DAILY READINGS: Joshua 4:1-5:12; Isaiah 1:1-31; Luke 21:5-38
And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. Exodus 4:2
Moses had been commissioned by God for a daunting task, and immediately began to make excuses. God silenced Moses by asking him: “What is that in your hand?” Moses saw an ordinary shepherd’s staff, but, empowered by God it accomplished mighty acts as the “rod of God”. What ordinary things are you overlooking in your life? In God’s hands, the ordinary has the potential to do the extraordinary! —E. V.
Give of your best to the Master,
Give Him first place in your heart;
Give Him first place in your service,
Consecrate every part. —Howard B. Grose
