Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2025 September 5

The Truth Leads You to Truth

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” (John 16:13)

Today’s Morsel: One of the things about truth is that it leads you into more truth. Truth is unchanging. Truth helps you identify truth from error. Truth, Jesus said, will make you free. Truth is not temporary. It’s everlasting. You can’t say that you know truth and not love, live, and abide in truth. Well, you can, but it will be to your own detriment. That’s why I have trouble with those who say that they are in truth, and then they walk away from what they said was truth, taught others that they were in truth, and yet they go away from what they said and taught was the truth. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) Jesus said that when the Spirit of truth, which is His Spirit (the Holy Ghost), comes, it will guide you into all truth. Because Jesus is the truth (John 14:6), and the Word (John 1:14), He’s not going to lead you into error. He’s going to open your understanding and lead you to more truth. Truth does not take you from truth, it brings you to truth. Are you living and walking in truth?

Sing: Farther along we’ll know all about it. Farther along we’ll understand why. Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine. We’ll understand it, all by and by.

Thought For Today: “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17)

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.
