2013 May 30 - Morning Manna

And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (2 Chronicles 20:20)

Today's Morsel:Many people seem to be concerned about what is going on in our world today. Many ask themselves what it will be like for their children and grandchildren? Should we as born again believers be concerned about these things? The scripture tells us to believe in the LORD our God, and we shall ye be established; and if we believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper. We must get to the point in our lives that no matter what everyone else is doing, we are established in who our God is and who we are in Him. God doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. As He told Peter when he asked Him about John's life, "Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me" (John 21:22). When we believe what God's Word tells us, it will come to pass. So no matter what is going on in this world or in the lives of others, don't allow it to uproot you and pull you away from the things of God. Our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Sing: I believe God, I believe God, that he will do, just as he said. Trust and obey, believe Him and say, I believe, I believe God.

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.
