God's Ability to Work with What You Have

In Exodus 4:2, God asks Moses a most interesting question in response to what Moses had said: "What is that in your hand?". Clearly, God knew what Moses was holding in his hand. The interesting point here is that God demonstrated his awesome power by taking whatever was available at the moment and using it to resolve an issue and fill a need.

It would be neat to examine the Scriptures and see if there are other scenarios like this. The case of the loaves and fishes comes immediately to mind. It would make a great message to go through those incidents and bring out the power of God, to the end that we trust in him the more.
