Manna for Your Morning

He reached from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. — Psalm 18:16-18 (AMP) When you go through deep waters, Yahweh will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. (See Isaiah 43:2a NLT) He is the LORD, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. (See Isaiah 43:16) Yahweh will rescue you from the mighty waters and draw you to Himself. His hand will guide you, and His strength will support you. (See Psalm 139:10 NLT) Psalm 147:6 (NLT) says: The LORD supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust. Be humble and keep your trust in YAHWEH, at all times. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of grace who has called you [to His everlasting presence] through Jesus the Anointed will restore you, support you, strengthe...

I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. — Psalm 139:7-10 (NLT) Why try to escape the Presence of the LORD? As Jonah learned when he tried to run away from God, there is no place we can go to flee from His Presence. He knows where we go and where we lie down. He knows everything we do. (Psalm 139:3) He is intimately acquainted with all our ways. (Psalm 139:3b AMP). His Presence is with us to lead us and guide us. His Holy Spirit is our Helper (John 14:26). The Spirit of God is our strength and support. He empowers us to do all that we are called to do. Instead of running away from God, let us be drawn by His love for us, into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. Worship Him and be filled with His Spirit. Let Him occup...

Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” — Genesis 16:13 (NLT) Our heavenly Father sees us. We can take comfort in the fact that His eye is upon us. The Amplified Bible says, He sees us with understanding and compassion (Genesis 16:13). The LORD watches over us because He cares for us. He guides us and strengthens us as we go. Thank God that He never leaves our side. O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your streng...

I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. — Psalm 139:7-10 (NLT) His Presence is always with us. No need to hide or run away from His Presence. He goes with us for good and not evil. His Presence is our protection, and our peace. His Presence is our source of strength and power. He is a mighty fortress, and a refuge in times of trouble. May we continually delight ourselves in His Presence.

They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. — Psalm 18:18 (AMP) When the enemy confronts you, it is God who arms you with strength, and makes your way perfect. (Psalm 18:32 NKJV). He arms you with strength for the battle; (Psalm 18:39 NKJV). Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). The enemy likes to come at us when we are down or weak, but thanks be to God, He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57)

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. — 2 Samuel 22:18-19 (NKJV) When the enemy attacks, know that the LORD is your support and the day of your deliverance is near. The Message Bible says, God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight. My God—the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout; My mountaintop refuge, he saves me from ruthless men. (2 Samuel 22:2-3) Call on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and take shelter in Him. He will deliver you from the hand of your enemies and out of all your troubles.

I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. — Psalm 94:18-19 (NLT) The unfailing love of the LORD is our support. If God hadn’t been there for me, I never would have made it. The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,” your love, God, took hold and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up  (Psalm 94:17-19 MSG). When you don’t know what to do, run to the LORD. He will calm you down and cheer you up. His mercies are new every morning.

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. — 1 Peter 5:10 (NLT) You may feel like you're in between a rock and a hard place, but do not lose heart or become discouraged. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all (2 Corinthians 4:17 NIV). Whatever the current challenge, it will come to pass and our Heavenly Father will restore, support and strengthen you. No weapon formed against you will prosper. (Isaiah 54:17). What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good. Amen!

In light of all this… I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. — Ephesians 4:1 (MSG) The moment a train is derailed, it is headed for destruction. It has to progress steadily, on the tracks, and allow the tracks to guide it, in order to reach the intended destination. Similarly, once we step off the track of what God has for us, we are headed for a wreck. When we stay in continual communion with the LORD, He will be our guide and support, enabling us to run strong and long, with purpose and determination. Then we will see promises fulfilled and dreams materialized. As we stay on track with God, we will be sure to reach our desired destination. Good wants the best for you, don’t settle for less.

Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, gave the people this message from the LORD: “I am with you, says the LORD!” — Haggai 1:13 (NLT) This morning, I give you this message: “The LORD is with you!” Have you ever wondered why God repeatedly reminds us, in His Word, that He is with us? Could it be that He wants us to remember that He is always there to help us and comfort us, to lead us and guide us. We never have to feel alone, rejected or abandoned. He is there to catch us if we fall. In Isaiah 41:10 , He says, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” He is with us to support and strengthen us. Praise the LORD for His Presence!

