Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 10 May 2021

The Quality of Wisdom

“I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.” (Proverbs 4:11-12)

Today’s Morsel: You know, I have come to realize that when God places His Spirit in us, He gives us everything that we need. Paul tells us that Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God. So when Christ is in us, we have both wisdom and power. Wisdom to make right choices and decisions, avoid danger, and correct our situations. We have the power to stand against evil, to walk away from people, and we have the power to even turn the other cheek. Think about it. As Solomon states, “When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee” (Proverbs 2:10-11) It has been said that “Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.” Think about it, wisdom will prevent us from getting into situations that can cause us harm and danger. So many things came with our salvation. If you do not know what came with yours, you might want to recheck the book.

Sing: Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus, daily let me go; Higher, higher in the school of wisdom, More of grace to know.

O deeper, yet I pray, and higher every day; And wiser, blessed Lord; In Thy precious holy word.

Thought For Today: “Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.”

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.
