Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 3 August 2019

The Chair

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”

(Revelation 21:5)

Today’s Morsel: Forty-One years ago, I married the love of my life. It all began in a discotheque over a chair. I asked her if I could have the chair at her table. She told me sure, just bring it back when I was finished with it. In other words, get lost. Neither of us knew that God was setting the stage for what would become a life of love, joy, and ministry in His kingdom. As I look back and see how He has taken us around the world, and now back to the same city that we met in, all glory and honor is given to Him. John wrote, “And he that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write for these words are true and faithful.” I wonder if Jesus had something to do with that chair being empty. I believe He did.

Sing: I love you; I love you; I love you. What more can I say, but than I truly love you. And I'll try to live my life, so that it says it too. I love you, I love you, I truly love you.

Thought For Today: Happy Anniversary Darling!

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.
