This was God's question to his servant Moses and to us Parishioners.
God had a task to be accomplished. It was a task that called for a total freedom of Israel from the Egyptian bondage. He needed a man and He chose to use Moses.
He then appeared to him in a burning Bush in exodus 3 verse 10.
>“Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.”

Despite the appearance of God to Moses through a burning Bush, he refused to accept God's assignment without complaint.
Moses was just a typical human being like you and me.
Moses complained that he was no match to Pharoah in Exodus 3 verse 11.
>“And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

God assured him that He will be with him.Moses and complained that he has no knowledge of theology to carry out a divine mission such as that in Exodus 3 verse 13.
God gave him more revelation about Himself in Exodus 3 verse 14.
>13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Moses also complained he was not eloquent with words in Exodus 4:10 and the lord said unto him in Exodus 4:11 to 12
>11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.”

He also complained that the people will not believe him but God was patient in dealing with him. God was ready to use a little thing to convince Moses in Exodus 4 vs 2
>“And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.”
King James Bible Version

It was just a shepherd's crook but God chose to use it in Exodus 4: 3-5
>3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

This same rod was called the rod of God because it was used as a medium of miracles in Moses's ministry.
Use what is in your hand now to do God's work, don't wait until you are rich or when you feel the time is right.
The right time is now to do that which God has called you to do and God will see you through.
God bless you.
