Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 9 November 2020

Mansion

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:1-3)

Today’s Morsel: How often do you think about your mansion that Jesus has gone to prepare for you? If Jesus were to allow you to see into the heavenly realm, what do you think it would look like? When we think of mansions here on earth, we think of huge structures that rich and wealthy folks live in. How big do you think yours will be? The Greek word for mansion here is the word, monē mon-ay’, is a residence. I am not too worried about the size, I just want to be there. That is why each day I am doing everything I can to ensure that nothing stops me from being ready when Jesus comes back to carry me home. Are you ready to go see your mansion?

Sing: I’ve a home prepared where the saints abide; Just over in the glory land. And I long to be by my Saviors’ side; Just over in the glory land.

Just over in the glory land, I'll join the happy angel band, Just over in the glory land. Just over in the glory land, there with the mighty host I’ll stand, Just over in the glory land.

Thought For Today: See that no man robs you of your mansion!

About Morning Manna

And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat (Exodus 16:10-15).

“Morning Manna” is a short daily devotion which began in 2002, with just a short note of encouragement to a friend who was facing difficulties at the time. Through their response, I was encouraged to begin a daily devotion via email and send it to people who asked to be put on the distribution list. It is now reaching around the globe. Its birth came about during Morning Prayer. The Lord revealed to me that I should forward my friend a word of encouragement, since it is through patience and comfort of the scripture that we find hope. Thus, I forwarded him the words the Lord had given to me for him, and he forwarded it on to someone else who was having difficulties in their life as well, and thus the original list began.

The goal of “Morning Manna” is to provide people with a quick, thought provoking Word from the Lord, as well as provide encouragement from His Word that can help them through the day and during unexpected trails and circumstances in their daily lives.

Several years ago, Jesus moved on my heart to start writing daily devotions; thus began “Morning Manna”. Today, many people are receiving these daily devotions and many of these people are forwarding it on to their family and friends. It is my hope to encourage even more through posting the devotions to this blog-page.

I pray that you, too, will enjoy reading the manna from this site.
