Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 November 12

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me”

(John 14:1).

Today’s Morsel: One of the things that I am noticing more and more each day is just how troubled folks really are. There are so many whose minds seem to be troubled about many things. I believe that most peoples' physical problems are caused by their mental state. I believe that if we can get people’s minds clear and stayed on Jesus, they can deal with their physical infirmities. Daniel said that the enemy’s goal is to wear out the saint of the most-high (Daniel 7:25). If Satan can get you to focus on the world and what is taking place in it, he knows that your mind will be troubled and you’ll lose your focus. Therefore, to keep him from defeating you, why don’t you get into the habit of daily prayer, praise, and worship to God. And don’t you worry about the things of the world, let God handle that!

Sing: When I look into Your holiness. When I gaze into to Your loveliness. When all things that surround become shadows in the light of You. When I find the joy of reaching Your heart. When my will becomes enthroned in Your love. And all things that surround become shadows in the light of You.

I worship You. I worship You. The reason I live, is to worship You.

Thought For Today: He’ll keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind on Him.

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.
