Exodus 4:2 shows us how God was with Moses, prior to sending him out to accomplish a great work. The previous events of Moses' life would suggest he was a has been and a failure. He should have been living in the most wealthiest nations land. He should have been eating the best of the nations food. He should have been next in line to the throne. He should have been Pharaoh in Egypt. Yet here he is on the back side of a desert, up a mountain, where it is cold and lonely, surrounded by no one, but sheep, and only carrying a stick. No earthly riches to speak of, and food which was scarce at best. No royal seat to sit upon, and his title, "King of the Sheep?"
Yet God still chose him. Not only did He choose Moses, God took what He had, and used it.
God asked him, "What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod."
This rod became the catalyst to many miracles in Egypt and in the wilderness of Sinai. Every account we have of Moses, he is using his rod, to preform miracles, direct armies, and parting seas to create clear passages for God's people.
What do you have, which you believe is only for "tending sheep"? Maybe God has a plan for your "rod" too?
