2015 October 24 - Morning Manna

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:1-3)

Today's Morsel: I don't have the strength to go on. I don't have the strength to put up with it anymore. I don't have the strength to face him ever again. I don't have the strength to tell her. I don't have the strength to pick that up. Please pray my strength in the Lord. Have you ever heard those comments? Why is it that some are strengthened and strong while others are feeble and weak? Why do some have the strength to continue on under adversity while others do not? Eleanor Roosevelt said, "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face." There are going to come those times that you have to overcome fear so that you will be stronger in your walk and relationship with God. John said that if we fear we are not made perfect in love. Isaiah said that the LORD JEHOVAH was his strength and song; and also his salvation. When we know God and worship Him, He gives us strength to carry on. "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Draw your strength from the Lord and you will always be able to go on.

Sing: The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run in to it, and they are safe; The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run in to it, and they are safe. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord, Most High. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be the name of the Lord Most High.

Thought for Today: "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face." Eleanor Roosevelt.

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.
