Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 June 23

“But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons” (Galatians 4:4-5).

Today’s Morsel: Do you feel as though God is taking to long to come through for you? Do you feel like giving up and quitting? I’m sure there are times that some people feel this way. But this feeling isn’t from God, it’s from the enemy of your soul. He wants you to retreat and give up. We see this with Abraham and Sarah. Abraham was 75 when God called him. I’m sure Abraham felt that God was going to do what He said He would do because Abraham left home. In some ways, I feel that Abraham delayed his blessing because he took Lot with him when God told him to leave his kindred and family. So while God waited, he and Sarah tried to help God out because of the delay in the promise. Every Prophet had prophesied to Israel that their Redeemer and Savior would come to deliver them. But because of the delay, they took matters into their own hands; and when He came, they rejected Him. He was not what they wanted to be their deliverer. Somewhat like the children of Belial said of Saul when he was anointed king, “But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace” (1 Samuel 10:27). If we aren’t careful, we too can allow the delay to cause us to reject the Savior or the one whom God sends when He comes. Remember, God isn't on our time, we are on His.

Sing: O’ my brother, are you ready for the call? To crown your Savior King and Lord of all? The kingdoms of this world shall soon before Him fall, we shall see the King when He comes.

We shall see the king. We shall see the king. We shall see the king when he comes. He’s coming in His power, we’ll hail the blessed hour, we shall see the king when He comes.

Thought For Today: Don’t allow God’s seemingly delay to cause you to go against God’s word.

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.
