Moses was an reluctant leader. It took years for the LORD to draw out
his leadership abilities. But when he allowed the LORD to work, the LORD
did impossible things through him. And the LORD was lifted up in the
eyes of the whole world.
Outline:
Leadership is often about timing: So many times the difference between
success and failure as a leader is the timing of our actions. Good
leaders are sensitive to the direction of the Spirit’s moving.
When we follow the LORD’s direction His power will be there: God often
uses our weakness to show His strength. When this happens people see His
power. He gets the credit for the success. Even though Moses claims an
inability to speak, he speaks.
We need each other: Moses needed Aaron and Hur to hold up his hands as
he got weak. He stepped up to the leadership role the LORD has promised
and he was willing to accept the help of others.
Sometimes those closest to us betray our confidence: We just don’t see
the attack coming. The hurt feelings happen because you trusted them and
they hurt you anyway.
Reflection:
How are you allowing the pain of your past to prevent you from obeying
the LORD today? Who do you need to talk to in order to seek
reconciliation? What is stopping you from doing that today?
