Proverbs 21:11 shows how correction works in different hearts. When a scoffer is punished, the simple learn by observing the consequences; when a wise person is instructed, understanding deepens. The verse reveals that some learn through discipline, while others grow through insight. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine the role of accountability, the value of teachability, and how God uses both justice and...

Proverbs 21:9–10 exposes how inner desires shape outer misery. It is better to live alone in the corner of a roof than to share a house filled with constant strife, for the contentious spirit poisons every space it inhabits. The wicked soul does not merely stumble into evil—it craves it and shows no mercy to its neighbor. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine how unchecked desire breeds conflict, why peace i...

Proverbs 21:7–8 contrasts the self-destructive nature of wickedness with the clarity of a pure life. The violence of the wicked drags them down because they refuse to act justly, while the path of the guilty is twisted and unstable. In contrast, the conduct of the pure is upright and transparent before God. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine how injustice ultimately consumes those who practice it, why mor...

In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, the focus turns to John 6:49, where Jesus contrasts the manna eaten by Israel in the wilderness with the life He alone provides. Though their fathers ate manna and still died, Christ reveals that temporary provision can never produce eternal life. The verse exposes the danger of trusting in past religious experiences or outward provision while missing the living Bread standing before t...

Proverbs 21:4–6 exposes the inner corruption that often hides behind outward success. A proud heart, haughty eyes, and self-exalting ambition are not neutral traits—they are sin before the Lord. What appears productive or enlightened can still be rooted in arrogance and deceit. The passage then warns that wealth gained through lying tongues is fleeting, driven by vanity, and ultimately leads toward death. In today’s Morning Manna, ...

Proverbs 21:1–3 reveals God’s sovereign rule over authority, morality, and worship. Even the heart of a king is like channels of water in the Lord’s hand—directed wherever He wills. While human ways may seem right in their own eyes, the Lord weighs the heart with perfect judgment. True devotion is not found merely in sacrifice or religious activity, but in righteousness and justice, which delight God more than offerings. In today’s...

Proverbs 20:28–30 draws together themes of leadership, maturity, and discipline. Mercy and truth preserve a king, and his throne is upheld not by force but by steadfast love and faithfulness. Strength marks the glory of the young, while gray hair reflects the honor of age. The passage concludes with a sobering reminder that correction is often painful—stripes and wounds cleanse away evil and reach the depths of the heart. In today’...

Proverbs 20:26–27 reveals how God deals with both leadership and the human heart. A wise king separates the wicked and brings judgment with discernment, even employing the crushing wheel to expose and restrain evil—an image of decisive and sobering justice. At the same time, the spirit of man is described as the lamp of the Lord, searched and examined by God down to the deepest places within. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles an...

In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, the focus centers on John 6:47–48, where Jesus makes one of His clearest and most powerful declarations: “He who believes in Me has everlasting life… I am the bread of life.” Eternal life is not earned through works or rituals but received through belief in Christ alone. Just as bread sustains physical life, Jesus alone sustains spiritual life. Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore what ...

Proverbs 20:25 warns of the danger in making careless vows and then reflecting after the promise is spoken. To dedicate something hastily and only later consider the cost is a snare that entangles the soul. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine the seriousness of words spoken before God, the wisdom of thoughtful commitment, and why reverence requires restraint before making promises we may struggle to keep. ...

Proverbs 20:23–24 joins two powerful truths about God’s authority over life. Dishonest weights and measures are an abomination to the Lord, revealing His deep concern for integrity in everyday dealings. At the same time, a person’s steps are ordered by the Lord, reminding us that human understanding is limited and dependent on divine direction. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how honesty reflects rever...

Proverbs 20:22 calls God’s people away from personal vengeance and toward patient trust. Instead of repaying evil with evil, wisdom commands restraint and confidence in the Lord’s justice. God alone sees fully, judges rightly, and delivers at the proper time. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore why retaliation corrupts the heart, how waiting on the Lord protects the soul, and why true victory belongs to th...

In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, the focus turns to John 6:38–39, where Jesus раскрыs the harmony between the Father’s saving purpose and the believer’s response of faith. Christ declares that He came not to do His own will, but the will of the Father—who gives, draws, and secures all who come to the Son. This passage holds together God’s sovereign plan to save through Christ and the human call to believe, showing tha...

Proverbs 20:16–18 offers sobering wisdom about responsibility, discernment, and decision-making. Taking security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt warns against careless financial entanglements. Plans are established through counsel, and success is not found in impulse but in wise guidance and deliberate action. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore why wisdom avoids unnecessary risk, how godly c...

Proverbs 20:13–15 contrasts diligence with desire and appearance with reality. Loving sleep leads to poverty, but staying alert and industrious brings provision. Fine words about gold and jewels are common, yet lips guided by knowledge are rarer and far more valuable. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how discipline produces blessing, why spiritual alertness matters, and how true worth is found not in po...

Proverbs 20:10–12 reveals the Lord’s concern for justice, integrity, and spiritual awareness. Dishonest weights and measures are an abomination to God, exposing how corruption often hides behind everyday transactions. Yet the passage also reminds us that the Lord Himself fashioned the hearing ear and the seeing eye—nothing escapes His notice. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine how God measures fairness, w...

Proverbs 20:7–9 highlights the blessing that flows from integrity and the sobering limits of human righteousness. The just man walks in uprightness, leaving a legacy of blessing for his children. Yet the passage ends with a penetrating question: who can truly say they have cleansed their own heart or stand free from sin? In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore how integrity shapes generations, why moral self-c...

In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, the focus centers on John 6:34–37, where Jesus moves the crowd from desire for provision to revelation of His identity. When they ask for bread, He declares Himself to be the Bread of Life—the only source of lasting satisfaction. Those who come to Him will never hunger, and those who believe will never thirst. Even more, Jesus anchors salvation in the will of the Father, assuring that ...

Proverbs 20:4–6 exposes three common failures that undermine wisdom: excuses that avoid responsibility, expectations that ignore preparation, and words that promise more than character can deliver. The sluggard refuses to labor when the season demands it and later wonders why he has nothing. Many proclaim their own loyalty, yet a truly faithful person is hard to find. In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine th...
