Morning Manna

In today's episode I read from Psalm 33. Have a blessed day and trust the Lord with all your heart.

In today's episode I share what I'm calling a "Colossal Word" from Colossians 3:12-17. This passage is indeed colossal and full of admonition that we all need today.

In today's episode I share truth from my life verse in Acts 20:22-24. Don't be discouraged today... instead be determined.

I love the teaching of Jesus about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14. It's one thing to be right and another to be humble. Right and wrong is indeed important but not at the expense of pride, arrogance and judgmentalism.

The opening of a letter is called the Salutation but the closing of a letter is called the Valediction. In today's episode I share the powerful valediction of Paul's closing of the letter to the Corinthian church. "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.  Let all that you do be done with love." 1 Cor. 16:13-14

Life can certainly be struggling but God is at work producing in us the life of Jesus. Trade your sorrows today for the joy of the Lord.

Waiting can be tough for sure but God works in the waiting. Whatever you're waiting for today, be encouraged because they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

In today's episode I read Psalm 30. I hope that it brings you comfort today and prepares you for opportunities to be a blessing and encouragement to others.

I love the message of Isaiah 26:3 - You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Especially in today's world, we need that kind of staying power.

What's a worrywart? One who worries excessively and needlessly.A person who  worries especially about unimportant matters or thinks about unfortunate things that might happen. In today's episode I share Jesus' remedy for worry from the Sermon on the Mount.

In today's episode I share a Lyft ride story and how we get through those flash flood experiences of life.

Today is the first day of Fall. I love the changing of the leaves and the diversity of colors. Life also has many seasons and God is Lord of all of them. Trust Him in all the seasons of life. He is in control.

There are three very powerful things that we need to focus on today in Romans 12:12. It call it my trifecta for the day. It's a powerful triple play that will bless you today. "Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer."

It's so easy in our time to be offensive or defensive. What should our focus be today in these challenging times we're living in?

In today's episode I share a story about an inspirational Uber ride I did yesterday. I encourage you today to keep your radar up for opportunities to do little things that can have a big difference in someone's life.

In today's episode a switch around some verses in Philippians 4 to demonstrate what our focus should be if we want to experience peace and joy in the midst of troubling times.

I love the way the Book of Psalms brings calm to us in difficult times. In today's episode, I read over you Psalm 86. May His peace be all over you today.

We are blessed by God so that we can be a blessing. How will you bless others today?

Today's YouVersion verse of the day is powerful. And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his name alone will be worshiped. Zech 14:9 Live today with expectancy because the King is coming!

I needed some calm in my life this morning... something to speak to my soul and give me rest from the troubles of this world. May my reading of the Psalm 145 bring His calm to you today. Have a blessed weekend.
