A Burden
"You're going to wear yourself out--and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself." (NLT) -Exodus 18:18
Moses' father-in-law had just given him some wise advice to delegate. Moses was tasked with being the sole judge for thousands of Israelites, but it was burdensome. Often, we cling onto these burdens because we take pride in the control and recognition we receive from doing them. Yet, delegating gives others the opportunity to prove their worth if you give them the chance. Also, we can be much more effective with our time because it is multiplied by the effort of many. Are there areas you could relinquish control and delegate to willing and capable people?
