What's That You Have In Your Hand?

This is what God said to Moses (Exodus 4:2) to demonstrate that he can use anything to show his Godness, His power, and His sovereignty. Moses was hesitant to do the task he was being called to, and God just wanted to let him know that he was not alone; that with Him, Moses could do what he was being called to do. We all know the story of Moses, how he led the Israelites out of Egypt. He's hailed as a hero but he started off very timid and got bolder as he saw how God worked. God doesn't need much to accomplish his purpose.
This song encapsulates what God can do with a little.

That's When He Steps In - by Alvin Slaughter

When we have a work to do

And the task ahead seems bigger than you

That's when He steps in

When you know in your heart that 

God's command takes more than can be done by man

That's when He steps in

He sees you at the point of your need

He sees you at the point of crossing your Red Sea

In the moment you call

When you've given your all

He steps in, He steps in

And He'll say

What's that you have in your hand

I can use it, if you're willing to lose it

Take the little you have and make it grand

I am El Shaddai and I'll more than supply your need

When all you have is oil in a jar

That's a reflection of where you are

That's when He steps in

A little boy's lunch of fish and bread

Is all you have for the need ahead

That's when He steps in

Let Him take it and bless it and break it and give it

He'll multiply it in the moment you live it

And in the moment you call

When you've given your all

He steps in, He steps in

And He'll say

What's that you have in your hand

I can use it, if you're willing to lose it

Take the little you have and make it grand

I am El Shaddai and I'll more than supply your need

(Repeat Chorus)


Are you willing to be used or are you hesitant like Moses? Is there something in your hand that God can use?
