Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 15 August 2019

Salvation Is of The Lord

“But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.” (Jonah 2:9)

Today’s Morsel: What comes to your mind when you think about salvation? Many people say that they are saved and born-again, but their life and actions speak a different meaning. Have you ever had anyone ask you if you are saved? How did you feel when they asked you? Were you surprised? Did you do a self-examination? It’s not uncommon around the church for someone to ask you if you are saved. The gospel is about salvation. It’s the price Jesus paid that we might be saved. Salvation belongs to Jesus. He is the Lord. It is all His; all belongs to Him so that none can share in bestowing it; none can have any hope but from Him. What a message. Peter said, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”(Acts 4:12) We should be thankful every time someone asks us if we are saved. Either we are or we aren’t, there is no in-between.

Sing: Saved! Saved! I’m happy on my way. Saved! Saved! Saved, I love Him more each day. Saved! Saved! Saved, I know He’s mine each hour, for He saves and He keeps satisfied by His Power.

Thought For Today: What day were you born-again?

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.
