What’s in Your Hand?

But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The Lord never appeared to you’?”

Then the Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A shepherd’s staff,” Moses replied.

“Throw it down on the ground,” the Lord told him. So Moses threw down the staff, and it turned into a snake! Moses jumped back.

Then the Lord told him, “Reach out and grab its tail.” So Moses reached out and grabbed it, and it turned back into a shepherd’s staff in his hand. (Exodus 4:1-4)

See, you are not the only one who has ever wondered if you are truly equipped to do what God has instructed you to do.  What is in your hand?  How about prayer?  Do you have that?  What about praise?  Are you carrying that with you today?  Let’s see, do you have any worship?  What about faith and obedience?  Can you sprinkle on some commitment and expectation?  Guess what?  You have what you need right there in your hand.  Now it’s up to you how you use it.  Go with full confidence in God’s ability to work in and through you and do what He has called you to do.  You have what you need; it’s in your hand!
