Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2016 March 7

And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. (Exodus 31:18).

​​
Today’s MorselThere hav​e​ been some very beautiful art painted with the finger of man. When I was in elementary school, part of our art class was doing drawings and paintings​ with our fingers. There have been lessons developed on how to pray using your fingers. For example, the thumb which is the closes​t​ to you, should encourage you to pray for those closest to you, like your family and loved one​s​. Your pointer finger, for those who have pointed you in the right way, such as your​ pastor and​ mentors. The middle finger, ​which is your tallest finger reminds you to pray ​for your leadership. Your ring finger, which is the weak​est​ finger​, reminds you to pray​ for those that are weak and feeble. And then your pinky​ finger​, which ​is the smallest finger, represents you, ​and at the end you ​pray for yourself​ and your needs​.  When the woman which was taken in adultery was cast before Jesus, scripture says that Jesus sat and wrote with ​His finger on the ground, as though ​He ​had not ​heard them talking to him (John 8:1-11). Many have wondered what ​He may have written. When they accused ​Him of casting out devils by the spirit of Beelzebub, He told them, “And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you” (Luke 11:19-20). 
​ ​Even 
​the finger of ​God is stronger than Satan.
​ ​ Moses received the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God on tables of stone. And today 
​God 
desire​s​ to ​write ​them upon the table of your heart with the same finger.

Sing: Hold to God​'​s unchanging hand. Hold to God​'​s unchanging hand, build your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God​'​s unchanging hand.


Thought ​F​or Today: ​ Are you using your finger to point someone in the ​right
 direction?
