What's in Your Hand?

The Schoolhouse and me

"The Lord said to him, 'What is that in your hand?'" (Ex. 4:2)

       Saturday, July 12th, Church of the Highlands will have our traditional "Serve Day" when thousands will go out into our communities and show the love of Christ in real and tangible ways. After asking the Lord how my small group can show His love this year, a devotion by Pastor Larry Stockstill inspired the idea of visiting residents at an assisted living facility and giving them copies of The Schoolhouse. Pastor Stockstill wrote: 

God's miracles always start with the question, What do you have? The little boy with five loaves and two fish provided the only resource for Jesus to bless and feed the five thousand. The widow who fed Elijah during the famine possessed only a little meal and a little oil as a resource. The common thread in both these miracles is that faith was mixed with a few small things offered to God... God asked Moses, 'What do you have in your hand?' (Ex. 4:2) and the rod became the means of Israel's deliverance from Egypt... "

          So, what's in your hand, and how can you use it to show  the  love of Jesus?
