what is that you have in your hand (Alvin Slaughter)

This song by Alvin Slaughter has always touched me ever since I was young but I never really understood what he meant.

Peter and John on their way to the temple were confronted by an expectant beggar who was begging for something from their hands. Most of the time we assume that beggars want money and food. On that particular day,the Holy Spirit revealed that he wanted something more and accidentally the two apostles didnt have what the beggar was anticipating.Peter said 'Silver and gold we do not have but we will give you what we have. In the name of Jesus arise and walk'.That is a very beautiful story.

When Jesus wanted to feed the five thousand, He asked his disciples what they had and multiplied the two fishes and five loaves of bread. The widow of Zarepath had only small portion of cooking oil and flour to make a meal for herself and her son and wait to die.When she fed the man of God, her reserve never dried up.

The question today is 'what is that you have in your hands?'. Give it to God and He will multiply it for you. what do you have for the society today? Silver and gold you might not have but you can give a smile, a pat on the back, a laugh, a helping hand and tell that person arise and walk.

Be blessed.
