Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2023 December 1

Evidence

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.” (Jeremiah 32:14)

Today’s Morsel: Has anyone ever just out of the blue walked up to you and asked you if you were a Christian? If so, when you said yes, did you ask them how they knew? What evidence did they tell you that they saw or heard from you that gave you away? You know, there ought to be a lot of evidence that you are a Christian. And one of the major ones ought to be your conduct and character. When Peter was accused of being one of Jesus’ disciples, he tried to deny it. But one of the ladies told him that he was because his speech betrayed him. And so, to deny it due to fear, Peter starts to curse and swear (Mark 14:66-71). If you say that you are a Christian, then there ought to be great evidence in your life, and you should not be ashamed of who you are. Believe me, others are looking for what you have.

Sing: Born-again, there has been a change in me; born-again, just like Jesus said. Born-again, and all because of Calvary, I’m so glad that I’ve been born-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.
