Exodus 4
Signs for Moses
4 Moses answered, What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, The Lord did not appear to you?
2 Then the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand?
A staff, he replied.
3 The Lord said, Throw it on the ground.
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4 Then the Lord said to him, Reach out your hand and take it by the tail. So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5 This, said the Lord, is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathersthe God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacobhas appeared to you.
6 Then the Lord said, Put your hand inside your cloak. So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous[a]it had become as white as snow.
7 Now put it back into your cloak, he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.
8 Then the Lord said, If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. 9 But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.
10 Moses said to the Lord, Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.
11 The Lord said to him, Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.
13 But Moses said, Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.
14 Then the Lords anger burned against Moses and he said, What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. 15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him. 17 But take this staff in your hand so you can perform the signs with it.

Interesting discussion, left that other site, about all the meaning of the staff and its symbols.
One of my former pastors in California rode a Harley and played the bagpipes.
Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.
Whats the difference between a Harley and a set of bagpipes?
Here it comes....
You can TUNE a Harley.
LOL, just kidding.
How about turning your jacket inside out? LOL
The stitches go all the way through the fabric! So the inside is as busy as the outside.
But, yes, many people do just that when entering an establishment that prohibits patches.
LOL. ;)
Amen
Amen to your Beautiful, Powerful Prayer, Dear Servant of the King of kings.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
Amen.
AMEN, joining in prayer
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 108
A Song. A Psalm of David.
1 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;*
I will sing and make melody.
Awake, my soul!*
2 Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
3 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4 For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory be over all the earth.
6 Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,
so that those whom you love may be rescued.
7 God has promised in his sanctuary:*
With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my sceptre.
9 Moab is my wash-basin;
on Edom I hurl my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12 O grant us help against the foe,
for human help is worthless.
13 With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
