What is in Your hand?
Posted : 22 May, 2010 02:37 PM

And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

Exodus 4:2



Often people say, �I can�t be used. If I try to serve in some way, the people won�t respond. If I try to be used at work or in Sunday school, in my neighborhood or in my family, no one will listen. If I try to pray with my wife, she won�t receive from me; that�s for other guys, not me.� But before you fall prey to that kind of thinking, take a look at what is in your hand.



�What�s in your hand?� God asked Moses.



�A shepherd�s rod,� Moses answered.



�That�s what I�ll use,� said God.







�What�s in your hand, Paul?�



�A pen. I�m a scholar.�



�I�ll use that,� said God. �You will write a great portion of My Word.�







�What�s in your hand, Peter?�



�A net. I�m a fisherman.�



�I�ll use that,� said God. �You will be a fisher of men and haul people into the kingdom.�



If you wonder how you can serve God, how you can be used by Him, take a look at what�s in your hand. When you were born, God gave you gifts that are simply waiting to be activated when you become born again. You�re already doing that which He will energize and empower for ministry. What�s in your hand? A computer? A hammer? A basketball? That�s what He will use for His glory.

Five Loaves and Two fishes,



A tent stake and a hammer,



A red rope that I can hang over the wall of the city,



A cruse of oil and a handful of meal



VERY good point here. God wants who you are, not what you think you should be.
