What's in Your Hand?

A great Palm Sunday as I blessed the church with these edifying words.

-You aren't able.
-You aren't smart enough.
-You don't have the resources.
-You don't have enough money.

But that's OK. God is more than enough. What's in your hand?

On the road to Jerusalem that day the people had no idea what the coming week held. But they did have a donkey colt, cloaks, and palm branches. And as they offered up what they had, prophecy was fulfilled and the whole city was stirred.

In Exodus God was looking for Moses to lead the people out of slavery. Moses had excuse after excuse and God asks him, "What's that in your hand?" It's a simple staff but God turns it into a snake and then Moses carries the staff throughout the exodus as God does the impossible time and time again.

Abraham and Sarah were too old to have kids.
Joseph can't interpret dreams.
Moses can't speak well.
There were only 2 fish and 5 loaves.
Paul is a persecutor of the church.
Peter is a coward and Thomas a doubter.

How many believers lived stunted lives always waiting for the perfect time, when they have enough, until they are fully able? And all the time God is asking, "What's in your hand?" So take a look around you this week, see what's in your hand, and then trust God for the impossible.
What's in your hand?

Be Refreshed!

Proverb of the Day: Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Scripture of the Day: Exodus 4:2-4 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. 4 Then the LORD said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail." So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
