I recently heard some fantastic advice as I watched a video from Liberty University Seminary.
Dr. Dave Hirschman was speaking and his reference was Exodus 4 when Moses was called by God and felt inadequate, saying he only had his staff.
It is true, Moses only had a stick, but as we know, God used that stick to free his people, to help them cross the Red Sea, and to give them clean drinking water. Dr. Hirschman pointed out 3 principles that allow us to be used by God:
- God will use what we make available.
- God will transform what we make available.
- God will prove himself through what we make available.
So, as you seek what God wants from your life, or maybe you just want to experience God’s work in your life. Ask yourself if you are fully available to Him…if you have made everything available to Him. He may want to use what you see as an old stick for something so amazing, so life transforming. If you feel inadequate, take courage that God will transform whatever you have to offer and use it for His work…that is our purpose; that is your purpose. Make yourself available and watch Him do great things!
