Manna for Your Morning

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals;  For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, — Revelation 5:9 (NKJV) We overcome and conquer our enemy because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of our testimony… (Revelation 12:11 AMP). Jesus Christ, loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, (Revelation 1:5) His blood washes us all, no matter which tribe, tongue, people or nation we belong to. He set the captives free. Those who dwell in darkness, He brings into the light. Worthy is the Lamb of God, to receive all honor, praise and glory! Sing a new song to Him today.

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. — Romans 12:9 (NLT) Let us deeply and sincerely love others. For most people, it's easy to say, “I love you” but a sincere love is not only spoken. It is shown with action and backed up with a kind and supportive attitude. What we do speaks volumes more than what we say. When Jesus showed the disciples the full extent of His love, He washed their feet (John 13:1-5). Afterward, Jesus said, “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet,” (John 13:14). Are you a disciple of Christ? Are you washing the feet of others, (helping to meet their needs)?

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. — Ephesians 2:13 (NKJV) At one time, we lived in this world without God and without hope (Ephesians 2:12), but now we have been brought near to the throne of God, by the blood of Christ. We have been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ. Jesus, loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood (Revelation 1:5). Because of the blood of Jesus, God has adopted us into His family. What great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! Now we can boldly enter the Most Holy Place and fellowship with our heavenly Father, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hallelujah!

let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. — Hebrews 10:22 (NKJV) Let us draw near to God with true (honest and sincere) hearts. God alone knows what is in the hearts of all people. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). If your heart is loyal to the Lord, He alone occupies first place. He is pre-eminent and the foremost priority in your thoughts and actions. I encourage you to remain true to the Lord with all your heart (Acts 11:23)!
