We keep waiting for something new—a breakthrough, a windfall, a miracle that drops from somewhere “out there.”
We focus on what we lack: not enough money, not enough skill, not enough influence. And we assume that the solution must be something massive and external.

But God asks a different question.

“What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2)

When Moses stood trembling before a national crisis, God didn’t hand him a sword, an army, or a strategy deck. He simply took the ordinary shepherd’s rod—the same stick Moses had used for decades—and consecrated it. It was once called the rod of Moses, but after Moses placed it in God’s hands, Scripture calls it the rod of God. Every miracle flowed through what Moses already possessed.

There’s a pattern here:

Consecrate what you already have.

What you dedicate becomes different. A gift in your hands is ordinary. The same gift in God’s hands becomes holy, multiplied, and aligned for His glory.
The question isn’t whether you have enough—it's whether you’ve placed it where it belongs.

Abundance lives on the other side of surrender.

Peter had a business failure on his hands: “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing.” (Luke 5:5)
But then he let Jesus use his boat—his workplace, his asset, his livelihood—as a platform to preach.
The same boat that failed became the boat that overflowed.
So full the nets tore. So heavy the catch that the vessel began to sink.

That’s not normal productivity. That’s supernatural provision. Enough to erase debts. Enough to reverse the story. Enough to bypass the logic of any earthly financial system.

The limit is never on God’s side.

A widow drowning in debt followed a simple instruction:
“Go, borrow vessels… borrow not a few.” (2 Kings 4:3)
She poured what little oil she had, and it kept flowing—supernaturally—until every last borrowed vessel was full.
And then it stopped.
Not because God ran out.
Because she did.

Preparation and faith determine capacity.
We are often praying for overflow while presenting God a teacup.

When God asks, “What is in your hand?”, He isn’t looking for brilliance, leverage, or status.
Just willingness.
Just surrender.
Just the courage to believe that the ordinary you carry can become extraordinary once it’s His.