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. — Psalm 37:23 (NLT) As long as you are following the LORD, you can take every step in faith, knowing that He is with you and His plans for you are good, to give you a future and a hope. He delights to be involved in every detail of our lives. When it comes to us, He leaves nothing to chance. Though we may fall, we shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps our hand in support and upholds us. (Psalm 37:24 AMP). Let us be grateful that He cares enough to be concerned.

By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You. — Psalm 71:6 (NKJV) Since the moment God created our inmost beings and knit us together in our mother’s wombs, He has watched over every detail of our lives. From the day we were born, until now, He has upheld us and been our support. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28 NAS). Let our praise be continually of Him, our Maker and Creator.

The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. He drives out the enemy before you; he cries out, ‘Destroy them!’ — Deuteronomy 33:27 (NLT) The everlasting arms of our heavenly Father are underneath us. He is there to catch us when we fall. He formed us in our mother's womb and gave us the breath of life. He has continually been our support, since birth. God holds us close and carries us through the difficult times. He delivers us from all our troubles and will carry us even to old age. Our faithful God has not brought you this far to leave you now.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.  — Psalm 18:18 (NKJV) When your enemy attacks, the LORD will stand by your side. While others may abandon you, God is your strong and mighty support. Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in the LORD. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4)

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until He has mercy on us. — Psalm 123:2 (NKJV) Do not put your confidence in your own strength, abilities, and talents. Look to the LORD. He has an abundant supply of all that we need. For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4), power and wisdom. In our weakness, His strength is made perfect. Keep looking to the LORD our God, watching and waiting, for His abundant mercy and great grace. Lean on and be confident in the LORD, our provider. He will be your support and supply what you lack.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. — Isaiah 54:10 (NIV) Do not be disturbed by the fiery trials and troubles you are going through. Hold onto His peace. When all the shaking is done, the things which cannot be shaken will remain, that is God's unfailing love for you and His covenant of peace. Through the unfailing love of the Most High you will remain standing. His unfailing love is your support (Psalm 94:18 NIV). The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love (Psalm 147:11 NIV). Morning by morning He brings you word of His unfailing love. Embrace it and it will preserve your life!

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. — Psalm 18:16-18 (NIV) When it seems like you are drowning, know that you are not out of God’s reach. He will take hold of you and draw you out of the floodwaters. The LORD is our support. If God is for us, who can ever be against us? (Romans 8:31) He who dwells in us is greater than he who is in the world. Overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us (Romans 8:37b). Amen!

When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. — Psalm 63:6-8 (NKJV) Think of the LORD and His goodness as you lie on your bed at night, because He faithfully brings you through each day. Abba Father awakens you in the morning and with His help you have the strength to get up. His fresh mercies and new compassions enable you to overcome challenges and fulfill all that He has called you to. Follow closely behind the LORD and His right hand will be your support.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. —Psalm 18:18 (NKJV) When confronted with anything that is contrary to God’s Word, pull out your sword of the Spirit, (which is the word of God) and use it. Declare the Word in the face of the enemy’s lies. As for God, His way is perfect and His word is proven (Psalm 18:30a). It is the truth that will set you free, free from sickness, free from lack, free from whatever has you bound. Isaiah 59:19 says, when the enemy comes in like a flood,
 the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. That standard is His Word. When we believe it in our hearts and speak it out of our mouths, His Word is alive and active in our lives and opens the door for God’s will to done on the earth, as it is in heaven.

“Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” — Luke 22:42 (NKJV) The commitment and submission Jesus had to the Father, led Him to give His life to save a lost world. For the joy that was set before Him, Jesus was obedient to the Father’s will and endured the pain of the cross (Hebrews 12:2). May we fully submit to God, and yield to His will and His ways. It may not always “feel good,” but after you have suffered a little while, He will restore, support, and strengthen you (1 Peter 5:10). Just like Jesus, we have a future full of hope and joy, that grows brighter and brighter. Stay committed to the Father's will and the rest of your life will be the absolute BEST of your life!
