Like Moses - called, but feeling unqualified.
Your weakness is not a limitation—it’s where God begins His work.
In difficult times, when our dreams seem shattered, how do we accomplish what God has asked us to do? The assignment can feel far greater than our strength, and the calling may seem bigger than our ability. Have you ever looked at your life and felt inadequate? You are not the first.
When we think of Moses, we often remember a mighty leader, a spiritual giant who brought the Israelites out of captivity. But Moses struggled too. He doubted himself. He felt unqualified. He was even conscious of his own weakness, believing his speech would hold him back. Yet God asked him a simple question: “What is that in your hand?”
In that moment, God showed Moses that success would not depend on what he lacked, but on what God could do with what he already had. The God of heaven can take the little in your hand and make it enough for the purpose He has called you to fulfill.
Today, God asks you the same question: What is in your hand? It may not look like much. It may seem too small, too ordinary, too weak. But placed in God’s hands, it becomes more than enough. He wants to use what you have, lead you where you never imagined, and pour out His blessing and favour on your life so you can walk in the fullness of His purpose. Hallelujah.
“Then the Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’”
Exodus 4:2 (NIV)
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank You for the gift of this new day. I surrender to You all that I am and all that I have. Take control of every part of my life and use me for Your glory. Thank You for equipping me for the journey ahead. I trust Your Word, and I will use what is in my hand, just as Moses did. In Christ’s name, Amen.
I can also turn this into a more emotional, more modern, or more New York Times-style devotional version.
