WHAT IS IN YOUR HAND?
Exodus 4:1-2

Introduction

Moses was 80 years of age when God asked him this life changing question.  At 40 Moses was in his prime of life and had everything going his way but as you know the story, he threw it all away by taking things into his own hands.  The next 40 years of his life were spent on the back side of nowhere!

In our text in Exodus 4:1-2, God asked Moses a question: “What’s in your hand?”

Moses answered, “Rod…Open the sea!”
