Leader Devo
I sometimes feel bad for Moses. As someone in ministry, I’m sure you understand why. I mean, this poor guy was just trying to be a shepherd in Midian and the next thing he knows, he’s pastoring thousands of people in the desert with no apparent destination in mind.
I’m quite sure Moses faced a daily onslaught of questions, concerns, ideas, and inquiries, and I’m sure he was exhausted.
I’m sure of that because Moses was human. And so are we. Each one of us. We get tired. We don’t always have the answers.
In these situations, what are we to do? I love what Moses did. He went to God. He didn’t go in some pious or religious way. He went to God in sheer desperation. Take time to read Exodus 17:1–7.
God did what God does. He showed up in an unexpected way to care for the people’s needs. He told Moses to hit a rock and water would gush out. I promise you that was never in Moses’ “Next Steps for Israel” plan. And yet, that’s exactly where God showed up.
Where is God showing up for you? If you are feeling weary, take a note from Moses’ book. Go to God. Cry out to Him. He cares for you, so tell Him about your needs. Be honest. But also, be ready. God may show up in an unexpected way for you too.
