Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 4 March 2020

Which Way Are You Looking?

“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.”
(Proverbs 4:25-27)

Today’s Morsel: How many times have you bumped into someone or something because you were not looking where you were going? There are many billboards and bumper stickers that are now telling drivers to drive now and text later due to so many automobile accidents. In other words, pay attention to what you are doing and where you are going. We need to keep our eye on the paths of truth, holiness, and righteousness without turning or looking to the left hand or the right. We must pay attention and pray that God will turn our eyes away from beholding vanity and quicken us in the way. We must set our affections on things above and observe where we are headed. If we lose sight of where we are headed, we are sure to miss the mark.

Sing: On Calvary's hill of sorrow, where sins demands were paid, and rays of hope for tomorrow, across our paths, were laid.

I see a crimson stream of blood, it flows from Calvary. Its waves which reach the throne of God, are sweeping over me.

Thought For Today: Keep an eye on where you are headed, the life you save may be your very own.

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.
