For they did not know\n             what it was. And Moses said to them, ``It is the\n             bread that the LORD has given you to eat.''  (ESV)\n\n        The children of Israel were about to witness a miracle.\n   They had complained to Moses and Aaron about the lack of food and\n   bread, even as they longed to return to the luxuries they\n   remembered in Egypt.  No matter that they were slaves, no matter\n   that they were embarking on a journey of promise, they were\n   unhappy.\n\n        What did God do to provide?\n        In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and\n        in the morning dew lay around the camp.  And when the\n        dew had gone up, there was on the face of the\n        wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on\n        the ground.  When the people of Israel saw it, they\n        said to one another, ``What is it?''  For they did not\n        know what it was. And Moses said to them, ``It is the\n        bread that the LORD has given you to eat.''\n\n\n        We may not recognize God's rich gifts.  The children of\n   Israel called the fine, flake-like thing ``manna,'' literally\n   ``what is it?''  For four decades they ate ``what is it?'' in the\n   wilderness.  Maybe they did not recognize the substance, but it\n   was God's gift to sustain them.\n\n        Do we always recognize God's rich blessings?  How often do\n   we say, ``what is it?'' and look past that which He gives.  When\n   our eyes are blinded by the expectations of this world, do we\n   look past the cross of Jesus asking, ``How is that a blessing to\n   me?''  Yet God comes to us in unexpected and miraculous ways,\n   ways that make us ask, ``What is it?''  It is His love in action.\n\n        May our Lord help us to see His grace, love, and mercy so\n   that we may receive His rich blessings with thanksgiving.
