They didn't know what it was that God had given them. The word "manna" means "what is it?"
Moses said, "THIS IS the bread GOD gave you."
I want to fully embrace the life God gave me, even when I don't understand what it is or why He gave it to me!
Many days, I don't want to embrace it, and I don't. For some reason, I would rather hew out cisterns of my own rather than drink from the Living Water*. And I'm not a good cistern-maker! Why would I sabotage the life that God gave me?
It's my desire to yield to the God Who loves me and understands me more than anyone. I want to live HIS plan. I want to let Him write my story and stop trying to steal the pen! My best life is HIS life--HIS way!

*For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:13
