Message summary & scripture references
If you are in the startup days of your entrepreneurial calling, don’t worry about saving money for the future (e.g., retirement plans, college funds, etc.). During this temporary startup session, focus on establishing your calling and relying on God for daily provision. Listen to today’s message and explore the Word of God to learn more about this idea.
Exodus 16:2-5 NLT
[2] There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron.
[3] “If only the LORD had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned. “There we sat around pots filled with meat and ate all the bread we wanted. But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.”
[4] Then the LORD said to Moses, “Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you. Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they need for that day. I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.
[5] On the sixth day they will gather food, and when they prepare it, there will be twice as much as usual.”
Exodus 16:17-21 NLT
[17] So the people of Israel did as they were told. Some gathered a lot, some only a little.
[18] But when they measured it out, everyone had just enough. Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough. Each family had just what it needed.
[19] Then Moses told them, “Do not keep any of it until morning.”
[20] But some of them didn’t listen and kept some of it until morning. But by then it was full of maggots and had a terrible smell. Moses was very angry with them.
[21] After this the people gathered the food morning by morning, each family according to its need. And as the sun became hot, the flakes they had not picked up melted and disappeared.
Joshua 5:9-12 NLT
[9] Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the shame of your slavery in Egypt.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
[10] While the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.
[11] The very next day they began to eat unleavened bread and roasted grain harvested from the land.
[12] No manna appeared on the day they first ate from the crops of the land, and it was never seen again. So from that time on the Israelites ate from the crops of Canaan.
