As usual, I went through my usual routine this morning just like every morning. The writing instincts did put me at ease. I was out of a captivating point to write about for a moment. I must say I felt empty to some extent because I didn’t know what to write about.

Just as I was contemplating on what to pen down this morning , an idea stuck my skull and I captioned it ‘Never feel empty.’
At a point in time in the life of a man, one may experience some challenging moments and if care is not taken, one may be quick to see her/himself as worthless. You may have been disappointed for once or a thousands times in your life and that’s a good source of potential empty feeling. Because of your present or past experiences , you think there is nothing you could do and worst of all , you feel useless in your present circumstances.

Let’s make a biblical reference to the story of Moses. From all indications, Moses was destined for greatness and was a man prepared to lead the people of Isreal out of bondage. But when the time came for him to deliver, he felt empty and had a perception of incompetency to lead his people.
When God instructed him to tell Pharaoh and his officials to allow the people of Israel go, Moses out of emptiness said ” What if they don’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘the Lord never appeared to you’?” Here, Moses was in doubt as to how the Leaders of Egypt were going to listen to the message he carried and also believe him. He felt he had nothing to prove to pharoah that he is capable of Leading the people of God out of Egypt until God asked him “What is in your hand?” Moses replied, “A Shepherd’s staff.’

… And with a ‘common shepherd’s staff’ God used Moses to lead His people out of Egypt.
At times we belittle ourselves because we don’t know our worth and the value of our inner possessions. We live on inhibited identities and feel empty of doing more of what we can actually excel at doing.

You are never useless, you were created to influence, control and take dominion over the creations. You carry a will and a force to do something greater than you can imagine. The on justifiable way to feel empty is to die having fufiled your full potentials. Once you have life, you are never empty. Don’t be limited interms of Geography and Space and never for a moment in your life feel empty but when you do, think , analyze and ask yourself this ‘simple’ question, “what is in my hands?”
