Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Exodus 16

Highlight Verse:

“On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much as usual—four quarts for each person instead of two. Then all the leaders of the community came and asked Moses for an explanation.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

At this point, the people of Israel had worked every day for their entire lives.

There was no Sabbath for them in Egypt.

But God called for their lives to be radically different.

In addition to trusting God to lead them through the wilderness, they had to trust God to provide for them through a day of rest every week.

To those of us with a 5-day work week, a day of rest seems normal.

To them it was a new concept.

While we are used to the concept of weekends, sometimes God calls us to step out in radical faith.

Just like God provided extra Manna on the sixth day,

God will provide for your needs when you step into His calling.

When God called me to go to Bible College, He provided the opportunity for me to start a business that provided my living expenses while giving me the flexibility to attend classes and assignments.

It was hard work, but God always provided.

Has God provided for you when He called you to step out in faith? Please share.
Is there something God has called you to do but you have hesitated because of fear of failure (financially or otherwise)? What would it take for you to follow His call?
