2012 November 22 - Morning Manna

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. .. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.(Psalms 136:1-3; 26)

Today's Morsel: Here is my prayer of blessing for you to pray today.

For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous. Father, I therefore declare that I am blessed because of You. Father, I know that I am blessed and highly favored of You. But I ask that You would allow this same blessing to flow to Your people as well. Thank You for surrounding me with Your favor as with a shield. I thank You, Lord, that I can abound in your favor and blessing today. I therefore seek Your favor to go before me today. I anticipate the favor of God surrounding me today, and I seek You for favor with men; even with ungodly men, because Your word says, "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him" (Proverbs 16:7). Your word says, "Lord, If You shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if You command the locusts to devour the land, or if You send pestilence among my people; If Your people, which are called by Your name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek Your face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will You hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:13-14). Lord Jesus, we are your people. And we seek Your blessing today. We seek for Your blessing upon Your people. Father, You told Abraham that You would make him a great nation, and You will bless him, and make his name great; and that he shalt be a blessing" (Genesis 12:2). Bless us, Father, with Your Spirit, with Your power, and with Your Anointing, that we may accomplish Your will in the earth and in the land that You have given unto us for Your Glory! I thank You, Jesus, for opening doors for me that man cannot shut. Thank You for blessing the works of our hands as we go forth to accomplish Your will. May we experience a supernatural increase and provision in every area of our lives this day and in the days to come. These things we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, "HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU!"

Sing: Thank you Lord, for saving my soul. Thank you Lord, for making me whole. Thank you Lord, for giving to me, Thy great salvation, so rich, and 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.
