God’s call to a task includes His strength to complete it.

Devotion for the day
Exodus 4:1-5
God’s call to a task includes His strength to complete it.

Picking up a snake by its tail is exactly what God told Moses, Moses who must have encountered snakes in the Midian desert, knew this was unwise.
What was God trying to teach Moses? God wanted him to realize His power and be willing to be used by Him as His messenger. Basically, there was little difference between throwing the rod to the ground and taking the snake by its tail. Both were acts of obedience to the Lord. The lesson was that God was able to use whatever He wanted in order to validate His message to the people through Moses.

What is in our hands? In a sense, our lives are in our hands. We choose whether we’ll squander the hours, days, weeks, months, and years in our own pursuits or if we’ll live an obedient life that’s useful to Almighty God.

Faith and obedience are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God, trusts God; and he that trusts God, obeys God. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892)

We will be surprised at what the Lord will accomplish in us and through us as we obediently do what He asks

So the question I ask you today is. What’s in your hand?

Have a Blessed day
