Grandma Hattie lived to 104. She loved to say, “What is that in thine hand?" - pointing to the moment where Moses discovered that his shepherd’s rod could do things he’d never imagined (Ex4:2). Today, Hattie’s favorite phrase reminds me how we’re each given our own unique dominions. What we have in our hands is often a minor theme. What we do with what's in our hand - this is a major theme. Whether we believe we can (grow by stewarding what we have in our hands) - or whether we believe we can't – we’re right. Let's look at ‘what we've been given’ as one of the best platforms for us each to grow us into better versions of us.
