S – “What you’re doing is not good,” Moses’s father-in-law said to him. ¹⁸ “You will certainly wear out both yourself and these people who are with you, because the task is too heavy for you. You can’t do it alone.

Exodus 18:17–18 CSB

O – Moses was judging all the disputes himself.  It was tiring and ineffective.

A – This is a common thought in us.  We can do it ourselves.  With all your gifts and talents, you cannot do it alone.  You must raise up leaders and develop a strategy that will effectively take care of those you are responsible for daily.  My dad would love this story – it is common sense.  Keep it simple and invite the Lord into the process.

R – Lord, there are problems I will face today where I put the burden on myself that only I can fix it or be the solution.  Give me wisdom to know what is mine to carry.  Help me also see when others can use their leadership to shoulder that burden with me.  We is better than me.  Help me to not walk in pride and ego which prevents me from inviting others to lead with me.
