Sharing Each Others’ Burdens

So the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me seventy of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tent of meeting and have them take their place there with you. I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take some of the spirit that is on you and put it on them, and they shall bear the burden of the people along with you so that you will not bear it all by yourself.

Numbers 11:16-17

Among many incites Pastor Jason shared on Sunday, he reminded us that when Moses became overwhelmed, God answered by asking the elders in the community to share the load. We are called to share the load with one another…we are not alone. If you missed Sunday’s service, you can watch it here:
