INTRODUCTION:
After Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush, the Lord told Moses that he was about to use him to free the nation of Israel from slavery and bring them into their promised land. At eighty years of age, Moses was overwhelmed by the assignment and did not feel that he had what it took to achive this huge task.

Feeling inadequate, Moses asked the Lord, "When I get to Egypt, what do I tell to Pharaoh?" The Lord replied with a question, "WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND?"


LESSON POINTS:
  1. WHAT YOU HAVE IS GOOD ENOUGH - Moses replied to God's question, 'A ROD.' Notice the Lord did not require about something that Moses did not have. He was interested in what Moses had in his hand. Too many people focus on what they don't have and they look right pass what they do have. Many do not see the value in what they already have. From God's point of view, what you have is good enough.
  2. WHAT YOU HAVE QUALIFIES YOU TO BE USED IN A POWERFUL WAY - Moses had an old used well rod. This rod represented his life in the wilderness. There was great possibility that this rod was used in tending animals, used in dangers and a lot more. He held onto his rod as the one possession that he valued in his heart.
        The Lord pointed to the rod and said, "And you shall take 'THIS ROD' in your             hand, with which you shall do many signs." (Exodus 4:17)

         Like Moses, we may not have much, we may not be the most talented but what             you have, has value to the Lord. What you ahve together with what He has si                 more than enough to do mighty tasks.
