Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2024 February 14

A Love Song

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.” (Colossians 3:18-19)

Today’s Morsel: Around the world today folks will celebrate Valentine’s Day. Millions will be spent on candy, flowers, dinners, gifts, and cards to express one’s love. I don’t think that this should be the only day that we express love to the person we have already stated that we love. We should be showing that love in these ways on a continuous basis. But sad to say, we often time stop courting when we’ve been together for a while. We don’t do a lot to keep the vows fresh. The same way that the flowers that you buy are going to wilt away and die, your relationship will do the same if it is not kept attached to the root. Your love for your spouse and children must not be an occasional thing. It must become a habit in your life.

Sing: In moments like these, I sing out a song, I sing out a love song to You, Lord. In moments like these, I lift up my hands, I life up my hands to the Lord. Singing I love you Lord, singing I love You Lord, singing, I love you Lord, I Love you.

Thought For Today: Love for others must become a habit in your life.

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.
