Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 17 May 2021

Knowing and Not Doing

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)

Today’s Morsel: I am afraid that some folks think that they are going to be able to sneak into heaven and be okay. But Jesus shows us that this isn’t the case when He told the parable of the man that did not have on the correct wedding garments. “So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:10-14) The thing that will take you from being called of God, to being chosen by God is the earnestness of your preparation. They were all invited to the wedding, but the man did not come in with the proper attire. Anytime you hear the gospel message you are being invited to the wedding with the Lamb. But if you do not prepare now, and get on the correct garments, you just might be kicked out. If you have never been baptized in Jesus’ name and received the Holy Ghost, and if you are not living a holy and separated life, you do not have on the correct garments for the wedding. Everyone that has ever heard about Jesus Christ knows that there is an end to this thing. yet none of us knows when. Therefore, be ready.

Sing: Oh, my brother, are you ready for the call, to crown you Savior king and Lord of all. The kingdoms of this world shall soon before Him fall; we shall see the king when He comes.

We shall see the king, we shall see the king, we shall see the king when He comes. He’s coming in His power, we’ll hail the blessed hour. We shall see the King when He comes.

Thought For Today: Do right and you’ll be alright.

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.
