Morning Manna

"At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light and the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight and now I am happy all the day." Today is Good Friday, the day Jesus laid down His life for us. Rejoice in the amazing sacrifice He made today!

Psalm 22 is a Messianic Psalm that describes how our Saviour Jesus felt as he approached His sacrifice for us on the cross. Listen and imagine this incredible love, grace and mercy He was giving to us. Enjoy this reading and have a blessed Maundy Thursday.

1 Thessalonians 2:12 says; “that you would have a walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.” God describes our life as a walk... a daily pattern of faith and purpose. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

I love what God said to Joshua in Joshua 13:1- “Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: ‘You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.’” I tell people that there is no such thing as retirement... you must always have purpose. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Acts 4:12 says; "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” 1 Timothy 2:5 says; " For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus." Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." There is no other way to salvation but Jesus. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Enjoy a reading of Psalm 17 today and let your cry and prayer go before our Father who loves us with an everlasting love. Have a Jesus filled day!

...And the walls came tumbling down! Let's talk about some lessons from the miracle of Jericho. Let's learn from this story and exercise our faith in God for whatever walls are towering over you.

In today's episode I share a verse that I pray over myself each morning... before my feet hit the floor - "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Ephesians 4:29. May each of us have a mouth full of grace today!

I love Psalm 119:105 - “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God's Word gives us direction for our next steps. He doesn't give us high beam headlights but rather a lamp to our feet. Let His Word direct you today. Trust Him for what you can't see, because He can see it.

Are you ready for convicting verse today? 1 Samuel 16:7 - “But the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’” How's your heart today?

Enjoy a reading of Psalm 16 today on Morning Manna. Have a blessed weekend and see you next week.

Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, experienced difficult challenges in his life and ministy. Jeremiah 38:6 tells us... “So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the king’s son, which was in the court of the prison, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire [mud]. So Jeremiah sank in the mire.” Let's talk about the mire we experience in our own lives.

Need some cheering up today... how about this - John 16:33: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

All things work together for our good... seriously Lord? YES Lord! What a powerful and encouraging promise we have in Romans 8:28. Let's live it out today. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

1 John 4:19 says; “We love Him because He first loved us.” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Don't you love the words Grace and Mercy? Grace is God giving what we don't deserve and mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve. Psalm 136:1 says this... “Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Luke 11:9–10 says; “And I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” What are your asks, seeks and knocks today? Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Psalm 8:1-2 says this - "I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High." What will you do today?

In Deuteronomy 26:17–18 we read this; “Today you have proclaimed the LORD to be your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and that you will obey His voice. Also today the LORD has proclaimed you to be His special people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His commandments." This was the second generation of Israel after their leaving Egypt. As they entered into the Promise Land, they renewed their commitment to God. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

In today's episode I share from Jeremiah 12:5-8. It explains the difference between trusting in man or trusting in God. Who are you trusting in today?
