As the workers, we have received instructions and principles from Scripture to delegate effectively. We surveyed some of those passages and took a deeper dive into Exodus 18, where Moses\u2019 father-in-law basically says, \u201cStart delegating or you\u2019ll work yourself to death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In part 3 of this series, we will explore why Moses <em>had to be told <\/em>to delegate. What obstacles stopped him from delegating before Jethro talked some sense into him? Why did he come to utter despair before he recognized the need to delegate? This will help us consider our own obstacles that must be overcome in order to delegate well in collegiate ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we won\u2019t be able to find conclusive answers to these questions. Scripture doesn\u2019t tell us why Moses seemed content to cater to endless lines of grumbling Israelites from dusk to dawn on his own (Exodus 18:13). Some might suggest that Moses, in his pride, didn\u2019t want to delegate to the lowly Israelites who might rob him of his glory. Anyone familiar with Moses\u2019s character will know that this was likely not the case. A quick look back at his humility during the burning bush incident will dispel such assumptions. Though there are a few theories we could discuss, there is one that seems plausible from the text and is also applicable to campus missionaries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Moses was hesitant to delegate because he didn\u2019t trust his people.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>We are hesitant to delegate because we don\u2019t trust our people.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember when I first read through the Old Testament, I was astounded by how often the Israelites blatantly <em>messed up<\/em>. They received signs, wonders, and even heard the audible voice of the Lord, yet failed to trust God and Moses at even the slightest <em>hint <\/em>of coming hardship. In chapter 18 of Exodus, we meet up with a burned-out Moses who has led an ungrateful, untrusting rabble since leaving Egypt. We can assume that it would have been difficult for Moses to trust any of these unfaithful people with <em>leadership <\/em>positions. When Jethro tells Moses in Exodus 18:21 to, \u201cselect out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain\u2026\u201d I can almost hear Moses exclaim, \u201cThere are no such men!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For campus missionaries, we sometimes find ourselves saying, \u201cThere are no such students!\u201d&nbsp; Our students mess up, they lack maturity, and sometimes they grumble just as much as those Israelites. It\u2019s difficult for us to view our students as adults who can be trusted, and when we do trust and delegate, some of our students sin and mess up in <em>major <\/em>ways. However, before your heads nod and an \u201camen\u201d rolls off your lips, let\u2019s remember our conclusion from Part 1 of this series: <em>The real problem<\/em> <em>with delegation is not our students; it\u2019s us.<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moses might tell us that he struggled with delegation because the Israelites were untrustworthy, but the counsel from Jethro indicates that Moses struggled with delegation because <em>he didn\u2019t trust the Israelites. <\/em>This is circular reasoning, of course, but Moses is the one who was found at fault, not the Israelites. The real problem with delegation was Moses, not the Israelites. God had raised up and prepared leaders even<em> <\/em>within the unfaithful, untrusting, quick to go astray Israelites, and Moses\u2019s task was to trust them\u2014or at least <em>trust God.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;God had raised up and prepared leaders even within the unfaithful, untrusting, quick to go astray Israelites, and Moses&#8217;s task was to trust them &#8211; or at least trust God.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Austin Pfrimmer<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unlikely that your students have melted down their jewelry, cast it into a golden calf, and engaged in pagan idol worship.
