3 WEEK 2 / WHAT S IN YOUR HAND? DAY 2 WRITE OUT THE SCRIPTURE QUESTION FROM EXODUS 4:2 God is asking Moses what is in his hand. All throughout the Bible and still today, God uses people and their resources, gifts, and talents for His glory. The question what is that in your hand? could refer to your own resources, gifts, and talents. With these things in mind, how would you answer this same question if it was asked of you today? What does the Lord tell Moses to do in Exodus 3:10? How does Moses respond (Exodus 3:11)? How was Moses feeling?
