What is in your hand

Frustration often occurs when you feel under supplied for the task ahead. How can God expect you to achieve the vision He has placed in your heart without the tools you need do it?

God’s tools to accomplish a mission are not always the tools we’d expect.

In John chapter six, Jesus asked his disciples to feed five-thousand. You can hear the frustration in Phillip’s voice when he describes their apparent lack of provision. “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone may have a little.” Another speaks up, “We’ve got a two piece fish dinner here, like that’s going to be enough.”

What we often fail to realize is that what we view as insufficient, is often the key to unlock the miracle of God. A two piece fish dinner was the key to feeding the five thousand. The staff in Moses’ hand was the key to unleashing plagues upon the Egyptians and freeing Israel from captivity. David’s sling was the key to winning a war, and a stepping stone to becoming king.

If you want to see God fulfill the visions He’s placed in your heart, stop whining about the lack of provision you think is necessary, and begin to ask God, “What do you want me to use?” The answer might surprise you. It did me.
