Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2016 March 9

Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. (Proverbs 10:12)

Today’s Morsel: Our church theme for February was Christian Soldiers in Love. When we truly understand the love of God, we can understand why it is essential that we keep a strong relationship with Him. He must remain first in all that we do. John wrote that God is love (1 John 4:8). And if we say that we love Him and hate our brother that we are lairs. You see, love covers sin. And hate is sin. Love is willing to forgive you of your sin. Love is willing to turn the other cheek. Love is willing to go out of its way so that you can live. If we love God, then our sins are covered under His blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. His love caused Him to sacrifice for our sins.

Sing: I am covered, covered, covered by His blood, walking in faith, living in love; I am covered, covered, covered by His blood, Jesus has rescued me.

Thought For Today: “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10)

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.
