Manna for Your Morning

Bless Yahweh, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless Yahweh, 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 103:1-4 (LSB) “Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children…” (See 1 John 3:1 TPT) Yahweh is our shepherd, we shall not want. He makes us lie down in green pastures; He leads us beside quiet waters. He restores our souls; He guides us in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (See Psalms 23:1-3 LSB) “ 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 103:5 (TPT)

Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] — John 14:27 (AMP) The peace that Yeshua gives us is a gift. We can choose to receive it or we can allow the enemy to steal it away by getting caught up in fear and anxiety. The peace we have in Yeshua is an abiding peace. It will outlast any storm. Instead of letting your heart be troubled, trust God. Nothing is too difficult for Him. (See Jeremiah 32:17 NASB1995) Be courageous and stay calm, no matter how chaotic the situation. “For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken,” says the LORD who has compassion on you. — Isaiah 54:10 (NASB1995)

And Nehemiah continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” — Nehemiah 8:10 (NLT) Each and every day we have the breath of life in us is a sacred day before Yahweh. And in His Presence is fullness of joy. (See Psalm 16:11) Don’t let the enemy steal your joy. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. But Jesus said His purpose is to give us a rich and satisfying life. (See John 10:10 NLT) This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24 NASB1995) The LORD is our strength. (See Psalm 28:8 NKJV) Draw near to Him .

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. — Psalm 119:105 (NLT) When we don't know which way to go, the Word of God will show us the way. Romans 12:2 (NASB1995) says: do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. May we renew our minds daily, with the Word of God. Instead of compromising with the current culture or conforming to the ways of this world, spend time in the Word, growing in understanding of our Heavenly Father and His heart for all people. The Bible will renew our minds and transform us by changing the way we think. The Living Word will equip us and empower us to walk in His ways and according to His will. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, ...

For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.  He gives us grace and glory.  The LORD will withhold no good thing  from those who do what is right.  — Psalm 84:11 (NLT) If your cup is empty, you are looking to the wrong thing to fill it. The things of this world will never satisfy our thirsty souls. Psalm 23:5 (NLT) says: My cup overflows with blessings. Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. (2 Peter 1:3 TPT) “...if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never be thirsty again. For when you drink the water I give you, it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, flooding you with endless life!”  — John 4:14 (TPT)

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. — Psalm 23:5-6 (NLT) God wants to fill our cups to overflowing, so we not only have enough for ourselves, but more than enough to share with others. Let us come to our heavenly Father humbly, with open our hearts, every day. Submit to His Holy Spirit and receive all He has to give. Drink in His goodness, His love, and His grace. Partake of the Bread of Life and be strengthened, nourished and empowered to fulfill your purpose and His good plan for your life. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. — John 10:10 (AMP)

Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today! — Psalm 95:6-7  (NLT) Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. (Psalm 100:3 AMP) The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (Psalm 23:1-3 NLT) Even when darkness is all around, stay on the path and follow the light of the Shepherd, knowing He is leading you to a more abundant life. He is bringing you to a fruitful land, where healing and wholeness abound. So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture will give thanks to You forever; to all generations we will tell of Your praise. — Psa...

Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” Immediately the girl arose and walked... — Mark 5:41-42 (NKJV) This little girl was dead and when Jesus said, “ Arise ,” she came back to life. We were once dead in our sin and Jesus said to us, “ Arise! ” He set us free and gave us new life! If you're discouraged, feeling down and defeated, Jesus says, arise! You are more than a conqueror. We were full of darkness, but now we have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! (Ephesians 5:8 ) He gives us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1 NKJV)

On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” — Mark 4:35 (NKJV) After Jesus got in the boat with the disciples a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” (Mark 4:37-38) Storms will come and go in our lives, but through it all, you can be certain that Jesus cares for you. In the midst of your storm, it may seem like Jesus is asleep, but know that He will bring you successfully, to the other side of all your troubles, to a place of triumph. He is faithful to bring you to the desired destination the Father has for you. Let us persevere through the storms, and He will keep us in perfect peace and get us in the right position to fulfill a greater and glorious purpose.

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. — Revelation 22:17 (NKJV) Just as Adam and Eve did in the garden of eden, we often try to hide from God. However, we have an open invitation. Jesus always beckons us to come to Him. Let us remove the clutter from our lives and tear down the walls that keep us from drawing closer to our heavenly Father. May we come to Jesus with our hearts open wide and let the continual flow of His love flood our hearts and change our lives. Jesus said, “ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. ” (John 6:37 NKJV)

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Selah — Psalm 68:19 (NKJV) Not only does the LORD give us new mercies and compassions every morning, He also loads us up, every day, with His priceless benefits. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits— He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. He redeems our lives from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion. He satisfies our desires with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:2-5) Bless the LORD O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! (Psalm 103:1 NKJV)

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people from this time forth and forever. — Psalm 125:2 (NKJV) God encircles His people. No matter what direction the enemy comes at us, God has us covered on every side. If God is for us, who can be against us? We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us and protects us. Dwell in the secret place of the Most High and you shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. (Psalm 91:1 AMP)

And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. — Galatians 3:27 (NLT) The one question most of us ask ourselves almost everyday is, “what am I going to wear?” Then we intentionally pick out an outfit and get dressed. Similarly, in the spiritual realm, we must purposefully choose how we clothe ourselves. We can choose to wear the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3, NKJV). Romans 13:12 (NKJV) instructs us to cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Colossians 3:12 (NIV) says, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony (Colossians 3:14, NLT).

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.  — Psalm 105:1-4 (NIV) When you don't know what to do, look to the LORD and His strength. He is exactly what you need in any and every situation. He will lead, guide and strengthen you. Whatever mountain stands before you, speak to it and say, “my heavenly Father is bigger, and more powerful. Nothing can stand against my mighty God.” Continually give thanks to the LORD for all of His wondrous works!

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJ) Brothers and sisters, don't get hung up on what happened in days gone by. That is like driving down the road while looking in the rear view mirror. You will not get very far before you crash. Instead, keep reaching forward to what lies ahead. Press on toward the goal, to finish the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. Psalm 19:7-8 (NLT) The instructions of the Lord help us to see the complicated situations before us clearly and they give us the wisdom to make the right choices. Following the Lord's teachings brings joy to the heart and revives the soul. May we live by His Word. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8).

Pushed to the wall, I called to God ; from the wide open spaces, he answered. God 's now at my side and I'm not afraid; who would dare lay a hand on me? God 's my strong champion; I flick off my enemies like flies. Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people ; Psalm 118:5-8 (The Message) It is better to take refuge in God than to depend on man. When circumstances push you up against a wall, call upon God. Our God is always with us and He leads us into victory. Praise the LORD! Love, Jackie

I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. Nehemiah 7:2 (KJV) God calls us to be faithful men and women. Faithful believers do not look at the circumstances; they rise above them. They keep their eyes focused on Jesus and their minds are at peace because they trust God and follow Him at all costs. Are you being faithful to do what God has called you to? Love, Jackie
