Moses and the Burden of Leadership

When Moses complained of his excessive burdens (Num. 11), the Lord saw fit to relieve him. So he bade Moses to gather seventy men of the elders of Israel to the tabernacle. Then he came down and took of the Spirit that was upon Moses and with it endowed this whole company of seventy men. What a testimony to the gifts and graces possessed by Moses! Yet it does seem that in this transaction Moses suffered a great loss. One thing is certain: if God calls us to great labors, he gives us great grace. Would it not be wiser to cheerfully bear the heavy burdens rather than to meet the loss of this divine help.
