Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2024 March 4

Read Your Bible Daily

“Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.” (Proverbs 23:12)

Today’s Morsel: The Bible is a book to make you better. It tells us that a soul without knowledge is not good (Proverbs 19:2). In today’s world, you and your loved ones need God’s wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to navigate through the mind fields that Satan is laying before you. From the I-devices we hold in our hands, to the purchasing of produces, we need God’s wisdom. And the Bible has our answers. The problem that most people face in life today is their lack of knowledge and understanding in dealing with what is coming against them. As Daniel said, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” (Daniel 7:25). Think about that verse for a moment and then ask yourself, have I allowed Satan to deceive me? Now days, good is already being called evil, and evil is being called good. Satan is trying to change the times and laws. He’s trying to twist the Word of God so that you will not believe, and you will be confused. He is trying to get you to think that the Bible is not true. He wants you to think that the stories that were written within its pages are fiction. He is trying to gain command and control of your mind so that he can wear you out and control you. But if you read your Bible daily and apply your heart to it, and your ears to the words of knowledge, God will open your understanding and you will prosper and have good success.

Sing: The Lord saved me, tell me why should I be bound? The Lord saved me, tell me why should I be bound? The Lord saved me, tell me why should I be bound, why should I be bound?

Thought For Today: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)

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.
