Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2024 July 24

Be Ye Thankful

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” (Colossians 3:15)

Today’s Morsel: No matter what may be happening in the world around you or with you, you can always find something to thank God for. Gratitude shows our appreciation for what God has done, is doing, and will do in our lives. Constant gratitude shows our humility because when we are thankful, we magnify God instead of magnifying our problems. Gratitude gives us proper perspective and opens the door for God’s grace, favor and supernatural empowerment. So what are you grateful for today? Your spouse, family, friends, good health, sound mind, your home, nice car or what about the gift that keeps on giving, eternal life we have in Christ Jesus? As we choose an attitude of constant gratitude, we will experience God’s mercy and lovingkindness in a greater way (This manna was written by one of my soldiers and sent to me who has now dedicated his life to the Lord. SFC Thomas Flowers).

Sing: Thanks, thanks, I give You Thanks, for all You have done. I am so blessed, my soul has found rest, O’ Lord, I give you thanks.

Thought For Today: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” (Romans 1:21)

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.
