Verse from Exodus

“以色列人看见了，就彼此对问说：“这是甚么？”原来他们不知道那是甚么。摩西对他们说：“这就是耶和华赐给你们吃的食物。”

出埃及记 16:15

“When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.”

Exodus 16:15

When the Israelites first encountered God’s bread from heaven, it appeared on the ground outside their tents like frost. “When [they] saw it, they said to each other, ‘What is it?’ ” (v. 15). The Hebrew word man means “what,” so they called it manna. They discovered they could grind it and form it into loaves or cook it in a pot (Num. 11:7-8). Whatever it was, it had a baffling arrival (Ex. 16:4,14), a unique consistency (v. 14), and a short expiration date (vv. 19-20).

Sometimes God provides for us in surprising ways. This reminds us that He is not bound by our expectations, and we can’t predict what He will choose to do. While we wait, focusing on who He is rather than what we think He should do will help us find joy and satisfaction in our relationship with Him.

Dear God, 

please help me to freely accept Your provision and the way You choose to deliver it. 

Thank You for caring for me and meeting my needs. 

Those who let God provide will always be satisfied.
