2015 May 7 - Morning Manna

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: (Isaiah 55:6)

Today's Morsel: Do you ever have one of those moments when you can't find what you are looking for? It has been stated that most people's lack of contentment is because they just can't seem to find that one thing that they are looking for. People change jobs, careers, homes, furniture, automobiles, and even spouses, all because they can't seem to find in these things the one thing they are looking for. That one thing that can bring them satisfaction and contentment. Isaiah said that we should seek the Lord while He may be found. You see, if we find Jesus, we can find contentment. And once we find Him, we will find contentment in what we do, the things we have, and even with others. Jesus told us,"For without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Believe me, without Him you will never have contentment.

Sing: I found the way that leads to endless day, yonder in the glory land; and the road is bright, for Jesus is the Light, and I hold His guiding hand.

I have found the way. I have found the way; Glory hallelujah, I have found the way.

Thought for Today: Even a blind dog finds a bone every now and then.

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.
