My view from "The Chair" this morning - Exodus 4:2.   Usually, my eyes glide over simple things as I'm reading, but this morning my eyes and heart have become fixated on this verse and all the implications of it.  God asks a simple question of Moses, "What's in your hand?"  If I had to guess, I would think Moses was thinking to himself, "A stick, really.  All this shepherd's staff really is, is a glorified stick of wood."  I know that's what I would've been thinking.  Yet, God gives him precise directions that involve the stick.  God chooses to use the menial stick in Moses's hand to demonstrate His power. Know what though?
