Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2023 March 3

Is Jesus Enough

“The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.” (Proverbs 30:15-16)

Today’s Morsel: Do you ever think about what it must have felt like for Adam and Eve to be driven from the Garden of Eden by God for their disobedience? Why do you think that with every tree in the garden that was good for food, they couldn’t resist the one that God instructed them not to partake from? I know that Satan tempted Eve, the same way that he tempts us, and she ate, but when is enough, enough? Jesus is the tree of life and that tree sat right in the middle of the garden. It had no limit on how much from it they could eat. The other trees as well. Only the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden. Solomon states that there are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not that it is enough: The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, it is enough. Is Jesus enough for you, or are you still craving for something more? Is the world tugging at your heart telling you that there is more? When is enough, enough? Friend, if Jesus isn’t enough, you will never be content or satisfied.

Sing: My God is more than enough, He can supply all my needs, He is my El Shaddai, He always looks out for me. Jehovah Jireh, He is my God; Jehovah Jireh, He is my God.

All of the earth is His, and the fullness thereof, everything that I need, you can be sure of. Jehovah Jireh, He is my God; Jehovah Jireh, He is my God.

So why should I worry, ‘bout the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs; When by my faith I know, my God is more than enough, He can supply all needs, He is my El Shaddai, He always looks out for me. Jehovah Jireh, He is my God; Jehovah Jireh, He is my God.

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.
