When God called Moses to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt, Moses was thoroughly overwhelmed. He began to bombard God with questions, concerns, and objections, but God did not say, “Don’t worry, Moses. This is what I’m going to do. I’m going send a plague of frogs and lice and flies. Then I’ll kill the livestock, send boils, hail and locusts, then darkness. I’ll part the Red Sea. I’ll lead you through the wilderness with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.” No. Instead when Moses asked all his frantic questions about how God would deliver His people, God responded with a question of His own. “Moses,” God said, “what is in your hand?” And Moses replied, “A rod.”
Perhaps it’s similar for you. He’s asking you, “What’s in your hand?”
