2011 August 2 - Morning Manna

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Today's Morsel: Do you have trouble with trusting God? Do you have trouble waiting on Him to bring to pass what you've asked of Him? You know, there are going to be many times that you find your back against the wall. And it's during those times that you are going to have to learn to trust God, or you may make the wrong decision. To trust God means to rely and hope and believe that He will come through for you. Paul informs us that the just must live their whole life by their faith. No matter what we are facing or what we are up against, we must never lose our confidence and belief in God. Solomon said that all the ways of a man are right in his own heart, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Jeremiah said that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked who can know it. Our minds can fool us when our backs are against the wall. So don't lean to your own understanding when facing difficult times. But keep believing what God's Word says and He'll bring you through.

Sing: Keep believing because His Word is true, Keep believing you know that Lord will see you through, when troubles rise in your life and you don't know what to do, you'll be fine, if you just keep believing.

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.
