GOD USES WHAT WE HAVE - MOSES' STORY


GOD USES WHAT WE HAVE - MOSES' STORY

Mose had only a staff in his hand and it was enough for God to do miracles through him. God wants to use what we have to do miracles around us rather than what we don't have. Look to God today and He can use what we have in our hands.

Exodus 4:17 "But take this staff in your hand so you can perform the signs with it.”

Moses needed confirmation from God that he was called to set the Israelites free from slavery and Pharaoh. God told Moses to use the staff in his hands to perform signs and miracles so the Israelite and Pharaoh would believe. Moses threw the staff to the ground and it became a snake (Exodus 4:3). Moses raised his staff over the waters of Egypt and it turned to blood (Exodus 7:19). Moses raised his staff over the streams and canals and ponds and it was covered with frogs (Exodus 8:5), Moses raise his staff and the Red Sea parted (Exodus 14:15) and so on.

Sometime, we think we have nothing to give to God. However, we can use whatever God had given us for His glory. When we use whatever limited things we have, God can multiply it much more. We need to start serving God with all the talents and abilities He has given to us and God will cause it to grow even further. Moses only had a simple staff which he used to take care of sheep for 40 years in the wilderness which God used to performed many miracles.

God is able to use the simple things that we have to do extraordinary things for His glory.
