I'm beginning to see it so clearly again as i study the Life of Moses in BSF. I'm glad that God is revealing new stuffs to me in this very familiar study.
Like for example, i never realised that Moses had to put up the tabernacle all by himself!!! But that was how important the job was - and God wanted him to do to ensure everything is done properly and in order.
We're not talking about a 4-men dome tent here! It was big. It was elaborate.

And Moses put it up all alone. Not easy being the leader!!! And very unlike a lot of leaders these days who will happily delegate these kinda physical tasks to others.
Yesterday, we learnt about the Day of Atonement - arguably the most important festival for the Jews. It is a 'public holiday' for everyone - a Sabbath day rest. Mind you, these kinda public hols are serious matters.
But the one person who had to work full time was the High Priest. It was a tough job. All alone, he had to carry out all the bloody rituals - no, i did not use the word 'bloody' as a swear word. It was literally a bloody job! He had to personally take the animals and then slaughter them to be sacrificed! We're not talking about chickens here - bulls and goats!
So while everyone else sits around literally, he does all the hard work, get all bloodied - and doing all that for the people!!!
Not easy, not easy.
As was said in the movie Watchmen - the Watchmen watch over us but who watches over them?
May i humbly suggest that we take time to appreciate our leaders and to give them our full support at all times.
