Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2025 October 27

Patience

“In your patience possess ye your souls.” (Luke 21:19)

Today’s Morsel: How many times have you heard that patience is a virtue? While virtues are behaviors that shows high moral standards or qualities that contribute to a good character and a wholesome lifestyle, ‘Patience’ is our ability to wait, endure, and remain calm and unruffled in difficult situations and circumstances. Jesus said that patience must be possessed in our lives if we desire to maintain our souls (my wording). Because things aren’t usually done on our timeline, and trials and troubles will come while we are on this Christian journey, we will need patience to help us remain calm and unruffled while we wait for Jesus to work on our behalf and deliver us from what we may be facing and going through. So yes, we may just possess our souls in our patience.

Sing: Walk with me Lord, walk with me. Walk with me Lord, walk with me. While I’m on this, tedious journey, I want Jesus to walk with me. Be my guide Lord, be my guide. Be my guide Lord, be my guide. While I’m on this, tedious journey, I want Jesus to be my guide.

Thought For Today: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

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.
