Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2018 December 8

“Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts” (Malachi 3:1).

Today’s Morsel: One of the things we learn from scripture is that we must become doers of God’s word and not just hearers. We know that God will come again as the angels told the apostles (Acts 1:10-11). As born-again believers, we have been commissioned to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord (Mark 16:165-18). We are now the voices in the wilderness. We are now the ones that must make straight the highway in the desert for our God. We are now the sons and daughters that must prophesy and prepare His way, to give knowledge of salvation to the people for the remission of their sins. The apostolic message preached by Peter on the Day of Pentecostal hasn’t changed (Acts 2:38-42). It’s the message that we must proclaim and that everyone must hear and obey if they are going to be ready when He comes. Have you received the Holy Ghost since you have believed? Be a doer of the word.

Sing: He’s coming soon, He’s coming soon, with joy we welcome His returning. It may be morn, it may be night or noon, we know He’s coming soon.

Thought For Today: Get ready, Jesus is coming to town.

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.
