Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 June 12

“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet”

(Psalms 47:1-5)

Today’s Morsel: Someone said that by clapping our hands and shouting we give the devil a headache. If that is the case, then we should clap and shout more to make him have a headache every day; since that seems to be what he likes to do to Christians. Paul told the church at Thessalonica, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). When the ark was lifted up to be carried on the shoulders of the Levites, there went up clapping and shouting. The people rejoiced and blew trumpets. It was noised abroad that the Lord was in the camp. They knew that victory was ahead. This passage may also be understood as a prophetic declaration of the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, as He defeated death, hell, and the grave prior to His ascension. Each time we read that the Lord went up, there was always a victory over the enemy. Because He defeated our enemy for us, we have the victory. So clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.

Sing: I will shout with a voice triumph. Shout with a voice of praise. Shout with a voice triumph. Shout with a voice of praise. Shout to the Lord for the victory; hey, hey, give the Lord a shout of praise. Triumphant in battle, we are victorious. God is Most High over all the earth. Satan's defeated, Jesus has conquered, the enemy is under my feet. So I will shout with a voice of triumph, I will shout with a voice of praise. Shout with a voice triumph. Shout with a voice of praise. Shout to the Lord for the victory; hey, hey, give the Lord a shout of praise.

Thought For Today: Why not give the devil a headache every day (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.
