Shade Tree Wisdom 4/10/15

          Moses’ father-in-law came to visit, bringing his wife and their two sons along, and he was watching Moses as he spent the day advising people and settling their problems, and his advice:

“What you are doing is not good,

You and the people with you will

Certainly wear yourself out, for the

thing is too heavy for  you”.

(Exodus 18,17),

          So Jethro’s advice was for Moses to get more leaders, teach them the laws, and let them settle minor disputes. Only bring the harder cases  to Moses. That sounded good to Moses, and he spread the leadership load. It was the right thing to do.

          Now here comes a study about church attendance that says the average attendance does not rise above 350, and the main reason for this is lack of needed,

well trained and competent, leadership.

Does that strike a spark? Maybe we often get too remiss in offering our own selves to the work that lies before us all. The work that every Christian surely enjoys so,,                      “Go and Tell, He is Risen indeed.”

May God bless you in the faith as you hare it.
