"And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. And He said, Cast it on the ground.... Thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.... and Moses took the rod of God in his hand" (Exodus 4:2,3,17,20).
Moses had a common rod
Until it was surrendered.
When he gave it back to God,
Behold what it was rendered!
What was once a rod in hand,
Became God's wondrous sign.
Thus we're led to understand,
This principle divine:
Give to God what He first gave;
Cast it down; hold nothing back.
We will lose what we would save,
But in giving, we won't lack.
O the wondrous transformation
When we consecrate to God
What we have, in dedication,
Though it may be just a rod!
