The Moses Principle Part 2

Last week I talked about the Moses Principle and how Moses tried to make excuses when God called him. Today I wanted to share a little more about the Moses Principle. There is more that we can learn from Moses about ourselves

In Moses’ life there came a time where he had to lead the children of Israel. It came in stages for him as he acted on God’s Word and did what God told him to do. There are some leadership principles that we can learn from Moses.

Leadership is obedience.

Where did Moses learn how to lead the children of Israel? He learned through obedience. His obedience to God is what propelled his leadership. Moses learned how to lead by being obedient. As God gave Moses direction, he would relay the directions to the people. In the eyes of the people Moses was seen as a leader. In the eyes of God, Moses was a man that would follow His commands and have a heart for his people.

From this, there is an aspect of leadership that we can learn. The key to leadership is to obey the voice of God. Just as God gave Moses directions for every situation, He will do the same for us. Our focus, has to be on hearing the voice of the Lord.

Instead of giving the excuses that seem to be readily available when we need them, we must press through.

Today we have access to opinions, studies, polls and all types of  information.  The access to information is so great that we can let it drown out the voice of God, if we let it.  All the information that we have in this world falls short of the wisdom of God.

Leadership is action.

The first step to leadership is to obey the voice of God. The second step is to take action based on those instructions. Hearing God’s voice will only get us partially there. We must take actions that are based on those instructions.

An example of this is when the children of Israel needed water. The first time God told Moses to strike a rock and the water would come. The second time around, God gave Moses a different set of instructions. He told Moses to speak to the rock. Moses decided to do what he did the previous time.

He disobeyed the voice of God. He did not follow the instructions and it cost him dearly.

As we obey the voice of God, we will be elevated to positions of leadership. Not because we are great and have more knowledge than those around us. No, our leadership will come from being obedient.

Be encouraged today!! We don’t have to aim to be a leader, trendsetter or anything like that. Let’s just aim to be obedient and God will direct us on where we are supposed to be.
