Manna for Your Morning

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. — Psalm 23:1-2 (NASB) Jehovah-Ro’i (YHWH-Rohi), means the LORD is our Shepherd. He leads us in love. He renews our strength. He guides us in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (See Psalm 23:3) He continually watches over us and takes care of us. He corrects us with kindness, for our own good. We all are like sheep, at some point we have gone astray. Let us always stay close to the Shepherd. Yeshua is the Good Shepherd. He knows His sheep and they know Him. They listen to His voice, and answer when He calls. The Good Shepherd sacrifices His life for the sheep. What are we willing to sacrifice for our mighty God and His Kingdom? And He will arise and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, In the majesty of the name of the LORD His God. And they will remain, because at that time He will be great to the ends of the earth. This One will be our peace. — M...

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? — Proverbs 30:4 (NKJV) Every name of God reveals an aspect of Who He is. In Genesis, He is Elohim, Creator. He created the whole wide world and knit each one of us together in the womb of our mothers. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. El is Almighty God, the strong One. He is YAHWEH (Jehovah). El Elohe Yisrael is the Holy One of Israel, the only true God. He is El Elyon, the God Most High, higher than any mountain that stands before you. Greater than any challenge you face. He is El Olam, the eternal and everlasting God. He is the Beginning and the End. Adonai is our Master and majestic Lord, owner of our lives, with Supreme authority. He is the great I AM. And His Son’s name is YESHUA (Jesus). He is Immanuel, God With Us. YESHUA is the name above all nam...

My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. — Psalm 73:26 (NLT) Yahweh arms us with strength for the battle. God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! (Psalm 68:35 NLT) The LORD blesses His people with peace. (See Psalm 29:11 NLT) Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. (Psalm 105:4 NLT) …in my distress I cried out to you, the delivering God, and from your temple-throne you heard my troubled cry, and my sobs went right into your heart. God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness I can see the path ahead. (Psalm18:6, 28 TPT)

“Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The LORD brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.” Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” — Judges 6:13-14 (NLT) Never believe that the LORD has abandoned you. He is with you forever. God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1 NLT) Go, with the strength you have and He will take care of the rest.

O taste and see that the LORD [our God] is good; How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him. — Psalm 34:8 (AMP) No matter what happens in your life, always remember that the LORD is good. Do not lean on your own understanding. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT) But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him, that I may tell of all Your works. (Psalm 73:28 AMP) Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for I trust in You. Teach me the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. Teach me to do Your will [so that I may please You], for You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.  — Psalm 143:8, 10...

Yahweh says, “You are my witnesses, my chosen servants. I chose you in order that you would know me intimately, believe me always, and fully understand that I am the only God. There was no god before me, and there will be no other god after me. I, only I, am Yahweh, and there is no Savior-God but me.” — Isaiah 43:10-11 (TPT) “From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” (Isaiah 43:13 NLT) “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.” (Isaiah 42:8 NLT) Praise and worship the LORD. Anything or anyone we put before God is an idol. It could be sports, a spouse, children, money, fame, T.V., etc. If we serve our fleshly desires, instead of God, we are serving the idol of selfishness. Understand that He alone is God. He chose you that you would know Him intimately and always believe Him. May we set our affections on Him and utilize our time, talents and treasu...

Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” — Genesis 16:13 (NLT) When you don’t know what to do, call upon the LORD. He is El Roi, the God Who sees you. He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows all of your struggles, hurt and pain. May you truly see Him and open your ears to hear His voice today. In Ezekiel 48:35, He is Yahweh Shammah (the LORD is There). He is our ever-present God, Who is with you wherever you go. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Find comfort and strength in His Presence, today, tomorrow and forever. I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. — Psalm 139:7-10 (NLT)
