WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS?
I listened to the inspiring story of a certain immigrant woman who started her sewing career in America with a sewing machine that she picked in a junkyard. Today, she is sewing for kings. She was the person that made the wedding gown of the first daughter of Joni and Marcus Lamb of Daystar Christian Television station in America. Talk about the Almighty God placing a sewing needle in the hands of that dear woman of God.
Exodus 4:2. says, And the Lord said unto him what is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.. Moses had a rod in his hand before the Lord met with him. After his divine encounter with the Lord, a divine rod was exchanged for his shepherd rod. With the rod of God in hand, Moses was granted audience before Pharaoh who was the greatest world leader in their time.
Praying for the people of God before his death, Moses had this to tell the tribe of Judah in Deuteronomy 33:7. It says,… Let his hands be sufficient for him and be thou an help to him from his enemies. What a beautiful prayer point. How about speaking to your hands and declaring that they will be sufficient for you.
I have always loved another scripture that has to do with hands in 1 Thessalonians 4:11. It says, And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business and to work with your own hands as we commanded you. This is a timely counsel especially in this easily distracted world we live in. The scripture above says we should try to do our own business. It encourages us to work with our hands. This is why it is so important to know what the Lord has placed in your hand and to pay an undivided attention to it.
Focus is the game of champions. Determine to focus on what the Lord wants you to do with your life. We are not called to please everybody. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, says the Word of God.
I heard that research has it that people spend an average of five hours daily with their cell phones in hand. Where the Lord placed a rod in the hands of Moses, the world has placed cell phones in our own hands. Useful as our phones are, we should not let them control us. Be diligent with what the Lord has placed in your hands and kings will come looking for you in Jesus name.
