2010 May-19 - Morning Manna

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1).

Today's Morsel: Some people are like roller coasters, up and down at a very fast pace. If they aren't traveling at 100 miles per hour, they don't know what to do. But we, as born again believers, must live our lives at a stable and consistent pace. We are not to be up and down, but we must remain steadfast. Paul said that we are to be steadfast and unmoveable. To be steadfast is to be unwavering, persistent, committed, dedicated, and firm. James said, "He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed" (James 1:6). You can't build anything if you are always on the go and have no stability. We must be built on the solid foundation and one that is unmovable. We must be built on Jesus Christ, as He is the chief cornerstone. When you became born again of the water and spirit, Jesus made you free from the things that caused you to be unstabled. Now you must choose to not go back to those things, as they will cause you to come under bondage and be yoked again in sin. So let me encourage you today, Jesus saw the hold that Satan had on you and He purchased your freedom, don't let Him down by going back.

Sing: He set me free, yes, He set me free, He broke the bonds of prison for me, I'm glory bound my Jesus to see, glory to God, He set me free.

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.
