Manna for Your Morning

And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” — Mark 4:37-38 (NKJV) Jesus was able to sleep in the midst of the storm because He trusted the Father. Jesus is fully aware of all that concerns you. Know for a fact, that Jesus cares about you so much, He gave His life to save you. And God has not forgotten about you or your situation. You are continually on His mind and He constantly lavishes His love on you. He is so intimately involved with you, on a moment by moment basis, that the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Luke 12:7a) When the winds of adversity arise in your life, know that God is working for your good. As the stormy waves hit, remember that nothing is too difficult for our wonder-working God.

Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. — Zechariah 9:12 (NKJV) When all things in  your life seem to be going awry, seek refuge in the strong fortress of our mighty God. Imprison yourself inside His walls of hope. Let your voice continue to sing His praises. Persist in prayer without ceasing and stand on His wonderful promises. As you praise, pray and remember His promises, you will keep your hope in our wonder-working God alive! May He give you double for your trouble.

O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, even purposes planned of old [and fulfilled] in faithfulness and truth. — Isaiah 25:1 (AMP) We can praise the LORD at all times because He is faithful and true. No matter what storm rages around us, the LORD, our God, our El Shaddai (benevolent Blesser), is with us and He is faithful to bring us through, even if He has to carry us. The LORD is a wonder-working God and He will fulfill every promise He has spoken. He created us on purpose and for a purpose. As we continue to walk in His ways, we can be certain that  the good plans He has for us will be accomplished.

“And you, because of my blood covenant with you, I’ll release your prisoners from their hopeless cells. Come home, hope-filled prisoners! This very day I’m declaring a double bonus— everything you lost returned twice-over!” — Zechariah 9:11-13 (MSG) Anxiety, fear, or depression, no longer has dominion over you. The LORD has released us from any hopeless cells of despair the enemy had enclosed around us. No matter how hopeless your situation may appear, keep your hope in our wonder-working God alive. Come home to the Land of Hope! Be held captive by the hope you have in your heart for our living God and His mighty power to save and deliver. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us…(Romans 5:5 NLT).
