Archived Daily Manna | Rejoice Fellowship | A mission to release people to rejoice in the world.

Dear Friend,

If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning.

Message: God is in control. He is not sitting back watching the world but actively accomplishing His plan for creation. When you look at all the problems the world is facing, it’s easy to let fear fill your heart. No matter how much nations talk, war often seems inevitable. Unknown pathogens, corruption, and crime make it easy to wonder if God is really in control. Before creation began, God had a master plan for this universe. He didn’t just wind up creation like an old clock, then sit back to watch it run down. God has been moving the world forward from the beginning to His conclusion. We may not understand why God allows one nation to prosper and another to fail. We can’t imagine why He allows evil empires to exist, but He is in control.  Proverbs 21:1 says that God holds the king’s heart in His hand, and He directs it according to His will. A ruler may have incredible power and seem to be in absolute control of his country, but God still controls his heart. God moves Him as needed to accomplish His plan. A leader may declare his independence from God, but that doesn’t stop God from working. Nothing happens in this world that God has not given His stamp of approval. Nothing happens in your life that God hasn’t approved. Just as God accomplishes His master plan in the world, He is accomplishing His master plan in you. You may not see it, but God is fulfilling His perfect will for you. He takes pleasure in bringing about His good plan in your life. If your heart is full of fear or worries about the future, relax; God has things under control. If you are overwhelmed by the direction the world seems to be going, remember God is fulfilling His master plan for creation. If you have fear and doubts about your future, remember that God is accomplishing His master plan in your life. Look at that verse again.
