Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2026 June 22

Listen To The Word of God

“Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.” (Ezekiel 37:4)

Today’s Morsel: If you are lacking in faith, Paul tells us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Ezekiel found himself being placed by God in the midst of a valley of dead dry bones. And the Lord tells him to prophesy to those bones, and to tell them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Many today are suffering from dry bone syndrome because they are not listening to the word of the Lord. The dry bone syndrome is those who can’t seem to find any satisfaction. They are the ones who are running to and fro, trying to find peace and joy but afterwards only finding themselves returning right back to the same location they left just as discontented as they were before they left. If you are one of those that fall into this category, then you must hear and heed the word of the Lord. His word gives life. His word brings peace. His word will satisfy your need for every situation and circumstance. Jesus Christ is the word (John 1:1;14), and He is the only one that can give you true contentment, peace, joy, and satisfy your soul.

Sing: For only Jesus can satisfy, your soul, and only He can change your heart and make it whole: He’ll give you peace you never knew, sweet love and joy and heaven, too; For only Jesus can satisfy your soul!

Thought For Today: Don’t allow the gloom, despair, and agony on me bug get into your heart.

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.
