Charisma ran a short Spirit-led word this morning built on one question God asked Moses at the burning bush: “What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2). Moses had a list of reasons he wasn’t qualified. God didn’t argue with the list. He pointed at a shepherd’s rod Moses had carried for forty years.
The point
God didn’t hand Moses something new. He used what was already there, and that same ordinary stick later stretched over the Red Sea. The writer, Kap Chatfield, hears the modern version of Moses’ excuses all the time: “I’m not an expert yet,” “I’m behind on AI,” “I don’t have a following.”
My take
This one hit home. I’ve spent almost 32 years in networking and security, and it’s easy to feel like that’s just “work stuff.” But that’s my rod. The stories God brought me through, the skills people keep asking about, that’s what the Holy Spirit can use. He also makes a good point about AI: it can carry your voice further, but only if you give it your real story and check the facts yourself. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others” (1 Peter 4:10). So look down. What’s in your hand?
God Bless, and Happy hacking!
