Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Exodus 17-18

Highlight Verse:

““You’re going to wear yourself out—and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭18‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

And now for a bit of business advice from the Bible.

This is courtesy of Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, who brought sage advice when he visited Moses and Israel in the wilderness.

In a word – delegate.

We weren’t designed to carry everyone’s burdens and responsibilities by ourselves. We were meant to live in community.

The leaders of the community do well to share the leadership to the extent that they do not get burned out and so that proper attention be given to details.

This worked quite well for Moses.

I admit that I am one of those who would rather just do it all myself.

God’s best includes working with the whole community.

Do you have the tendency to want to do everything yourself?
Have you been able to delegate unimportant tasks so you can and concentrate on the most important?
