Putting Confidence In People

Scripture
Now I myself am confident concerning you that you also are full of goodness able to admonish one another.
(Romans 15:14)
Devotional
We need to have this confidence in each other. Think about the Lord sending out His disciples to do the work of the ministry. He naturally could have done a better job than they. Nevertheless, He sent them out. To grow, we must learn the ministry of delegation. We must entrust others to multiply the work to which we have been called. We each can reach. However, if we duplicate ourselves in others we can reach in multiples. We are to realize that the same Spirit that equips us is available to others. Therefore, we can have confidence in them. Each of us believes that nobody can do it like we can. That is true: Nobody can do as well or as poorly, but each can do it to the best of their ability. Pass on not only what you know, but pass on accountability and responsibility. Find confidence in people that they may in turn find confidence in more people.
