Ex 4:2-3

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.

NIV

This rod was nothing special of itself, it was just a rod (a stick).  What did God ask him, and more importantly, why did he ask him?

This was God…He already knew…how many know God already knows the answer!!!  AND…if He’s asking…there’s a real good reason….there’s a lesson He has for us.

What was significant about this stick was: It was what Moses had.

Note: God did not ask Moses what he didn’t have.
We could all make a long list if what we don’t have.
*We don’t have enough money
*We don’t have a good education
*We don’t have a high social standing
The list can go on and on
But God never directs our attention to what we don’t have, but to what we do have even though it seems small.

Even though what we have seems, small, weak and insignificant, this is on purpose, because God has designed it so that what we have must be connected to him to work.

The difference is the power of God.
It is not your ability, your knowledge, your talent, or the size of your gift or the beauty of your gift that matters

All that matters is: How much of God is in your stick?
