Manna for Your Morning

Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.’ — Isaiah 41:10 (TPT) Our God is faithful, and He is always near. We have His strength to help us in every situation. Be confident that you will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13)

Do not yield to fear, for I am always near. Never turn your gaze from me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with my strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with my victorious right hand.’ — Isaiah 41:10 (TPT) There are no set of circumstances that are too difficult for our great God to handle. He has every one of our days already written in His Book (Psalm 139:16), so whatever you face today, know that God already has a record of the the answer or solution. Keep looking to Him and wait patiently for the appointed time of delivery.

This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. — Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) Every day of your life was written in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (Psalm 139:16) The LORD already has a solution for every situation that arises today. Our heavenly Father has a plan for your life. We can rejoice and be glad because it is a good plan. Submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit and His plan and purpose will prevail in your life. No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the LORD. (Proverbs 21:30 NLT)

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,  for You will answer me. — Psalm 86:7 (NKJV) When we encounter trouble of any kind, we can call upon the LORD and He will answer us. After Peter had gotten out of the boat, he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him (Matthew 14:29-31) When we cry out to Jesus for help, we give Him in all His power and glory, access to intervene in our situation. I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will find and feel my presence even in your time of pressure and trouble. I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast. — Psalm 91:15 (TPT)

Though the cherry trees don’t blossom and the strawberries don’t ripen, though the apples are worm-eaten and the wheat fields stunted, though the sheep pens are sheepless and the cattle barns empty, I’m singing joyful praise to God. I’m turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God. — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (MSG) Regardless of external circumstances, our inner man can always be filled with joy, knowing that God is with us and He will provide what we need to get us through each and every situation and season. I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. (Psalm 34:1 NLT) Counting on God’s Rule to prevail, I take heart and gain strength. I run like a deer. I feel like I’m king of the mountain! (Habakkuk 3:19 MSG)

I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. — Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) Sometimes we put a lot of time and energy into trying to figure stuff out on our own. As we take our eyes off of the situation or the person, and put them on the LORD, He will reveal things to us at the proper time and in His way. As we invest our time and energy into seeking His face, He shows us the solution. He gives us the answer to the problem. He exposes the root cause of an issue. As we look to Him, He will take care of ALL that concerns us. He is The Fixer. He makes old things new. He brings dead things back to life. He mends broken hearts and fractured relationships. He lifts up the heads that are beat down. Always look to Him!

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” — Jeremiah 32:27 (NASB) It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding He stretched out the heavens. When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and He causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses. (Jeremiah 51:15-16 NASB) He counts the stars and calls them all by name. (Psalm 147:4 NLT) He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. (Psalm 147:9 NLT) Our heavenly Father who raised Jesus from the dead, moves in our lives too. If you ever doubt God’s ability to handle your situation, just take a minute to ponder the greatness of our God and all the wonderful works He has done. Stop talking to God about your problem and start telling your problem about your mighty God!

You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, t he days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day. — Psalm 139:15-16 (MSG) Sometimes we spend a lot of time and energy trying to figure out what?, how?, why?, or when? During these times, let us seek wisdom and guidance from the One who knows us better than we know ourselves. May we trust God through every situation, every season and all the stages of life, knowing that He has every day of our lives recorded in His book. Nothing that happens takes Him by surprise. The thoughts the LORD thinks toward you are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

…but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 (AMP) While the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10). His lovingkindness and mercy is more than enough and always available for every situation or circumstance. The Lord is so full of unfailing love for all who ask for his help. (Psalm 86:5b NLT) For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. (Psalm 86:5 NKJV)

Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NKJV) Simply stated, the prophet is saying is that when everything he sees with his eyes, contradict the promises of God, He will continue to rejoice in the LORD. May we never let our trust and faith in God be moved by what our current situation looks like. Job said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” (Job 13:15 NKJV). Surely, the God who loved us enough to save us, loves us enough to sustain us.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. — Philippians 4:12 (NIV) Let us be like the Apostle Paul and learn the secret of being content in every situation. Be assured that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them (Romans 8:28 NLT). No matter how hopeless our current circumstances appear, we have God’s Presence, His promises and His mighty power, which is at work in us. Know that He has a purpose and a plan for your life that is good. Glory to God!

So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. — 1 Peter 5:6 (MSG) We are not always where we expected to be at certain phases in our life. The Apostle Paul said, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Philippians 4:12 NKJV). Part of being content is the art of surrendering to God’s perfect timing. God uses every situation we go through, and the pain and suffering we experience, to refine us and help prepare us for what’s next, as we go from glory to glory. It will all come together at just the right time, God’s appointed time. May we find contentment in every circumstance, knowing that God is working for our good.

David answered ... “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all adversity, — 2 Samuel 4:9  (NKJV) God delivered David out of all his troubles. So David went on and became great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him (2 Samuel 5:10). I believe the secret to David’s success was that he habitually inquired of the LORD (2 Samuel 2:1, 5:19, 5:23, 21:1). Then he followed through and did as the LORD commanded him (2 Samuel 5:25). As we abide in God, we too can go from adversity to advancement. Keep seeking God's will in every situation and the setbacks you experience in life will eventually propel you forward into the glorious destiny God has for you!

But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” — Luke 18:27 (NKJV) It does not matter how many seemingly impossible situations are in your midst, with Almighty God, all things are possible. Our wonder-working God knows no limits and He has no boundaries. Jesus said, “It is finished!” He has overcome the world and all that is in it. In His Presence, diseases flee, bondages are destroyed, and circumstances change; hearts are healed, and transformed. Keep the faith. Only believe. Nothing is too difficult for our great God!

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ — Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) Our help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). Call upon the LORD, morning, noon, and night. He is always attentive to the cry of His children and He is very interested in anything that concerns you. Call to Him for whatever wisdom, guidance, and revelation you need to deal with the situation before you. Hold onto your confident trust in the LORD, because nothing is too difficult for our GREAT GOD!

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up. — Psalm 5:3 (NKJV) Daily enter the throne room of God, with your heart as the living sacrifice. Let it be your voice the LORD hears every morning, giving thanks for another day and laying your requests and concerns before Him. When you don’t know what to do, look up, look to our mighty God and listen for His still small voice. He knows the solution to every problem. He has the answer to every question. And He will provide the direction and guidance that is needed for every situation you face. Amen!

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. — Philippians 5:6 (NLT) In every situation and circumstance, pray and petition God. Continue to give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV). And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19, NKJV).

Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]! — Psalm 103:1, 5 (AMP) Let us praise the LORD, with hearts of gratitude. He fills our lives with good things (Psalm 103:5, NLT) and renews our youthful spirits. As we continually hope in the LORD, He renews our strength, so we can soar on wings like eagles; we can run and not grow weary, we will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31, NIV). Like eagles, we can be strong, overcoming and soar high above the circumstances of our lives. Amen!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  — Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) In EVERY situation, let your requests be made known to God, by prayer and petition, always giving thanks to our great God for Who He is, all He has done and all He will  do in the future. When we give all our worries and cares to God (1 Peter 5:7), our burdens become lighter and we find rest for our souls. Also, the perfect peace of God settles upon our hearts and goes to the very center of our being. This peace goes above and beyond the realm of human understanding and keeps you completely calm in the middle of chaos and crises. It shields your heart and mind against anxiety, as you as you live in and trust Christ Jesus.

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).
