God’s method of administering people is to pick good leaders. When Moses had the responsibility of leading an entire nation of former slaves, the burden was immense. So God instructed His weary servant to choose additional leaders from each of the tribes. The answer was not to import executives from other nations. These administrators were to be home grown.
They were also to have qualities that mattered to God. Wisdom was the first attribute to be sought for. Wisdom includes far more than knowledge or technical expertise. There are people who are brilliant in their narrow field of endeavor but fools in working with people. A second prerequisite for leaders was that they needed to have understanding. These people had to be able to grasp the issues facing the people and to discern the best response. Such skills would be invaluable in administering a nation. Finally, they required knowledge. Some people desire to lead but they have not paid the price to acquire a grasp of the facts and technical details of the challenges that are facing them. Those chosen to lead required a depth of knowledge that could be drawn upon in finding solutions for the people.
What type of people are you gathering around you? What is the caliber of people you have chosen to work with? Do they meet the standard God set for leaders?
