Prayer Focus-Burdens

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at God’s wisdom to lighten the load for Moses.

Moses took this burden to the Lord in Numbers chapter 11, verses 13 and 14.

He said about the people, “They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.’”

The LORD said to Moses, “Bring me seventy of Israel’s elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people.” He promised to take some of the power of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on them. They would share the burden of the people with Moses so that he did not have to carry it alone.

God cares about the burdens of our heart. Leaning on His wisdom gives us greater support for the burdens we carry.

God’s wisdom to lighten the load for Moses is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
