Recently, I was feeling overwhelmed and flustered as to what the next phase of my journey was supposed to be focused on. To be honest, by Yah's grace I had endured and survived some devastating losses. In prayer, I asked Yah, what did He want me to do. The response was familiar. It wasn't a new revelation. I didn't particularly feel empowered, but I knew what it meant. The response was, "Use what's in your hands." Selah......
When Yah called Moses (Moshe) to return to his former stomping grounds to pull rank on Pharaoh, Yah said practically the same thing. What did Moses (Moshe) have in his hands? He had a rod. Just a overgrown stick that served a purpose for a functional shepherd. Yah had him to cast the rod on the ground and Yah revealed that the rod had even more potential than Moses could have ever imagined. You've got to go back and read it. That rod, in the right hands, was the vessel of many miracles that lead to the deliverance of Yasharel. Selah....
And there I prayed... almost chuckling at the thought... and thinking... which thing that's in my hands do You want me to use. Which do I use first? The thought of it still makes me chuckle. Too often, I have succumbed to the thought that I didn't have enough and here I lay before the Most High having to admit that my hands were already full of His gifts. The problem was that I was not in the place to see their true potential. All of the "devastating losses" were environments and relationships where His purpose were overshadowed by my hopes and desires. They weren't bad desires or hopes, they just weren't the proper place where Yah's esteem (glory) could flourish unquestionably. When Moses walked the desert or into the courts of Pharaoh, what appeared to be an old poor shepherd's leaning pole, was actually a weapon of mass destruction to Pharoah.
What's in your hands? I can pretty much guarantee that if Yah put it in your hands that it's WAY more than it looks like. Where does He want you to go with that ordinary thing(s)? What is He going to do with it, when you get there? Who will He deliver by your hands? Who will be brought into His presence because of your humble obedience? When the Most High calls you to account for your stewardship over the little and big things in your hands or realm of influence, will He rejoice over you? Will songs of your obedience empower the generations of the righteous? What will you allow Him to do with your hands? Your hands are for Him...the tools and gifts in your hands are for you to use. We are His workmanship. Will you complain about what you do not have or be faithful and live according to design, being made in His image and likeness, and use what you already have access to... Your Life, Your Word, Your mobility, Your family, Your resources? You have more than enough, right now, to serve Yah and others. Be well children of Yah. What's in Your hands?
