What is that in your hand?

 

We look at history and see a myriad of people, an array of individuals that simply were not the typical "hero types" in the eyes of most individuals. In those cracks we can be sure to find God at work bringing His plan to the surface through mistakes and mishaps.  It’s through those miracles and mistakes that we find some of the greatest gems reflecting God’s love for each of us.

Exodus 4:1-5 (NIV)
1 Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”

2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied.

3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 

4 Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.

Sometimes we have to realize that the miracle CANNOT HAPPEN until we release what is in our hand. Therefore, what is in your hand?  Be obedient to God will and you will not regret it.

The cost of obedience is nothing when compared with the cost of disobedience.
