Not forgetting All His Benefits!

Today’s Manna!

Psalm 103:1-2 (NIV) begins with a powerful declaration: “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”

In these verses, we are called to praise the Lord with our entire being and to remember all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. It’s a reminder to lift our voices in gratitude for His goodness, faithfulness, and abundant provision in our lives.

Psalm 100:4 (NIV) – “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4 emphasizes the importance of approaching God with thanksgiving and praise. It reminds us that gratitude is the key to entering into His presence and experiencing His goodness in our lives.

As we reflect on Psalm 103:1-2 and its cross-reference, let us cultivate a heart of thanksgiving and praise. Let us not forget the countless blessings God has poured out upon us, both big and small. In times of joy and abundance, may we remember to praise Him, and in times of trial and difficulty, may we still offer Him our gratitude, knowing that He is always with us, working all things together for our good.

The Faith of Israel Crossing the Red Sea!

Today’s Manna!

Hebrews 11:29 (NIV) recounts the incredible act of faith displayed by the Israelites as they crossed the Red Sea: “By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.”

The crossing of the Red Sea stands as a powerful testament to the miraculous intervention of God in response to the faith of His people. Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacle before them, the Israelites trusted in God’s promise of deliverance and stepped out in faith.

Exodus 14:21-22 (NIV) describes the moment of the Red Sea’s parting: “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.” This passage underscores the miraculous nature of God’s provision and the pivotal role of faith in experiencing His deliverance.

Consider the profound impact of the Israelites’ faith-filled obedience on their journey to freedom. Their willingness to trust in God’s leading, even in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances, resulted in their miraculous escape from bondage and oppression.

As we reflect on Hebrews 11:29, let us be inspired by the faith of the Israelites. May their example encourage us to trust in God’s promises and follow His leading, even when the path before us seems daunting. And may we experience the miraculous power of God’s deliverance in our own lives as we step out in faith.

Abraham’s Test of Faith!

Today’s Manna!

Hebrews 11:17-19 (NIV) unveils the depth of Abraham’s faith through the sacrifice of his son Isaac: “By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, ‘It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.’ Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.”

Abraham’s obedience in the face of unimaginable difficulty serves as a powerful example of unwavering faith. God’s command to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac tested the very essence of Abraham’s trust in God’s promises. Yet, Abraham demonstrated extraordinary faith, believing that God was able to fulfill His promises—even in the face of apparent contradiction.

One cross-reference that echoes the message of Hebrews 11:17-19 is Genesis 22:8 (NIV), where Abraham declares to Isaac, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” This passage reveals Abraham’s unwavering trust in God’s provision, even when the situation seemed dire.

Consider the profound implications of Abraham’s faith for our own lives. Like Abraham, we are called to trust in God’s promises, even when circumstances seem impossible. May we be inspired by Abraham’s example to hold fast to our faith in God’s faithfulness, knowing that He is able to fulfill His promises in ways that surpass our understanding.

As we reflect on Hebrews 11:17-19, let us pray for the strength to trust in God’s promises, even when they seem impossible. May our faith be unwavering, and may we be willing to obey God’s commands, knowing that He is faithful to His word.

Come, Let Us Worship and Bow Down!

Today’s Manna!

Psalm 95:6-7 (NIV) calls us into the presence of the Almighty with words that resonate with reverence and adoration: “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.”

These verses invite us to enter into a posture of worship—bowing down and kneeling before our Maker in recognition of His sovereignty and majesty. As we gather together on this Worship Day Sunday, let us heed the call to worship with humble hearts and grateful spirits.

One cross-reference that echoes the message of Psalm 95:6-7 is Philippians 2:10-11 (NIV), which states, “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” This passage emphasizes the universal call to worship and bow down before the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Consider the awe-inspiring privilege we have to worship the God who created the heavens and the earth, the God who sustains us with His love and care. As we come together in worship, let us be mindful of His presence among us, and let us offer Him the honor and praise that He deserves.

As we reflect on Psalm 95:6-7, let us approach God with hearts filled with reverence and adoration. May our worship be pleasing to Him, and may our lives be a testimony to His goodness and grace.

Noah’s Faithful Obedience!

Daily Manna!

Hebrews 11:7 (NIV) highlights the exemplary faith of Noah: “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.”

Noah’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and obedience in the face of adversity. Despite the ridicule and disbelief of those around him, Noah remained steadfast in his trust in God’s word and obediently followed His instructions to build an ark.

One cross-reference that echoes the message of Hebrews 11:7 is Genesis 6:22 (NIV), which states, “Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” This passage emphasizes Noah’s unwavering obedience to God’s instructions, even when they seemed daunting or incomprehensible.

Consider the enormity of Noah’s task—to build an ark of colossal proportions in preparation for a flood of catastrophic proportions. Yet, in the midst of mockery and doubt, Noah remained faithful to God’s calling, trusting in His promise of deliverance.

As we reflect on Hebrews 11:7, let us draw inspiration from Noah’s example of faithful obedience. Like Noah, may we heed God’s warnings and obey His commands, even when they require us to step out in faith into the unknown. And may we trust in God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises, knowing that He is faithful to those who trust in Him.

Abel’s Offering of Faith!

Today’s Manna!

Hebrews 11:4 (NIV) offers a profound insight into the nature of faith through the example of Abel: “By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.”

Abel’s story teaches us that true faith is not merely about outward actions, but about the condition of the heart. When Abel brought his offering to God, he did so with genuine faith and obedience, offering the best of his possessions as an expression of his love and devotion to God.

Genesis 4:4-5 (NIV) says “The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.” This passage highlights the importance of the heart attitude behind our actions, showing that God sees and evaluates the sincerity of our faith.

Consider the contrast between Abel’s offering and that of his brother Cain. While Cain’s offering may have been outwardly impressive, it lacked the sincerity and faith that characterized Abel’s offering. As a result, Abel’s offering was accepted by God, while Cain’s was rejected.

As we reflect on Hebrews 11:4, let us examine our own hearts and motives in our worship and service to God. Are we offering our best to Him with genuine faith and obedience, or are we merely going through the motions? Let us strive to emulate Abel’s example of true faith, offering our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.
