Nb 16:1-15
Apparently, the leader is splendid, but
whoever is a leader recognizes that it's a heavy and difficult task.
Lets us learn what must be the leader's attitude in front of a no-win
situation.
- The problem which Moise was faced with
The imminent no-win situation was
revolt. If we see the main accusation of this people was that Moses
is arrogant (3) and that he imposes himself on them (13)
- The leader's attitude in front of a no-win situation
In this urgent situation, what did
Moses do to drive back cruel and overwhelming accusations ?
First, Moses faced it with gentleness. Moses had enough gentleness to
examine the situation objectively : how their accusations could
be justified (4). Secondly, with an enlightened mind (6, 11), a fair
reasoning, he showed how this people had an extreme conduct, and the
position that they held was a great privilege before God. Thirdly,
with prayer. When Moses heard the word, he was very irritated, but he
came before God to pray. (15, 1P 2 :23)
Prayer : Lord, in front of all
these embarrassing no-win situations, help us to have gentleness, a
fair reasoning and prayer to get through.
Bottom line : leader full of
gentleness
