Manna for Your Morning

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” — Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT) The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. (Psalms 25:8-9 NLT) He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (Psalms 23:3 NLT) Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. (Psalms 25:4-5 NLT) May our steps stay on His path; Let us not waver from following Yahweh. (See Psalms 17:5)

What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?  — Romans 8:31 (AMP) Yahweh is both, for us and with us. Let us make sure we are wholeheartedly with Him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (See 1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV) Second Chronicles 16:9 (NLT) says: “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him…” We cannot straddle the fence. We are either walking with Yahweh, Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, or we are rolling with the devil, this world, or our flesh. For His ways are higher than our ways,
 and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. (See Isaiah 55:9) And let us not get caught up in religious traditions and surface level rituals, just going through the motions. May our hearts be truly devoted and connected to our heavenly Father, King Yeshua, and living as citizens and ambassadors of His everla...

For the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is wholly devoted to Him. — 2 Chronicles 16:9a (LSB) May your heart be loyal to the LORD our God, all of your days. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. And when the enemy attacks, in the day of distress, the LORD will support you. (See Psalms 18:8 NLT) You can do all things [which He has called you to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers you [to fulfill His purpose...] (See Philippians 4:13 AMP) In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might. (Ephesians 6:10 AMP) After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. — 1 Peter 5:10 (NASB1995)

And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’ Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.” — Mark 7:6-8 (NASB1995) Don't just go through the motions of serving Yahweh, truly seek to know Him, and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. May we follow His Word and not the tradition of men. Call upon Him and come and pray to Him, and He will listen to you. Seek Him and you will find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. (See Jeremiah 29:12-13)

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:13   (NASB) Wow! This Scripture pricked my heart this morning. If we half-heartedly seek the LORD, we will miss Him all together. We can scurry around doing good things, trying to get an A+ on our Christian report card but our relationship with Jesus is not about trying to get a checkmark in a box. If that is all we ever do, we are in the classroom, but we are too distracted to learn the real lesson. Sit at the feet of Jesus and let Him instruct you. May we be motivated by a true love for God, to do the right things. Let us seek to please the Lord and be more like Him. We can learn about Jesus, or we can know Jesus by seeking Him wholeheartedly. Draw near to God in every area of your heart (all in) and He will draw near and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. My prayer this morning: Create in me a clean heart, O God… (Psalm 51:10 NKJV).

Then the LORD said to Moses: “How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them? — Numbers 14:11 (NKJV) All the men who were sent to explore the promise land came back and gave the people a bad report, except Joshua and Caleb. They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ (Numbers 14:7-8) And only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land. (Numbers 14:38). They had a different spirt and followed God wholeheartedly (Numbers 14:24). Don't receive the bad report. Our God is good all the time. Believe the LORD and follow Him wholeheartedly to your promise land.

...He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ — Acts 13:22 (NKJV) God said David was a man after His own heart, who will do all His will. Do you follow God wholeheartedly, doing ALL His will, or do you pick and choose what part of the Word, you will follow? My response to God this morning was, “Ouch!” Are we following Philippians 2:14, do all things without complaining and disputing? Do we cast all our cares on the Lord? Are we forgiving and letting no root of bitterness grow, in our garden of unconditional love? When challenged to do all His will, let us remember this: God was ALL in, when He gave His only Son as a sacrifice to save our souls from eternal damnation. Let’s be sold out for Jesus and be about the Father’s business 100%.
