What's In Your Hand? Exodus 4:1-9

Parents ask a question that prompts an almost universal response in children. You witness a toddler holding a strange item, and you ask, “What’s that in your hand?” A heartbeat later, the toddler takes off running! I remember for Megan, that item was often the television remote; for Connor, it’s more than likely a fork full of food. Either way, ask, “What’s that in your hand?” and the chase is on! There’s no way they’re giving their prize up without a fight! So in Exodus 4, after Moses has given God his excuses for why he cannot be the right choice to lead his people out of Egypt, God asks the same question of Moses. “What’s that in your hand?” But unlike your toddler, Moses is already on the run. He’s out here in the wilderness because he’s run away from his failure and shame. Still, God knows what he’s carrying can be useful. So, what’s in your hand? What are you carrying? When God asks that question, do you run away from him or run to him? Today we’ll look at Moses’ story and hear God’s call for us to run to him and trust him with whatever is in our hands.
