2015 January 13 - Morning Manna

Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

(Psalms 124:6-8)

Today's Morsel: Since my salvation, I often wonder how many other things the Lord has saved me from. Since I have received salvation, I can look back and see what type person I truly was. To be honest with you, my life was a total mess and I didn't even realize it. The Bible truly does reveal the hidden things of darkness and dishonesty. I was in Satan's cage and didn't even know it. Sad to say, many today are still in his cage and don't know it. Because many have been in his cage for so long, Jesus has opened the door to freedom, yet they choose to remain in the cage because they have become accustom to it. The Bible says that those of us who are saved have escaped. And now our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Jesus is our helper. The writer of Hebrews lets us know that now we can come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

Sing: Reach out and touch the Lord as He passes by, you will find He's not too busy to hear your heart's cry; He is passing by this moment your need to supply, so reach out and touch the Lord, as He goes by.

Thought for Today: Jesus still helps those who call upon His name.

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.
