2014 March 26 - Morning Manna

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)

Today's Morsel: Thomas Paine said, "A long habit of not think a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right." If you ever notice, in the political realm, when something is wrong and they want people to agree with them, they will keep saying the same thing that is wrong over and over until they can get enough people to think that it's right; and then they say that the people agree. One of the false doctrines being taught today is that there are no absolutes. This horse is being pounded into the minds of young people day after day in the hope that they will agree. But I will tell you, there are some absolutes. If you give me a $10 bill for a $1 soda, and you don't get back $9 in change, I am sure you will soon want me to see there is an absolute. Sometimes when I am traveling, and I see all the automobiles, I ask myself how many of them are on the wrong road and don't know it. Solomon said, "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Proverbs 14:12). Let me encourage you, don't keep listening to people who tell you that there is no heaven and that there is no hell. If I were you, I would rather live my life as though there is a heaven and be right, than to live it wrong and find out that there is a hell.

Sing: Jesus! I'm depending on You; Jesus! I'm depending on You; Jesus! I'm depending on You, I'm depending on, depending on You, to see me through.

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.
