 (NASB1995)

“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” — Acts 17:27-28 (NLT) Instead of following the behavior and customs of the world, let us seek after God and follow His ways.  The Word instructs us to seek after God. It does not say to seek fame, fortune, a celebrity, or a sports team, etc. Our heavenly Father is the only One Who can fulfill the deep longing in our hearts. “Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to the LORD, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.” (See Isaiah 55:2 NKJV)  The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there are any who understand (act wisely), Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance]. — Psalms 14:2 (AMP)

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. — Psalms 63:1 (NASB1995) Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. (Psalms 63:3-4 NASB1995) Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. (Psalms 54:4 NASB1995) “Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

(Psalms 63:5 VOICE) Seek Yahweh earnestly (with sincere and intense conviction), not half-heartedly out of routine or religious traditions. Seek Him with every fiber of your being. (See Psalms 63:1 VOICE). Praise Him with every bone in your body. (See Psalm...

Before the battle the Israelites went to Bethel and asked God, “Which tribe should go first to attack the people of Benjamin?” The LORD answered, “Judah is to go first.” — Judges 20:18 (NLT) In the first battle, Benjamin’s warriors, killed 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield. (See Judges 20:21) In Judges 20:23, the Israelites sought Yahweh again. For they had gone up to Bethel and wept in the presence of the LORD until evening. They asked the LORD, “Should we fight against our relatives from Benjamin again?” And the LORD said, “Go out and fight against them.” So the next day they went out again to fight against the men of Benjamin, but the men of Benjamin killed another 18,000 Israelites. (See Judges 20:24-25) In Judges 20:28, they sought God a third time. The Israelites asked the LORD, “Should we fight against our relatives from Benjamin again, or should we stop?” The LORD said, “Go! Tomorrow I will hand them over to you.” This time He ensured them of success. Even after the two prev...

And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that Yahweh had left him. — Judges 16:20 (LSB) Samson did not realize that Yahweh had left him. What a sad situation. After being lulled to sleep with his head in the lap of Delilah, and having the seven locks of his hair shaved off, Delilah began to bring him down, and his strength left him. (See Judges 16:19) Today, we have the Holy Spirit of God dwelling inside of us and He promises to never leave us or forsake us. In Matthew 28:20 (NKJV), Yeshua says: “…and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Intentionally set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD our God. Seek Him, and you will find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. (See Jeremiah 29:13 NASB1995) Don’t let the things of this world, distract you and draw you away from Yahweh. Remain alert and aware of Satan and his devices.

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. — Proverbs 15:3 (NKJV) The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth; (Psalms 33:13-14) He is El Roi, The-God-Who-Sees. (See Genesis 16:13) Even the darkness is not dark to Him, and the night is as bright as the day. (See Psalms 139:12) ...the LORD sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. (Proverbs 5:21-22 NLT) …the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. (See 2 Chronicles 16:9 NASB1995) For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. (See 1 Samuel 16:7)  Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from deat...

O True God, You are my God, the One whom I trust. I seek You with every fiber of my being. In this dry and weary land with no water in sight, my soul is dry and longs for You. My body aches for You, for Your presence. — Psalms 63:1 (VOICE) Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. (Psalms 63:3-4 NASB1995) My soul overflows with satisfaction, as when I feast on foods rich in marrow and fat; with excitement in my heart and joy on my lips, I offer You praise. You have been my constant helper; therefore, I sing for joy under the protection of Your wings. My soul clings to You; Your right hand reaches down and holds me up. (Psalms 63:5, 7-8 VOICE) The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Psalms 145:15-16 NKJV) You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with ab...

Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you. Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:12-13 (AMP) What or whom do you seek first? Is it the latest news on your favorite social media platform? Or is it the living God, Who created you and continually lavishes His unfailing love upon you? When you receive bad news do you phone a friend or do you call upon Yahweh first? In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry for help before Him came into His ears. (Psalms 18:6 LSB) The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (Psalms 145:18 NASB1995) Seek Him with your whole heart, as a vital necessity. Call upon His name and come into His Presence. Draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that you ...

The LORD says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name. All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people. But they follow their own evil paths and their own crooked schemes.  — Isaiah 65:1-2 (NLT) When you ask for Yahweh’s help, He is ready to respond. When you seek Him, you will find Him. (See Jeremiah 29:13) His arms are open to receive you. Don’t do as the wicked do, and don’t follow the path of evildoers. (Proverbs 4:14 NLT) Instead, stay within the boundaries of the Word of God and follow His instruction. Going in the way of wisdom will help you avoid blind alleys and dead end roads. “Set your gaze on the path before you. With fixed purpose, looking straight ahead, ignore life’s distractions. Watch where you’re going! Stick to the path of truth, and the road will be safe and smooth before you. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked fo...

From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history. He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to him, and find him—for he is the God who is easy to discover! — Acts 17:26-27 (TPT) Wherever you are today, Yahweh is with you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting. (James 4:8 TPT) Let your deepest desire be for more of Yahweh. It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.’ (Acts 17:28 TPT) Whoever believes in, trusts in and relies on Him will never be disappointed.

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. — Psalms 63:1,3-4 (NASB1995) “Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done. You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease. You’ve rescued me from hell and saved my life. You’ve crowned me with love and mercy. You satisfy my every desire with good things. You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!” (Psalms 103:2-5 TPT) “I overflow with praise when I come before you, for the anointing of your presence satisfies me like nothing else. You are such a rich banquet of pleasure to my soul.” — Psalms 63:5 (TPT)

And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. — Acts 17:26-27 (AMP) The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18 NASB1995) But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge and placed my trust in Him, that I may tell of all Your works. (Psalm 73:28 AMP) Call upon Yahweh today. Seek Him and you will find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. (See Jeremiah 29:12-13)

Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom. Praise him forever! — Psalm 111:10 (NLT) Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. (Psalm 14:1-2 NLT) Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. (Romans 12:1 AMP) Seek God and enjoy the awesome pleasure and privilege of abiding in His Presence. Aim to please Him, more than anyone else. Yahweh satisfies all who love and trust Him, and He keeps every promise He makes. (See Psalm 111:5 TPT) All God accomplishes is flawless, faithful and fair, and his every word proves trustworthy and true...

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)

From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history. — Acts 17:26 (TPT) God wanted them to look for him and perhaps search all around for him and find him, though he is not far from any of us: ‘By his power we live and move and exist.’Some of your own poets have said: ‘For we are his children.’ — Acts 17:27-28  (NCV) As we come to the end of 2018, let us realize, we are here for such a time as this. God is the giver of life. His light lets us enjoy life. (Psalm 36:9 NCV) He ordained us to be here now, to fulfill His purpose on the earth. God wants us to seek after Him. He is not far, when we look for Him, we find Him. The Passion Translation says: It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; (Acts 17:28 TPT).  As we spend time with our heavenly Father, we discover, who we truly are and the call He ...

Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore! — Psalm 105:4 (NKJV) Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs, you who seek God. Live a happy life! Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence. Remember the world of wonders he has made, his miracles, and the verdicts he’s rendered— (Psalm 105:3-5 MSG). When we seek His face, we draw closer to Him. It is the best way to become more acquainted with our heavenly Father. He already knows everything about us, including how many hairs we have on our head. He desires a personal and intimate relationship with you. He woke you up this morning and poured fresh new mercies and compassions on you. Make Him the source of your joy and you will live a happy life. Knowing that nothing is too difficult for Him.

Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength. — Isaiah 26:4 (NKJV) The Message Bibles says: Depend on God and keep at it because in the LORD God you have a sure thing.

Mighty and great is He. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. (Psalm 9:10 NKJV)
