Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 30 January 2019

Wisdom and Understanding

“And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding” (Job 28:28).

Today’s Morsel: One of the things that I learned at an early age was to show respect for God. But as I grew and saw so much wrong before me, I lost that respect and I started to follow the ways of the world and its evil. But thanks be to God who looked beyond my faults, pulled me out, and put me into the ministry. And now it’s my duty and my pleasure to teach others to fear and reverence God. That is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding.

Sing: Aren’t you getting just a bit tired of fooling around? You’re trying to laugh your way through life but you’re not gaining ground. Why not try the Lord today, just ask Him in your heart to stay, and you’ll find Jesus' love to be the best thing that you’ve ever found?

Jesus got a hold of my life and He won't let me go. Jesus got into my heart He got into my soul. I used to be oh so sad, but now I’m happy free and glad, cause Jesus got a hold of my life and He won't let me go.

Thought For Today: Be sure your sin will find you out.

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.
