Thoroughly fed

Lohn Lennox was speaking this morning on the first few chapters of the story of Joseph.  It was totalz unconventional, completelz rivetting and painfully applied.  It was fantastic.  Their are many things that could be said.  One thing that stands out was his statement about delegating responsibility.  it was particularlz in the context of familz, reflecting on Joseph1s dysfunctional experience of family.  God believes in delegation of responsibility.  For us to be his people made in his image means he gives us responsibility.  But how often we stifle this giving of responsibility.  In business, we shy away from deélegating responsibility.  In church life we hesitate or shy away from delegating responsibility (don't we know it!  Where are our next generation of leaders, preachers, pastors etc going to come from if we donát delegate responsibility and allow them to feil and learn), but God does not shy awaz from delegating responsibility for the life of a child which is eternal, has eternal destiny and purpsoe and reflects the imag of God.  He delegaters that responsibility to us.  Wow!

The responsibility of parenting is huge, as it the responsibility for pastoring.  We could learn from this!
