Equipping: God Used Aaron to Equip the Leader

Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let My people go… Exodus 5:1 By sending ten plagues on the people of Egypt, God accomplished many objectives at once. Not only did He secure the release of the Hebrews, He also taught the Egyptians lessons about Him. Each plague spoke symbolically to the Egyptian people, establishing beyond a doubt that the God of Israel was THE God. And through the plagues God also taught Moses lessons on leadership. Because Moses resisted a return to Egypt when God called him at the burning bush, God allowed his brother, Aaron, to accompany him. God used Aaron to equip Moses during the plagues. During the first five plagues, Aaron used God’s staff while Moses watched. During the sixth plague, Aaron and Moses worked together to summon the plague of boils. During the last four plagues, Moses worked alone as Aaron watched. From then on, Moses took the lead in everything. How often does God use willing associates to prepare His chosen leaders for success? Is God similarly equipping you through the assistance of another? I’d love to talk to you personally.
