In this episode of Sacred Garden, Moses steps into his calling, still trembling but obedient. Before Pharaoh, the shepherd's staff becomes the staff of power, first transforming before the court, then turning the Nile to blood. It's the beginning of the Lord's mighty works in Egypt, when divine authority flows through human hands.
Together, we reflect on what it means to move from hesitation to faith, trusting that when the Lord sends us, he also equips us.
