What’s in your hand?

Exodus 4:2 “And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.”

Moses had no eloquence in his own estimation. Moses felt he had no special reason for others to believe he had an encounter with the God of Abraham Jacob and Isaac. God was only asking for obedience and not for qualifications.

Many times we feel the same way as Moses, not having anything special to bring to God. We may only have a Shepherds staff, but its God who turns our ordinary lives into signs and wonders for the world to see. So Saint of God what is in your hand?

Maybe its a pen to write letters of encouragement. Maybe its a kitchen utensil to bake for the brokenhearted and outcast. Maybe a wrench that becomes your spiritual weapon for the Lord Jesus Christ. Maybe a hammer that becomes your means of doing conquests in God’s name. Maybe you still say there is nothing in your hand to be used, well then your hand itself will become a sign like Moses sticking his hand in his bosom.

It’s our duty to bring and fill the vessels with water (word of God), its God’s duty to turn the water to wine.

You may feel unworthy, not special, or qualified for the task at hand. You may feel no one will believe God has appeared to you. Like Moses, God asks you “what’s in your hand?” God will use your rod as a sign and wonder. It will become proof your God is with you. Use what you have for His glory, obey His voice.
