Pick Me!

I saw a clever ceramic toothpick holder with the words Pick Me! on it. I thought it was very clever. When were kids we dreaded being the last one picked to be on a team – remember? As a leader, whom do you pick? The best player – or the eager one who will give the effort their 110%? Arrogance and pride come with knowledge. Humility comes with wisdom. Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law finally convinced him that he could not be the leader of Israel all by himself, so Moses picked Joshua to groom and he became a brave leader of the nation as they entered The Promised Land. However, Joshua did not groom a successor and in one generation Israel stopped following God. Choose wisely!
