Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2023 September 6

Clap and Shout

“O’ clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” (Psalms 47:1)

Today’s Morsel: Here in La Crosse, Wisconsin where we live, one of the main streets is Losey Blvd. And there are signs along the street telling the truckers and trains to not break their engines or blow their train horns because of the echo and reverberation can cause damage to people’s homes along the roadway. Reverend Lee Stoneking has done a study on loud noises from a spiritual standpoint, and he says that when we shout, clap our hands, and praise God, it sends a shockwave through the atmosphere, and it gives the devil a headache. So I conclude that if we want to keep the devil at bay, then we ought to start worshipping God with loud shouting and clapping our hands and give the devil a headache and he’ll leave us alone. The first battle that the children of Israel faced when they entered the promised land, was the city of Jericho. They were to walk around the city for six days saying nothing. But on the seventh day, they were to walk around seven times, and when they were given the command to shout, they were to shout, and the wall would come down. And when they shouted, the wall came down just as God had said that it would because of their obedience. Do you have a wall that needs to come down? Seek God for what He will have you do, and if He tells you to shout, then shout.

Sing: Walking around these walls, I thought by now they'd fall, but You have never failed me yet. Waiting for change to come, knowing the battle is won, for You have never failed me yet.

Your promise still stands, great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness, I'm still in Your hands this is my confidence, you’ve never failed me yet.

I've seen You move, You move the mountains, and I believe I'll see You do it again. You made a way, where there was no way, and I believe I'll see You do it again. I've seen You move, You move the mountains, and I believe I'll see You do it again. You made a way, where there was no way,

and I believe I'll see You do it again. I've seen You move, You move the mountains, and I believe I'll see You do it again.

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.
