Exodus 4:3 "And He said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it."
The very thing which Moses had been carrying all his life, unbeknownst to him, had become consecrated. God revealed Himself and showed Moses, He had been with him all along. Then He basically told Moses, "I know what you have, and I know what you carry." Then He commanded Moses to release it.
When Moses casts his rod upon the ground, it became a serpent, or a symbol of evil. This is why Moses fled from before it, for the bible instructs us to "Flee from evil".
When you release what you have, under God's direction, it will often appear to be evil. You may feel the pain trying to come back, the fear of loosing again, or even the bitter shame of admitting a past failure. However God has a plan. The question is do you trust Him, or what you see?
