The Word
FRIDAY MANNA 10 JANUARY ‘25

“ADONAI IS YOUR SHIELD & FORTRESS FOREVER!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Here is what Adonai says: ‘The wise man should not boast of his wisdom, the powerful should not boast of his power, the wealthy should not boast of his wealth; instead, let the boaster boast about this: that he understands and knows me — that I am Adonai, practicing grace, justice…’” (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich in physical gratification and earthly wealth glory and boast in his temporal satisfactions and earthly riches; But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character, that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
Teach me Your way, O Lord, Adonai Hashem that I may walk and live in Your truth; direct and unite my heart solely and reverently to fear and honor Your name. I will confess and praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole united heart; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.
For great is Your mercy and loving-kindness toward me; and You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol from the exceeding depths of affliction.
O God, the proud and insolent are risen against me; a rabble of violent and ruthless men has sought and demanded my life, and they have not set You before them. But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness and truth.
O turn to me and have mercy and be gracious to me; grant strength, might and inflexibility to temptation to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaiden.
Show me a sign of Your evident goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, will show Your approval of me when You help and comfort me.
The Lord God Almighty will be your Shield and Fortress in this season in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Everybody shout, “PRAISE THE LORD!”
Shalom and good morning.
Dr. Daniel O. C.
