What Do You Have in Your Hand?

In a captivating sermon, a preacher once delved into the profound conversation between God and Moses at the burning bush. Moses, like many of us, found himself listing reasons why he was not qualified for the tasks God had in mind. It’s a familiar scenario—questioning our Creator’s design and struggling to see the potential He sees in us. Ultimately, it all boils down to belief.

God’s question to Moses, “What do you have in your hand?” is a powerful reminder that each of us possesses something unique. Moses, a simple shepherd in the desert, had a staff, and God used that ordinary tool to perform miracles. Similarly, we all have a role to play, along with gifts and talents that are uniquely ours.

The trap lies in comparing our gifts to others and feeling inadequate. Every gift is distinct, and the attention one receives doesn’t diminish the value of another. What matters most is our faithfulness to God. Keeping the perspective that our journey is between us and God helps maintain focus.

When excuses arise, and we doubt our ability to fulfill God’s calling, remember the question: What do you have in your hand? Spending time with God, staying connected, and allowing His Holy Spirit to pour into us reveals the very purpose He has called us to. Embrace your uniqueness, discard comparisons, and move forward in the path that God has uniquely laid out for you.
