Development
As long as man is in the Lord’s hands, he is useful. He serves to support, direct and care for the sheep, among other functions. He is even used to perform feats that are not in his nature, since, when God was going to work, he always told Moses to stretch out his staff and the wonder would happen. Jesus said that his servants would do greater feats than those they saw during his ministry.

Conclusion of Exodus 4:2-3
Now we can choose what we want to be, a blessing in the hands of the Lord or a serpent representing the work of the adversary.
