Grace for your spirit
When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what is was, And Moses said to them, "It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat. Exodus 16:15
For years I called the bread that came down from heaven, manna. I assumed it was the name God gave it to describe the substance of the blessing. In fact, the word manna means, "what is it?" The first morning , they got up and saw the bread like substance, they said what any of us would say; "What is it? I'm not getting near it until I know what it is, where it came from, and what it is for." Once they found out the truth, you would have thought they wouldn't have to keep calling it, "what is it." However the blessing continued to be a mystery. When Jesus became our manna that came down from heaven, they didn't recognize Him either. With Jesus, it's not "what is it"?, but rather "what it is." He IS the way, they truth, and the life.
