Morning Manna

Enjoy a reading of Psalm 57 today. Whatever you're facing... whatever the struggle is... this Psalm will bring encouragment and comfort to you. "Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by." (verse 1)

One of the battles we face every day is in our mind. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 says this; “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

We know about God's "Amazing" grace, but today let's talk about His sufficient grace. 2 Corinthians 12:9: “And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Isaiah 46:4: “Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.” Growing older is certainly full of challenges but also full of opportunties and blessings. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Isaiah 64:4 - “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.” Are you in the waiting? I know it can be tough but let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Enjoy a reading from Psalm 51. It's such a powerful word as David confesses his sin before God. One of the verses I pray every morning before my feet hit the floor, is verse 10 - "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Have a blessed day and weekend!

The Bible is full of truth but the one I want to share with you today is this... Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

One of the quotes I learned in Bible college was this... "The Testing Before the Blessing." Proverbs 17:3 says, “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the hearts.” Let's talk about the testing today on Morning Manna.

Galatians 5:13-15 says this... "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!" On this Fourth of July day... let's have this balanced focus of both liberty and love.

Psalm 147:3–4: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.” Indeed our God is astronomical in His power to create and power to heal. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Enjoy a reading of Psalm 50 today. Have a blessed Friday and weekend. See you next week.

Ephesians 4:15-16 says this... "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil." Let's talk about the importance of time of today's episode of Morning Manna.

2 Corinthians 10:4–5: “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” We're living in a time of spiritual warfare. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

My wife and I are ready a book by Joshua Becker called Things That Matter. Here's a quote to introduce today's episode. The key to a happy retirement is to have something that you are retiring to, not just something that you are retiring from. The difference between happy and unhappy retirees is having a purpose." What is your purpose today?

In today's episode I share some thoughts from a message I heard yesterday from Pastor Jonathon Pokluda about The Cure for Greed. Have a blessed Monday!

As we wrap up the week, enjoy a reading of Psalm 47 and 48. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised!

One of the verses I memorized in Bible college was Proverbs 3:5–6 - “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Let's talk about trust on today's Morning Manna.

Psalm 125:1: “Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.” This is who we are who trust in the Lord. We...Are...Immovable. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Let's talk about manna on today's episode. Exodus 16:31says this about it... “And the house of Israel called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.” For four decades God provided this amazing food six days a week. What manna will you and I take in today?

I love what we read in Jude 1:24 - “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,” Meditate on this verse today and experience exceeding joy. Let's talk about this on today's Morning Manna.
