Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2017 March 18

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12).

Today’s Morsel: I believe that if salvation was the number one gadget on the market, most people still would not purchase it. They would go for something else. I often wonder why people do not choose the most important thing for their life? What is it about salvation that people don’t want? Why are so many afraid to be a Christian? Why are so many afraid to say that Jesus is their God yet they are excited that He found and saved them? Jesus never said that you couldn’t have anything else. He simply said that without Him you can do nothing. Have you considered eternity lately?

Sing: Once I was straying in sin’s dark valley, no hope within could I see; they searched thru heaven and found a Savior to save a poor lost soul like me.

O’ what a Savior, O’ hallelujah, His heart was broken on Calvary: His hands were nail scarred, His side was riven, He gave His life-blood for even me.

Thought For Today: Eternity is a long time!

What a Savior, indeed. Thank you so much Jesus for loving and saving me. I would say thank you for 'going out of Your way' to save me, but...that would not make sense, for salvation IS Your way. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen.

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.
