Exodus
4:2–3
So the
Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” And He said,
“Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a
serpent; and Moses fled from it.

God wants to take the natural things in your life
and make them supernaturally blessed. He does this by asking you to give Him
what you already have in the natural, and He will do the supernatural.
That is why the Lord told Moses to cast his rod on
the ground. And when Moses cast his rod on the ground, which represents him
giving the rod to the Lord, that same rod became the rod of God. With that rod,
the Red Sea was opened. (Exodus 14:16) And when that rod was used to hit a
rock, water flowed out of the rock. (Exodus 17:5–6) It was no longer a natural
rod, but the supernatural rod of God!
But why did the rod become a serpent when Moses
cast it to the ground?
Moses never realized that there was a “snake” in
his rod. You see, because of the fall of man, there is a touch of the curse—a
snake—in every natural thing, including your career, natural strength, talents
and ministry.
So how do you deal with the “snake” that is in all
the natural things in your life?
First, cast it to the Lord. Then, do what the Lord
told Moses next: “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail”. (Exodus 4:4)
Now, it could be fatal to take a snake by its tail
because it can easily turn its head around and bite you. So why did God say
that?
When you take it by the tail, God will take the
head! He wants you to let Him handle the head, and not grab it or hold on to it
tightly in fear or self-effort. That is how you see your career, strength,
talents and ministry supernaturally blessed.
Beloved, there is a snake, a touch of the curse, in
everything in the natural. But give what is natural to the Lord and see the
touch of the curse replaced with the supernatural touch of God!
Thought For
The Day
Give what is natural to the Lord and He will make
it supernaturally blessed.
