Exodus Chapter 18
Wise Counsel Can Prevent Burnout.
Moses’s father in law, Jethro, visit with Moses and sees that Moses is on the verge of burnout. He is acting as judge dealing with the disputes of all Israel. Jethro gives wise counsel to build a team of people that can share this responsibility.
I think it’s healthy to periodically ask ourselves and each other, “Are you feeling overwhelmed?” “Are you on the verge of burnout?”
What wise counsel could help you prevent burnout? Every situation is different but all are capable of being resolved. So take your situation to God In Prayer and Trust he will direct you in the right path with the best counsel. God may lead you to speak to a given individual, like Jethro, who can give you wise counsel in helping you move forward in newness and with less stress and less chance of burnout. Try it and Trust God.
