2015 April 14 - Morning Manna

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9)

Today's Morsel: Most failures in life occur because people quit too soon. Some folks make one mistake and they throw in the towel on their vision and dreams and walk away. All a mistake is is a miss-take. You just missed a step. If you ever watch horse jumping, most mistakes occur because the rider either causes the horse to jump too soon, or he pulls back on the reins while the horse is in his leap. But the rider does not quit because they make a mistake. They circle again and allow the horse to recover from the mistake because the rider knows that the horse has the capability to overcome the obstacle. Jesus knows that you have the capability to overcome your mistake, too. Scripture tells us not to grow weary in well doing. You can always recover if you don't quit.

Sing: Victory ahead, victory ahead, through the blood of Jesus, victory ahead; trusting in the Lord, I hear the conquer's tread, by faith I see the victory ahead.

Thought for today: Let us not be weary in well doing.

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.
