Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 8 December 2020

Living on The Hallelujah Side

“Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.” (Exodus 32:26)

Today’s Morsel: Have you ever noticed that some Christians just cannot seem to get the victory over anything that they are going through. They seem to always live on the underside. Why can’t they live on the Hallelujah Side? You know, the side that gives God continuous praise. The side that rises and sings with joy. The side that comes into His presence with thanksgiving in their heart and enters into His courts with praise. To live on the Hallelujah Side, to me, is to know that He has set you on a rock and your head is high above your enemies that are about you. To be on the Hallelujah Side is to know that you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord. Moses said that if you are on the Lord's side then come over to me. Tell me, whose side are you on?

Sing: Once a sinner far from Jesus I was perishing with cold, But the blessed Savior heard me when I cried. Then He threw His robe around me, and He led me to His fold, and I’m living on the Hallelujah Side.

Oh, glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll; help me ring my Savior’s praise far and wide. For I’ve opened up toward heaven all the windows of my soul and I’m living on the Hallelujah Side.

Thought For Today: Get on Jesus' side and you will be just fine.

I have always pondered this. Believe me I could bemoan some situations in my plight. But somehow by the grace of God I can honestly arrive at the conclusion that I am blessed. Sometimes within myself I don't understand why but God chose me for Whatever reason. So I think myself happy!

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.
