Are We There Yet?
If we use simple definitions, you’ll see how this message will
relate to you:
•A leader is someone who seeks to influence and serve others.
•Lonely leaders are those who feel like they are all alone, shouldering
overwhelming responsibilities without help.
This weekend we will listen in as a lonely leader cries out to God. His prayer
is not polite but raw and unfiltered. Moses suffered a meltdown when he came to
the end of himself and had nothing to meet the demands of those he was called
to serve. He felt like the burden of responsibility was too much for him, and
he was right! He couldn’t do it alone. Can you relate?
Elijah and Jeremiah also cried out to God when they experienced similar
discouragement. The Bible is full of lonely leaders and so is every church,
school, and hospital where people working with people face job burn out.
All parents are at risk of a Moses-like meltdown, as are those caring for their
elderly parents. We don’t want to crumble under the cumulative pressure of our
responsibilities. In Numbers 11 we will observe several ways we can learn from
the example Moses set.
Come worship with us.
