Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 November 27

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18).

Today’s Morsel: One of the things about the word ‘love’ is it is an action word. It requires you to take action or to do something. Love must be displayed and shown from the person who says that they have it in them. I can tell you that I love you. But if I never do anything to show it, you are not going to believe me. Jesus said by our love would men know that we were His disciples. Not by our words, but by our actions. Someone said if you love me, show me that you care. Paul said that our love must be without dissimulation. It must not be hidden or concealed. Show others you care by showing them the love of Jesus.

Sing: It only takes a spark to get the fire going. And soon you look around and the flame is glowing. That’s how it is with God’s love, once you experience it. It’s fresh like spring, you want to sing, you’ll want to pass it on.

Thought For Today: Let brotherly love continue.

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.
