Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2016 April 27

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. (Hebrews 11:39-40)

Today’s Morsel: I am saddened by the number of people who have lost their focus and love for their eternal home. Some of the saddest passages I read in the Bible are those after the spies give their evil report, in Numbers chapters 13 and 14. God tells them that they will not be able to enter the Promised Land because they did not believe Him. Every time I read those passages, I pray, "God don’t let this happen to me. Don't let me lose my focus." The Psalmist tells us that today, if we hear His voice, don't harden our hearts as they did. They did and could not enter into the promise (Psalms 95). I know that sometimes it seems hard when things are coming against us, and it seems that all the world is against us, but we must not lose focus of where we are headed. Always remember that the best is yet to come.

Sing: I’m going to a city there'll be no more night. I’ll going to city where Jesus is the light. The trumpet's gonna sound and I’ll be called away, I’m going to a city someday.

Thought For Today: Eternity is obtained by faith! (Parker)

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.
