Exodus 4:2-5 teaches us that God can use what is already in our hands, even when it seems ordinary or unimpressive, for His greater purposes. Instead of focusing on what we lack, we can open our hands, surrender what we have to God, and trust Him to use it in ways we never could on our own.

John 10:27 ties the whole week together: the sheep listen to the shepherd's voice, and the clearest place to hear that voice is the Bible—every time you open it, the good shepherd is speaking. The more you read, the more you know the One who already knows you completely, and it turns into a real friendship. And it never stops at your head; his voice leads your feet, following him through school, home, everywhere. The words you read this week don't disappear—they stay tucked in your heart, speaking long after you close the book.
