—Deuteronomy 1:9-18
by: Susan Bond.
Moses’ humility ushers in the respect and cooperation of those he is called to lead. Humility comes from understanding one’s place in God’s design, essentially recognizing, “It’s not about [me]” (The Purpose-Driven Life, Rick Warren, 17).
Having been in leadership positions, I know the pain of God’s slashing away my prideful concern with appearances, replacing it with the vulnerable and honest recognition that “[I] am weak, but He is strong” (“Jesus Loves Me,” Anna B. Warner).
