Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2017 March 20

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus

throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:17-21).

Today’s Morsel: A call for keeping our heart pure is a command throughout scripture. Jesus said that the pure in heart shall see God. Paul told the church at Ephesus that he prayed that Christ may dwell in their hearts by faith, and that they would be rooted and grounded in love and to be able to know all about the love of Christ. If we really want to know about His love, then we must search the scriptures to find it (John 5:39-40). Not until we know the depths of His love can we understand the height of His ability to do things through us. Knowing Him fully requires a pure heart.

Sing: Our God is able to deliver thee. He is able to deliver thee, He is able to deliver thee; Though by sin oppressed, go to Him for rest. Our God is able to deliver thee.

Thought For Today: There is nothing too hard for God.

Lord, I ask for miracle emotions and senses today, that I may reach that person for whom You are reaching. I bind the spirit of perversion and loose the Spirit or purity. Rule in my heart, oh God.

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.
