Manna for Your Morning

Be still before the LORD; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him; Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. — Psalm 37:7 (AMP) Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. (Psalm 37:5 NLT) The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. (Psalm 37:23 NLT) Day by day the Lord watches the good deeds of the godly, and he prepares for them his forever-reward. Even in a time of disaster he will watch over them, and they will always have more than enough no matter what happens. (Psalm 37:18-19 TPT) If you truly want to dwell forever in God’s presence, forsake evil and do what is right in his eyes. (Psalm 37:27 TPT) …the Lord will be the Savior of all who love him. Even in their time of trouble, God will live in them as strength. (Psalm 37:39 TPT)

Yet as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last, He will take His stand on the earth. — Job 19:25 (NASB) Psalm 78:35 (VOICE) says, after all they had endured, they remembered that God, the Most High, was their Rock, their Redeemer. No matter what you go through, always remember that the Most High God is our Rock and our Redeemer. Nothing is too difficult for Him. This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow.” (Isaiah 48:17 NLT) …“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are Mine!” (Isaiah 43:1b AMP)

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. — 2 Timothy 1:9 (NLT)  From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. (John 1:16 NLT) By grace we have been saved through faith; and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God; (See Ephesians 2:8) Jesus is the greatest gift of all. Receive Him today. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11 NASB)  The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.  — 2 Peter 3:9 (NASB) 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” — John 14:6 (NASB) Jesus is the only way to the Father. He is the truth that makes us free, the living Word of God. He is the resurrection and the life (See John 11:25) …to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— (John 1:12 AMP) It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; (Acts 17:28a TPT) May we follow Jesus, every moment of the day. “ Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”  — Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)

This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all.  — 1 John 1:5 (NLT) The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. — John 1:4-5 (NLT) No matter how dark this world gets, it can never extinguish the Light of God. In Matthew 5:14-15 (NASB1995), Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” “So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16 TPT) In John 9:5 (TPT), Jesus said, “As long as I am with you my life is the light that pierces the world’s darkness.” Amen and amen!

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. — Ephesians 1:4 (NLT) What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:4-5 NKJV) Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me. (Psalm 139:17-18 TPT) Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. (Psalm 139:10 TPT) Beloved believers, our heavenly Father accepted you and chose you to be a member of His family and an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. We are chosen and cherished. Choose Him today and always be mindful of Him. Let us go forth in His strength and fulfill the plan and purpose He has for us...

except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and to his children I will give the land on which he has walked, because he has followed the LORD completely [and remained true to Him].’  — Deuteronomy 1:36 (AMP) May we follow the LORD completely. It is difficult to move forward with the Lord, with one foot in the world and one foot in the Kingdom of God. A double-minded person is unstable in all his ways. (See James 1:8) Let us be committed to consistently walk in the ways and will of our Mighty God and not compromise by succumbing to the ways of this world. Remain true to Him, by keeping Jesus at the front and center of your life.
