Manna for Your Morning

Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.” Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. — Ecclesiastes 12:1, 12:6 (NLT) Whatever your current age, it’s never too late to earnestly remember your Creator. Second Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV) says: Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Don’t be like those who instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. (See Romans 1:23, 25 NLT) Always remember God. He is our rock, the God Most High...

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. — Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT) Whatever you do, keep your hope in God alive! Those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 NLT) As we wait upon Him, He will show us the right path and lead us with His truth, the Word. He fills our lives with good things and renews our youth like the eagle’s! (Psalm 103:5 NLT)

And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. — Luke 24:52-53 (NKJV)  Let us worship the Lord with great joy. God in His extravagant goodness, grace and mercy has done wonderful works in our lives. O my soul, bless God. From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name! O my soul, bless God, don’t forget a single blessing! He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown. He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence. (Psalm 103:1-5 MSG). We are wrapped in His goodness! Praise the Lord!

And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” — Luke 1:28 (NKJV) We are highly favored and blessed because the Lord is with us. He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. He redeems our lives from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion. He satisfies our desires with good things so that our youth is renewed like the eagle’s (Psalms 103:3-5, NIV). See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! (1 John 3:1a, NIV) His unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth (Psalms 103:11, NLT). Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, all the days God gives you!

Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]! — Psalm 103:1, 5 (AMP) Let us praise the LORD, with hearts of gratitude. He fills our lives with good things (Psalm 103:5, NLT) and renews our youthful spirits. As we continually hope in the LORD, He renews our strength, so we can soar on wings like eagles; we can run and not grow weary, we will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31, NIV). Like eagles, we can be strong, overcoming and soar high above the circumstances of our lives. Amen!

Praise the LORD, my soul, and never forget all the good he has done: He is the one who forgives all your sins, the one who heals all your diseases, the one who rescues your life from the pit, the one who crowns you with mercy and compassion, the one who fills your life with blessings so that you become young again like an eagle. Psalm 103:2-5 (GW) Let us remember all the good things the LORD has done for us. When we confess our sins, He forgives us and removes our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. He heals all our diseases, and  rescues our lives from the pit. Our heavenly Father crowns us with tender mercies and new compassions every morning. He fills our lives with blessings and renews our youth like the eagle’s!
