1. Our availability and willingness to follow the Lord's leadership
and depend on the Lord's empowerment makes us spiritual leaders. Moses
learned that leading is about what God can do in and through us.
2. God may allow us short-term failure in leadership to build
character and dependence, and to reveal his power and glory. Moses did
exactly what the Lord told him and it made the situation worse for the
Israelites.
3. The key to leading people who are discouraged and won't follow is
to keep focused on the Lord and follow his leadership. Moses would
have to learn that following the Lord is the only way to be a
succesful spiritual leader.
4. God allows adversity so that he can multiply his miracles and
reveal his power and glory. God wants people to realize that he is Lord.
5. What may seem like aimless wondering in the wilderness could very
well be a part of God's plan. (Ex.14)
6. People will question leadership when the direction seems
detrimental to the cause. Don't give in to the naysayers, but allow
God to prove Himself. (Ex.14)
