What's in Your Hand?: Using Gifts, Position, and Obedience to Reveal God the World

What's in Your Hand? Using Your Gifts, Position, and Obedience to Reveal God to the World What if everything you need to fulfill God's purpose is already in your hand? Too often, believers spend their lives waiting-for more resources, greater opportunities, or better circumstances-before stepping into the calling God has placed on their lives. But throughout Scripture, God repeatedly chose ordinary people with ordinary tools to accomplish extraordinary purposes. A shepherd's staff. A sling and five smooth stones. An oxgoad. A queen's position. A cupbearer's influence. A prisoner's integrity. A little boy's lunch. In What's in Your Hand?, pastor and author Allen Dickey reveals a powerful Kingdom principle: God is not looking for what you don't have-He is looking for your willingness to surrender what He has already placed in your hand. Rooted in 2 Chronicles 16:9 and supported by powerful Old and New Testament examples, this inspiring book explores how God used Moses, Shamgar, David, Esther, Nehemiah, Gideon, Joseph, the Hebrew boys, and the boy with the five loaves and two fish to reveal His power to individuals, cities, and entire nations. More than a study of biblical characters, this book is a practical guide to discovering how your gifts, talents, position, experiences, and obedience can become instruments through which God reveals Himself to the world. Inside you'll discover how to: - Recognize what God has already placed in your hand. - Stop waiting for perfect circumstances and begin walking in faith today. - Understand how God uses process, pressure, and preparation to shape your purpose. - Turn your gifts, career, influence, and life experiences into opportunities for Kingdom impact. - Live as a daily witness who reflects the character and power of Christ. - Influence your family, community, workplace, and even nations through faithful obedience. - Understand the connection between your personal calling and God's mission to reveal Himself to the world.
