Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2016 April 8

“But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man”
(John 2:24-25).

Today’s Morsel: I have heard people say, “If I had known that they were like that, I would have never trusted them.” Or, “If I had known what I know now, there is no way I would have married them.” One of the things about every person is God knows what is inside of them. This is why we need God to cleanse us and reveal to us what is inside. His word is designed to cleanse us (Psalms 119:9, John 15:3). We also need to read and study His word before we get into a relationship with others. If that person hasn’t asked for God’s cleansing, then we can find ourselves in a mess. If God knows what is in man, then every child of God should have the same gift of spiritual discernment to at least see if others are true or not. It’s not God’s fault if you find yourself in a mess. The quickest way to put your life back together is to return to the word of God and obey it. Try the spirits and see if they be of God.

Sing: Amazing grace, shall always be my song of praise, for it was grace that brought my liberty, I do not know, just why He came to love me so, He looked beyond my faults and saw my need.

Thought For Today: Beauty is only skin deep!

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.
