Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 7 May 2021

Success

“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” (James 1:12)

Today’s Morsel: It has been stated, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed." How many obstacles have you had to overcome to get where you are today? The children of Israel had to wander 40 years in the wilderness before they were able to go into the promised land. James states that the man that endures temptation when he is tried, shall receive a crown of life, which God has promised to all of them that love Him. To reach success it requires ‘u’. If we are not successful in life, or we do not reach success, then it’s because we could not overcome the obstacles in our way and things impede us from reaching our goal. Keep striving to overcome and receive the promises God has given you.

Sing: You’re going to make it, you’re going to make it, you’ve got what it takes to win. And I know that you’re going to make it. I know you are going to make it; just as long as you and Jesus stay friends.

Thought For Today: Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

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.
