Even before Jethro voiced his concern, the Spirit was at work in the lives of those 70 elders. The longer Moses held a tight grip on his ministry, the more he limited the Spirit’s work. Believing that ministry rested exclusively on his shoulders meant that opportunities for others to step into ministry were withheld.
Jethro
Listening to Jethro
God doesn’t want you to live your spiritual life in private exhaustion. Like Moses, you may tell yourself that “it all rests on me”, or that “I’m the only one who can do this”, but that is simply not true. The truth is, a reluctance to allow anyone to come along side you will, eventually, work against your spiritual vitality. It will leave you spiritually depleted and exhausted.
