Joshua, who had been a loyal assistant to Moses from his youth, shows his concern when he sees others prophesying in the camp. His instinct is to protect Moses' unique role as the leader and prophet of Israel. However, Moses' response is one of generosity and vision. He expresses a desire for all of God's people to be filled with the Spirit and to prophesy. This interaction reveals a key lesson: true leadership is not about exclusivity but about empowering others. Moses' wish for all to prophesy demonstrates an understanding that God's Spirit is not limited to a few but is available to all who are open to His calling. This passage encourages us to support and uplift others in their spiritual journeys, recognizing that God can work through each person in unique ways. It invites us to celebrate the diverse gifts within the community of faith and to foster an environment where everyone can contribute to God's work.
