“When Moses’ father-in-law saw everything he was doing for them he asked, “What is this thing that you’re doing for the people? Why are you alone sitting as a judge, while all the people stand around you from morning until evening?” Exodus 18:14
- In our zeal to please God and advance His kingdom, we Christians often take on responsibilities that God never intended us to have.
- One of the great challenges of the Christian life is determining what God does not want us to do.
- When you become aware of a need, do not automatically assume God wants you to meet it. The only reason to perform a ministry is that God clearly tells you it is His will.
- Pray carefully about the assignments you take on, so that you don’t rob yourself and others of God’s best.
