And just like the people of Israel had to gather Manna fresh every morning in the wilderness, so it is with us. Every day He made sure it met their needs, they were satisfied, they were nourished, they were cared for. And they never lacked, for God's resources never run dry.
That's what He does for us every single morning. Sometimes we miss it, out of busyness or stress. We try to get things going too fast, spinning wildly, trying to get it all done, and sometimes we might start to forget what matters most.
But even for those times, His grace is there. He waits for us. His patience and peace never run dry.
Each day, His miracles are all around, right before our eyes. We just have to choose to look for them, to pick up His provision, and stay close to His Presence.
Jesus covers our past, secures our future, and gives us all that we need for this day too. He promises that as we come to Him, and allow His truths to nourish and saturate our lives, we will be satisfied. We will have all that we need to live abundantly and freely in this life.
Don’t waste another moment trying to do life all on your own strength. We were never meant to carry the load and burdens that we face daily; we will always fall short. But we can live in and through His power. It’s a daily choice. May God help us to choose wisely.
11 Verses to Help Us Live in the Power of His Word and Experience the Presence of Jesus:
Jesus is the Bread of Life – "Then Jesus declared, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty'" (John 6:35).
Jesus offers us Living Water – “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water” (John 4:10).
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life – “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Jesus is our Savior and Lord – “For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).
Jesus is our Rock – “For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:4).
Jesus is our Redeemer – “And as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last will take His stand on the earth” (Job 19:25).
Jesus is the Light of the world – “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
Jesus is our Peace – “For he himself is our peace…” (Ephesians 2:14).
Jesus is the Beginning and the End – “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 22:13).
Jesus is our Deliverer – “And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus delivers us from the wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians 1:10).
Jesus is the Good Shepherd – “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
All this…and still so much more. He is Mighty. He is Worthy. And He rules over all.
Don’t ever doubt that He’s not there for you, or that He doesn’t care about what you’re walking through. He loves you more than you could ever imagine, and promises to be with you, always.
Jesus. The One who sets us free.
Dear God,
Sometimes life can feel hurried and stressed. Help us not to allow the enemy to steer us away from you. For it’s in those times, that we know we need you most. Give us the strength and wisdom we need to come to you daily, instead of trying to do life all on our own. We thank you for the gift of Jesus, who is able to meet our deepest needs. We thank you for your Holy Spirit who is able to refresh us deep within our souls. Thank you Lord, that you are enough, you are more than enough.In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
