On this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, we step into the heart of the furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Morning Manna - July 9, 2025 - Proverbs 6:12–15 – The Portrait of a Perverse Man

In today’s Morning Manna, we uncover the chilling profile of the one Solomon calls a “perverse man”—a man whose words are twisted, whose actions are subtle, and whose heart is set on sowing division. Proverbs 6:12–15 warns us that not all danger wears a villain’s mask—some plot quietly with gestures, whispers, and deceit. But Scripture assures us: their end is certain, sudden, and without remedy.

Morning Manna - July 7, 2025 - Proverbs 6:6-7 - Consider the Ant and Be Wise

In today’s Morning Manna, we slow down and look closely at one of God’s most underestimated teachers—the ant. Proverbs 6:6–7 reminds us that wisdom isn’t always found in impressive places; sometimes, it crawls right under our feet. The ant has no guide, overseer, or ruler, yet it models diligence, discipline, and initiative. We’ll unpack what it means to live with the kind of quiet, steady responsibility that honors God—without needing constant supervision to do what’s right.

Morning Manna - July 3, 2025 - Proverbs 6:2-5 - Tangled by Your Own Words

In today’s Morning Manna, we continue Solomon’s timeless warning from Proverbs 6:2–5. It’s not always your enemies or circumstances that trap you—sometimes, it’s your own mouth. Hasty promises, unwise commitments, and careless words can create invisible snares that bind your life. But God offers a way of escape. Solomon shows us how humility, urgency, and wisdom can untangle us before it’s too late. If your words have gotten ahead of your wisdom, this lesson is for you.
