Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 19 October 2020

The Christian Walk

“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light”

(Colossians 1:10-12)

Today’s Morsel: How we walk says a lot about who we are. If I walk with my head down all the time, people will say that I am depressed or despondent. If I walk with my pants sagging around my buttocks, people will say that I am thug, rebellious, or a rebel. If I walk with a stroll or strut, people will say that I am prideful. Our walk says a lot about who we are. Paul instructs us to walk in the Spirit so that we do not fulfill the lust of our flesh (Galatians 5:16). To walk in the Spirit is to walk according to God’s word and the way that Jesus walked. If we say that we are in the truth, then our walk (our life, actions, and conduct), should reflect that truth. Again, Paul states, “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” How do we walk worthy of the Lord so that we please Him? Well, we know that without faith we cannot please God. Therefore, we must walk by faith in Him; walk after His Spirit, and according to His Word, and in His ordinances; and have our conversation as becoming His Gospel. How are you walking?

Sing: Just to walk with Him, means everything to me. Just to know He's near His hand is leading me. Though the world pass me by go their way, let me be. Just to walk with Him means everything to me.

Thought For Today: Always do everything to please God. Even your walk (Parker).

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.
