Flourish...

We all face a couple questions when it comes to engaging in this life. First we have to find out what to do, then we have to find out how to do it. Some become overwhelmed by these two questions and disconnect from the pursuit. They become floaters in society. But others face them squarely and find their way. They ‘struggle forward’. Did you know there is a similar learning curve associated with engaging in the works of Christ?
“If you handle the work this way, you’ll have the strength to carry out whatever God commands, and the people in their settings will flourish also.” ~Ex. 18:23
Moses had now led Israel to freedom from the Egyptians, provided miraculous supplies of water, meat & bread in the wilderness, and defeated their first attacking army. A rhythm was now forming in this new nation. But daily oversight issues were now consuming Moses. Long lines of people were forming before Moses for his help. When Moses’ father-in-law saw this he protested to Mo wearing such a big load. He recommended appointing others to judge the peoples cases so Moses could focus on teaching. Isn’t it interesting, that in a day where God was very specific about what He wanted, He left it up to Moses and his counselors to figure this out for themselves? And sure enough, when they organized themselves differently Moses and the nation flourished. There are right ways and wrong ways to carry Christ's’ work. Its up to us to find where we FLOURISH! ~Verlon
