After decades of tending sheep, Moses is suddenly thrown into one of the greatest and most challenging leadership roles in the Old Testament. His first assignment on the job? Free two million Israelite slaves and lead them through the desert.
As leaders, many of us can relate to Moses’s feeling of inadequacy in the face of daunting and unknown leadership landscapes that lie before us. In What’s in Your Hand, author Eddie Estep follows Moses’s incredible, sea-splitting journey and offers important leadership lessons that include:
- Hearing God’s voice
- Leading through change
- Managing emotion in leadership
- Activating your leadership team
From a timid, self-effacing shepherd to a mighty biblical figure, the life of Moses teaches us a valuable lesson. God is not looking for a perfect leader with a powerful scepter but only a willing servant gripping a staff. “What’s in your hand?” God asks each of us as he calls us to serve and lead the people God loves.
