Manna for Your Morning

“Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah — Psalms 66:1-4 (NKJV) “Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, Who keeps our soul among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.” (Psalms 66:8-9 NKJV) Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Yahweh be magnified!” (Psalms 40:16 LSB)  

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication; And let them say continually, “The LORD be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.” — Psalms 35:27 (NASB1995) Prosperity is a state of flourishing and thriving (experiencing good success) in all areas of life. Yahweh has pleasure in the prosperity of His people. Proverbs 13:21 (NASB1995) says: Adversity pursues sinners, but the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity. Psalms 37:11 says, the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. Deuteronomy 30:15 (NLT) says: “Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster.” Every day we get to make a decision to trust in and follow Yahweh. When we don’t choose Him, we are headed for disaster, destruction and death. Choose life in order that you may live! Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, and h...

Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. — Psalm 30:4-5 (NASB) I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1 NASB) You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever. (Psalm 30:11-12 AMP)

Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the Lord; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation! — Habakkuk 3:18 (AMP) No matter how chaotic your circumstances may seem, choose to rejoice in the Lord. Realize that the great “ I AM ” is the source of your strength and He empowers you to be more than a conqueror. We can choose to rejoice because Jesus has already gained the victory for us. The challenges we face, fade into the background, when we gaze upon the light of His magnificent Presence. As we submit to the work of the Holy Spirit within us, His mighty power works in us and through us, and we go from glory to glory, full of peace and joy. The Lord God is my strength [my source of courage, my invincible army]; He has made my feet [steady and sure] like hinds’ feet and makes me walk [forward with spiritual confidence] on my high places [of challenge and responsibility] . — Habakkuk 3:19 (AMP)

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, though the yield of the olive fails and the fields produce no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the LORD; I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation! — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (AMP) No matter how circumstances may appear, choose to rejoice today. If God is all we have, we have all that we need. We still have the victory! Offer up to the LORD a sacrifice of praise. Hallelujah!

When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” “Be quiet!” many of the people yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”   — Mark 10:47-48 (NLT) When the world tries to silence you, lift up your voice all the more, to our mighty God. When the circumstances you encounter leave you speechless, cry out to our living God. He is abundant in mercy to all those who call upon Him (Psalm 86:6 NKJV). The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17). Cry out with your whole heart. Psalm 56:9 says, when you cry out to the LORD, then your enemies will turn back because God is for you. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. (Psalm 34:15 NKJV)

But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city! — Joshua 6:15-16 (NKJV) So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. (Joshua 6:20). I believe, when we execute the marching orders the LORD has given us and we give that victory shout, we too will see the walls of our adversaries come down. See the walls of sickness, lack and fear fall down. Invade the city with the grace, love and peace of the LORD.  Shout to God with the voice of tri...

When he heard that Jesus from Nazareth was walking by, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many people warned the blind man to be quiet, but he shouted even more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” — Mark 10:47-48 (NCV) The crowd tried to silence Blind Bartimaeus, but he cried out all the more and received his sight. Had he listened to those around him, Bartimaeus, would have remained blind. It's important for us to know which voices to listen to and which ones to ignore. Don’t let the enemy of your soul, silence you from calling out to God and cause you to miss out on your blessing. Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV), tells us to call to the LORD, and He will answer us, and show us great and mighty things, which we do not know.

Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise,  who shout on parade in the bright presence of God. Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do—they can’t keep it quiet! Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us— you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air! All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King! — Psalm 89:15-18 (MSG) Passwords give access. We enter His courts with praise (Psalm 100:4). Some passwords of praise: Everything that has breath! Make a joyful noise! Acknowledge Him! Worship Him! Just do it! Seven times a day and all day long praise the LORD because of His righteous decrees (Psalm 119:164 AMP). He is worthy to be praised!

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods. — Psalm 95:1-3 (NKJV) Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice: “Do not harden your hearts... (Psalm 95:6-8a). May all that we do and say this day reflect our adoration and devotion to our great God!

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you.
 May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!” As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts. You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay. — Psalm 40:16-17 (NLT) In the presence of the LORD we are filled with joy and gladness. At His right hand there are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11). How precious are His thoughts about us, O God. They cannot be numbered! We can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when we wake up, He is still with us! (Psalm 139:17-18, NLT) “The LORD be magnified!”

We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit! — Romans 5:3-5 (The Message) Know that the trials you go through produce patience and perseverance. And that perseverance develops a strong and impeccable character. That character in turn, produces a hope that will not be disappointed. Continue to shout your PRAISE!

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”  — Psalm 70:4 (NLT) Let us be filled with joy and gladness of heart, in the Presence of the LORD. For great is the LORD, our God. He is bigger than any mountain that stands in our way. When the enemy comes at you with his lies, remind him of the truth: our God is greater. We can rejoice because we have the victory, in Him!

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!

Your dwelling place is lovely, O LORD of Armies! My soul longs and yearns for the LORD’s courtyards. My whole body shouts for joy to the living God. Psalm 84:1-2 (GW) Blessed are those who dwell in the house of the LORD! They are ever praising Him. One day in His courtyards is better than a thousand anywhere else. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to the LORD and praise His name (Psalm 100:4). Let everyone that has breath, shout for joy to the living God!

Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth . Psalm 47:1-2 (NKJ) Clap your hands and give God a joyful shout of praise! Today is the day the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. How awesome is our great God, the King over all the earth. He is seated on His holy throne. The LORD is highly exalted and worthy of all praise, honor and glory. Leave a sacrifice of praise on His altar today. Hallelujah! With Love, Jackie
