Read Numbers 35, Psalm 119:121-176, Acts 7-8
When did you had a time when people misunderstood you? Was it a language issue or maybe they did not have all the information they needed? Maybe they even misunderstood your motives. In Acts 7 as Stephen is giving his brief Old Testament survey before the High Priest and other religious leaders, he makes mention of the life of Moses and what Moses tried to do to help his own people in Egypt. “Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not” v. 25. Moses was trying to do something good and helpful, but his own people did not see it. When you take a position of leadership in any area of life you will always run the risk of being misunderstood or having people disagree with you or a decision that you made. This is the burden of leadership. You may not get the opportunity to explain yourself or your actions. The best thing that we can do is make godly decisions and stick with them even if everyone is not on the same page.
