2015 November 6 - Morning Manna

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture"
(John 10:9)

Today's Morsel: I like to watch the expression on peoples' faces when I hold the door open for them and I tell them that I'm just getting in practice for heaven. Jesus said that He was the door. Therefore, none of us can make it to heaven without going through Him. To go through Him, means to be obedient to His word. Remember it was Peter who was given the keys to loose and bind. Therefore, the key that unlocks the door is your faith in Jesus Christ. But to go to heaven requires peace and holiness (Hebrews 12:14), and to be born again of the water and the Spirit (John 3:5; Acts 2:38). Every door carries you into some entrance, but Jesus is the only door that enters into eternal life. So go through now because some day that door will be closed.

Sing: O sinner won't you come today to Calvary, a fountain there is flowing deep and wide; the Saviour now invites you to the waters free, where thirsting souls can be satisfied.

Drinking at the springs of living water, happy now am I, my soul they satisfy; drinking at the springs of living water, O wonderful and bountiful supply.

Thought for Today: Walk through the door while it's open.

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.
