Proverbs 9:10
Do you ever feel like everything depends on you? Moses did. He bore the burden of leading Israel alone until his father-in-law Jethro gave him wise advice—delegate the work. Instead of carrying it all himself, Moses needed to trust others and allow God’s wisdom to guide him through the support of capable leaders. Too often, we rely on our own strength and resist asking for help. But wisdom isn’t just about knowing what to do—it’s about being humble enough to seek godly counsel. God places people in our lives to guide, encourage, and remind us that we don’t have to do everything alone. When we release control and trust in His design for leadership and support, we find greater strength and clarity. Who in your life offers godly wisdom? Seek their counsel, and trust that God leads through those He places around you.
