Then the Lord said to him,'' what is in your hand?'' ''A staff,'' he replied. The Lord said, '' throw it on the ground.'' Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.
Then the Lord said to him, ''reach out your hand and take it by
the tail.'' So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and
it turned back into a staff in his hand.
A wooden staff, used by shepherds, for walking, guiding his sheep
and killing snakes etc. But God was able to use this shepherd's
wooden staff of Moses as a sign to teach him an important lesson.
We often forget that God has power to use ordinary every day things for extraordinary purposes. He can use our voices, hammers, pens, musical instruments and many more ordinary
things for his purpose, and to teach us to trust in God's power.
Mose had been frightened at the thought of facing the Pharoah
of Egypt. He was panicking at the thought of this, but we must always remember that God will not send or ask us to do something where he has not provided help for us.
It is so easy for us to try and do things on our own merit, but if we
ask God he will give us the power, courage and strength to carry out his work. Little did Moses imagine the power of his shepherds
