2014 November 13 - Morning Manna

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
(John 12:30-32)

Today's Morsel: Come on you can do better than that? Clap your hands all ye people and shout unto God with a voice of Triumph. Who said that God doesn't like sports. He's got His own cheerleader squad every Sunday to motivate us, all because many just don't seem to want to worship. And so the praise team and praise leader try to motivate us to get Jesus lifted up in our lives. Jesus said, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Having an understanding of this, shouldn't all of us who say that we are born again be doing everything we can to elevate Christ in our lives and to others. Jesus didn't just say some men, He said all men unto himself. Think about this for a moment. If one can put a thousand to flight, and two can put ten thousand to flight, think about what you could do if you lifted Jesus up. Lifting up your Savoir may save a lost loved one. Let's not wait for others to have to inspire us to lift Him. Let's lift Him because He's God.

Sing: Lift Jesus higher, higher, higher; higher, higher, higher; Higher, higher, higher, super natural higher.

Thought for today: Lifting up your Savoir may save a lost loved one.

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.
