Exodus 4:2 – “The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.”

As I read, prayed, and pondered the Word, an old saying came to mind: “Another day, another dollar.”   It caused me to reflect on the reality that God is still on the throne and is the I AM, I WAS, and I WILL BE. That opened the door for the Spirit of God to speak clearly to my heart. 

I heard the question, “What more do you need?“    People frequently tell me that great things are going to be done by God’s hand through them WHEN.    The when and the what is a bit vague in those assertions. 

When or What?    Sometimes, it is when their ship comes in. It is when they reach a certain level of success.    It is when this or that transpires.  It is contingent upon something external.   A blessing or windfall or something. 

God’s question of Moses in Exodus 4:2 is revelatory.   Moses was focused on perception, and God asked, “What is in your hand?”  

• What do you have now?  
• What can you do now?
• Who are you now?
• Where are you now?
• Is God limited to something we think will elevate us to a place where we can perform His purposes?

What’s in your hand at this very moment?   What do you have to work with at this moment?   God takes what we have and uses that to bring us to the place of fulfillment He has purposed.   If we tie the fulfillment to something that may be more fantasy than a promise, we limit God and guarantee that we will be waiting to fulfill our destiny when we die.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed.  We have today, and Now is the time.   Therefore, take what you Have, not what you hope to have, and let God use it; He will.   Look at what God did through Moses, who went to Egypt with a staff and a Word.

Take the Word and use what you have. It’s not up to you or based on what you do not have, but on what God can do with what is in your hand.

Procrastination leads to stagnation.   The outflow of the reservoir keeps it alive.  What is in your hand now?   Little is much when God is in it. God will take your seeming little and amaze you if you will trust Him.

What is in your hand Now?

Have a fantastic day, and remember that Sunday is coming!
