WHAT IS THAT IN YOUR HAND? We sometimes do not pay attention to some of the small things when we think of big things.

What Is That In Your Hand, Moses? Moses, a meek humble man, who did not think much of himself, nor his ability to do what God has asked him to do. In his hand was a rod. Just a stick, a shepherds crook, a walking stick. This was the only thing that Moses carried into Egypt.

With That Stick: The power of God was shown to Pharoah. The plagues were brought upon Egypt. The waters were divided producing salvation for the Israelites. The waters were returned to their place destroying the Egyptian army. Water was brought forth from a rock. An army was defeated when held high.

What Is That In Your Hand, David? A young lad, shepherd boy, humble and meek. In His hand was a sling. A weapon of children. But when used properly, a very powerful weapon.

With this child: You have a grave responsibility. More than just teaching them to fit into society in an acceptable behavior. To teach them about God and His laws, and the accountability to such laws. To teach them love and respect for all and hatred for none. Truly, the power of God can be seen in a child. Remember Jesus and the child?

What Is That In Your Hand, Christian? The most beloved of God. Those who have put their trust in God and obeyed His commands. In their hand are many things. While we may consider them small, God can consider them great. Let us notice a few things in our hand.

In The Hand Of The Christian: There is the opportunity to lead someone to Christ. There is the responsibility to lead someone to Christ. There is the privilege of leading someone to Christ. We do this by setting a good example. Living what we believe.

What Is That In Your Hand, Non-Christian? Those outside of Christ. Those who have not obeyed the gospel. Those who have not been baptized for the remission of their sins. In your hand, you now have the truth. What will you do with it?

With The Truth Of The Gospel: Will you consider with your mind, the great power of God of the gospel? Will you dedicate yourself to the God of the Bible, and His Son? Will you be saved?
