Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2023 September 1

The Attributes of God

“In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.” (Psalms 62:7)

Today’s Morsel: One of the things that I like about scripture is that it allows you to make things personal when it comes to God. It allows you to put yourself right in the scripture. Some folks like to say that God is their personal Savior. Are they saying that they have ownership of God? I don’t think so. But it would be nice if we could. Jesus, who is God manifested in flesh, died for the whole world. However, we ought to have a strong and solid relationship with Him, so that when He speaks, we listen, because we as His sheep ought to know His voice. The more I read scripture, the more my love and understanding of God ought to be. David said, God is my light and my salvation. We can take joy and delight in knowing that God will light our way. God is my strength. I can take comfort in knowing that because He is strength, He will give me strength. God is my refuge. I can take comfort in knowing that He will always protect me. God is my salvation. I can take hope knowing that He will save me. What would you like to take personal gratification in today about God? The psalmist again states, “In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.” That’s a lot to find grace, mercy, and hope in.

Sing: He is my everything, He is my all. He is my everything, both great and small. He gave His life for me, made everything new. He is my everything. Oh, how about you.

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.
