Moses was a great leader for God. God selected Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery to the mighty Egyptian nation and into the wilderness to worship the Lord. Yet even great leaders are not perfect leaders.
We all need friends who have a relationship with God. God reveals, and friends see things that we don't that help us and others to experience better relationships and living. Jethro, Moses' father-in-law and friend, saw that Moses needed to assign some of his work to others, and he advised Moses to do so (Exodus 18).
Moses accepted the advice, and a whole nation experienced better relationships as a consequence. Leaders of thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens and the people of Israel lived more like what pleases God because many leaders used the talents God gave them to help people to hear the Word of God, to enter and to grow in relationship with God, to apply the Word of God to their lives and to resolve more disputes than what could be solved by one person thus encouraging more harmonious and intimate relationships with God and people.
What godly revelation has a friend seen in your life that improved a relationship?
