2014 December 26 - Morning Manna

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

(Proverbs 16:31)

Today's Morsel: Many folks become depressed when they see gray beginning to grow in their hair. Some see this as a sign of growing old, and so they try to change it back to its original (younger) color by dying it. But Jesus said, "Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black"(Matthew 5:36). Solomon's words are and should be of great encouragement to us. He said that the hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. If we are doing right and living right, then when our hair starts to change its color, God is bringing about illustrious beauty in us. Righteousness is the white linen of the saints of God.

Sing: To be like Jesus. To be like Jesus. On earth I long to be like Him. All though life's journey from earth to glory, I only ask to be like Him.

Thought for Today: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Jesus Christ)

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.
