" When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?”[e] For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. "(Exodus 16:15)
Have you ever just gotten something and said what is it? You think you're supposed to be pleased, but you'd like to have a clearer understanding of what that thing is.
Sometimes the ability to accept something has to begin with trusting the one who sent it. You can be told what something is, but if it doesn't look like what you expected, you have to then decide about the sender.
Sometimes the gifts God gives us are not as obvious as we'd like. There are times that God's activity in the world seems strange to our own preconceived notions of how things are supposed to be.
In life we will have those "what is it moments." The question is will we patiently wait for the answer.
Blessings,
