Manna for Your Morning

Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. — Psalms 95:6-7a (NLT) “The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help.” (Psalms 34:15 NLT) “You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked. Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right. May all who are godly rejoice in the LORD and praise his holy name!” (Psalms 97:10-12 NLT) Yahweh is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;
 He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (Psalms 23:1-3 LSB)

“casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” — 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Before we cast our cares, we need to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, and acknowledge that He is willing and more capable to take care of our concerns than we are. First Peter 5:6 (AMP) says to “set aside self-righteous pride.” Put your trust in El Elyon, the God Most High. He is higher than any mountain that stands before you, and greater than any challenge that comes against you. Nothing is too difficult for our great and mighty God. “Cast your burden on the LORD [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken (slip, fall, fail).” (Psalms 55:22 AMP) “If you bow low in God’s awesome presence, he will eventually exalt you as you leave the timing in his hands.” (1 Peter 5:6 TPT) “For I am the LORD your God, who...

casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. — 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) I appreciate that the Word says to “ cast ” our cares. When we throw something, we increase the distance between what is thrown and ourselves, versus just laying it down. And the very act of casting something requires us to let it go. Therefore, cast every care, every concern and all your anxious thoughts on God, and leave them there. Why? Because He tenderly cares for you. So, do not fret, and have no fear. He continually watches over you. Here’s what Yahweh says to you: “I know all about the marvelous destiny I have in store for you, a future planned out in detail. My intention is not to harm you but to surround you with peace and prosperity and to give you a beautiful future, glistening with hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 TPT) Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and a...

But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. — Psalms 33:18-19 (NLT) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. (See Proverbs 9:10 & 3:7) “For the eyes of the Lord Yahweh rest upon the godly, and his heart responds to their prayers. But he turns his back on those who practice evil.” ‭‭(1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬) Let all the earth fear Yahweh; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. (Psalms 33:8 LSB) Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. (Psalms 96:4 NLT) Honor Yahweh with a humble heart and awe-inspired reverence.  Not only are the eyes of the LORD on those who fear Him, Psalms 34:7 (NASB1995) says: The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them. O [reverently]...

“ For the LORD your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He has watched your every step through this great wilderness. During these forty years, the LORD your God has been with you, and you have lacked nothing. ” — Deuteronomy 2:7 (NLT) Just as the LORD watched over the Israelites, He watches over His people today. Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (See 1 Peter 5:7 AMP) He is your provider and protector. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (Psalm 121:8 NLT)

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. — Psalm 121:1-2 (NASB) The LORD himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. (Psalm 121:5-8 NLT) Lift up your eyes. '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)

Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today! — Psalm 95:6-7  (NLT) Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the LORD Himself is God; it is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. (Psalm 100:3 AMP) The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (Psalm 23:1-3 NLT) Even when darkness is all around, stay on the path and follow the light of the Shepherd, knowing He is leading you to a more abundant life. He is bringing you to a fruitful land, where healing and wholeness abound. So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture will give thanks to You forever; to all generations we will tell of Your praise. — Psa...

Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?” — Genesis 16:13-14 (AMP) Our heavenly Father is El Roi, the God Who sees. There is no need to try and hide. He knows all of our thoughts and feelings and He sees us with understanding and compassion. He holds us by the hand and watches over us for good and not for harm. O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! — Psalm 34:8 (NASB)

God is all strength for his people, ample refuge for his chosen leader; Save your people and bless your heritage. Care for them; carry them like a good shepherd. — Psalm 28:8-9 MSG My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.” (Psalm 27:8 NLT) God tells us to come to Him, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (1 Peter 5:7 AMP)

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. — Psalm 121:5-6 (NKJV) The One who keeps you will not slumber or sleep. He watches over you and stands beside you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even the darkness does not hide you from Him. (Psalm 139:12) The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever. (Psalm 121:7-8 NASB) Look up to the mountains— does your help come from there? Your help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth! (Psalm 121:1-2) Look to the LORD, your Keeper. He is our help and our only hope. Amen.

…casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].  — 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) This Scripture gives us two things to do. First, we have to cast our cares. That means we have to let them go. Release them to God. Notice it says “ALL” your cares. Don’t hold onto one, thinking you know better than God how to fix it. Psalm 55:22 in The Message Bibles says, “ Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders— he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out. He’ll never let good people topple into ruin. ” If you are still worrying about something, that's a good indication that you have not cast it. The second thing this Scripture requires us to do is believe that God cares about us. Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV). Know t...

...casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. — 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Why are you carrying your cares? The Word says cast ALL your cares and concerns on God. Our big, mighty God is able to handle anything and everything you give to Him. He cares so much about you, He doesn’t want to see you all stressed out and fretting the future. He wants to take care of everything that concerns you. Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NKJV). If you have something laying heavy on your heart today, give it to God, once and for all, and walk in His peace and joy.

“For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT)  The LORD our God takes great delight in us. Second Samuel 2:1 says, “My heart rejoices in the LORD;” This relationship is meant to be a two-way exchange. He gives of Himself and we give ourselves to Him. Even when we get distracted and pay little attention to Him, He still watches over us, and woos us back into fellowship with Him. Regardless, He continually lavishes His love on us. Let us take great joy in knowing Him and being known by Him, in this intimate, everlasting covenant of love.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. — Psalm 124:8 (NIV) I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber (Psalm 121:1-3 NIV). God is a very present help. He never sleeps nor does He go on vacation. His care is constant. You will never see an “out of the office” sign posted on the doors of heaven. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever (Psalm 121:8 NLT).

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. — Psalm 140:7(NKJV) Not only does the LORD cover your head, He has enclosed you behind and before, 
and laid His hand upon you (Psalm 139:5 NASB). Our heavenly Father is our hiding place; He shall preserve us from trouble; He shall surround us with songs of deliverance (Psalm 32:7). The LORD is a shield to all who trust in Him (Psalm 18:30). He loves us with an everlasting love; with lovingkindness He has drawn us to Himself and He constantly watches over us. Glory hallelujah!

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; — Psalm 121:1-3 (NIV) Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? (Psalm 42:5) Lift up your eyes and put your hope in God, our Savior. He is where our help comes from. His arm is not too short to reach into your situation and turn it around. The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore (Psalm 121:5, 7-8). Amen! Thank you LORD.

The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. — Psalm 121:5-8 (NIV) Our heavenly Father watches over us. He is our shield of protection. He watches over your life, as you come in and go out. Abba Father knows your pains and your struggles and He is there to catch every tear. The LORD has all your days written in His book and He has already made a way for you!

Realize that the LORD alone is God. He made us, and we are his. We are his people and the sheep in his care. Psalm 100:3 (GW) Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other (Deuteronomy 4:39). Do not be dismayed, for He is our God and we are His people. He will strengthen you and help you; He will uphold you with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). Power and might belong to our God and He delivers us out of trouble. Our heavenly Father faithfully watches over us and keeps us in His constant care. Give thanks to the LORD and praise His holy name!
