Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 24 January 2019

Deception

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you”

(Matthew 24:4).

Today’s Morsel: The biggest hindrance to social media is the large number of scams that are being used through it. All over the world people are being scammed. People are being so deceived by gadgets and products that it’s hard to trust anyone any more. Not only are people being deceived through social media, but they are also being deceived by businesses, churches, schools, and even political groups. They are being scammed into thinking that there is no consequence for sin. Or into thinking that they are someone else. But I think that many are finding out that they have been hoodwinked by the enemy of their soul. If one’s outgo is more than their income, they’ve been deceived. Jesus said that you need to be on the alert and not allow it to happen to you. Do you know the real Jesus, or have you been deceived? The way that you will know Truth is to stay in His word.

Sing: Let me walk in the light, in the great gospel light. Let me walk in the gospel light. Till my journey is over and I travel no more. Let me walk in the gospel light.

Thought For Today: Deception always starts with discontentment.

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.
