Manna for Your Morning

God proves to be good to the man who passionately waits, to the woman who diligently seeks. It’s a good thing to quietly hope, quietly hope for help from God. It’s a good thing when you’re young to stick it out through the hard times. — Lamentations 3:25-27 (MSG) Keep your hope in the LORD, and you will not be disappointed. We can endure the hard times because He is our help and our impenetrable shield against the fiery darts of the enemy. Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become restless and disturbed within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence. (Psalm 42:5 AMP)

Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies. — Psalm 60:11-12 (NKJV) For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged  (Psalm 62:5-6 AMP). God is our living hope. O my people, trust in him at all times. (Psalm 62:8a NLT). We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. (Philippians 4:13) From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. (Psalm 61:2 NKJV)

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. — Luke 8:15 (NKJV) The bearing of fruit comes with patience. Once we receive the seed, the Word of God, on the good soil of our hearts, we need to develop patience as we wait for the fruit to appear. Just as the farmer waits [expectantly] for the precious harvest from the land, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains. (James 5:7 AMP) God’s Word will bear fruit in your life, whether it's the early or late rains, or both. His Word does not return to Him void. Keep watering the seed by speaking words of life over it and protect it from the enemy who wants nothing more than to steal the Word that has been sown in your heart. “But the seed in the good earth—these are the good-hearts who seize the Word and hold on no matter what, sticking with it until there’s a harvest.” (Luke 8:15 MSG) Stick with it! No matter...

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You. — Psalm 33:20-22 (NKJV) Earnestly wait in expectation for Almighty God to show Himself mighty in your life. Our help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. God Most High is a shield around us. Take refuge in Him. Let your hope be in Him alone. When God is on our side, no one can stand against us.

For since the beginning of the world  Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,  Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,  Who acts for the one who waits for Him.  Isaiah 64:4 (NKJV) There has not been any god like our mighty God, since the beginning of the world. There is none like Him. He is always with us to see us through the thick and thin of life. When we jump up and do things our way, without seeking God and His will, we get what we get. And we don't always like the results. However, when we wait upon the LORD, we get God’s best and we are never disappointed. God already has the perfect plan to work out every circumstance of your life. He has already given us the victory! Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him (Psalm 37:7).
