Use Your Stick

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. —Leviticus 27:32

Exodus 14 tells the story of how Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. They came to the Red Sea, the mountains were on either side and the Egyptians were pursuing. Moses cried out to God, “What are we going to do?”

God said, “What have I put in your hand?” When Moses replied, “Just a stick,” God responded by saying, “Use it!”

It was no ordinary stick that God had put in Moses’ hand. It was anointed. Anything anointed of God has miracle-working power.

Many of you are hemmed in with credit cards on one side, car payments on the other and the bank pursuing—but you have a stick. God says, “Use your stick. Sow the ten dollars of the one hundred dollars you made this week that I have sanctified for your deliverance from financial bondage.”

Use what you have for the Lord. It may not be much, but it will be enough. Little is much in His hands. Whatever the Lord has put into your hand, use it for Him.

Lord, I commit myself to using whatever
You give me for Your purposes and glory
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
