As Moses looked into the holy land, not being able to enter it, he had many memories.
One of them may have been the words found in Exodus 4:4 when he first started to
realize that with God he could do miraculous things. God had given him the miracle-
producing "staff" and said, "Reach out your hand and seize it by the tail" (Exodus 4:4).
Little did he know that hundreds of years later it would be used by a leader, W.
McKindly. As he spoke, he had his back to an open door and a large black cat walked,
uninvited, into the chapel service. Just as one of the staff reached out to pick up the cat,
he read his text, which was Exodus 4:4: "Reach out your hand and seize it by the tail."
There have been many times in my ministry, when God told me to reach out to help
someone in need.
