Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 May 14

“Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Timothy 2:22).

Today’s Morsel: One of the things that I find about Joseph is he was a man of great character. Scripture doesn’t tell me that, but somewhere Joseph understood that God was a righteous God and that sin must be avoided at all cost. Even when he was tempted by Potiphar’s wife to lie with her, Joseph refused and ran away. And because he ran away, he was accused by Potiphar’s wife and found himself in prison, but God was with him. Paul told Timothy to flee youthful lust. Not only should we flee lusts of uncleanness, lasciviousness, filthiness, follies, and vanities; we should flee such lusts as come against the ministers of the Gospel, such as vain glory, popular applause, seeking the pre-eminence, and contentions and contempt of others. We must have a heart like Joseph and flee. We must have a heart like Daniel and pray. We must have a heart like David and worship. Don’t ever be afraid to run from wrong and evil.

Sing: Running for my life, I’m running for my life. Running for my life, I’m running for my life. If anybody asks you, what’s the matter with me, tell them I’m saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled, water baptized. I've got Jesus on my side and I'm running for my life.

Thought For Today: Flee youthful lust!

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.
