If you remember the calling story of Moses, you know this encounter had more questions than Jeopardy! Moses and God hurl questions at each other. This question is like the "final question/final answer moment." At the core of Moses there was doubt, fear, and insecurity. He was the king of excuses. Finally, God wants to show Moses who God is. He is the God who could take an ordinary stick and whip the greatest military power in the world at the time. He is the God who could take a simple stick - and craft the most amazing deliverance story the world has ever known. It wasn't about the stick. It wasn't about the hand. It was all about the God. When you have God in your life, you have everything you need for facing the impossible that is before you.  Quit thinking you are not enough! Quit making excuses. Quit doubting God. Just pick up the stick and get after it!

Going Through the Motions - Right Thinking

What Is in Your Hand?

Exodus 4:1-17

Three lessons God is going to teach Moses with the question, "What is in your hand?"

1. Moses, I see your excuses. (Exodus 4:1-3)

"God doesn't need a perfect person to have a perfect plan." - Justin Eshenbaugh

2. Moses, I have never had a doubt in you. (Exodus 4:10-12)

Your thoughts about yourself are not God's thoughts about you.

3. Moses, I can do the incredible with the ordinary. (Exodus 4:2, 17)

God, what could you do with me?
