‘Make The Best Of What We Are Given.’
Genesis 47:6.
a) When God provides a place to dwell in we should make the best of it, whether short or long term.
b) Our family should be cared for well.
c) Let them have occupation. It is always dangerous if there is nothing to do.
(This QT reminds me to Make The Best Of What I Am Given)

‘Appointment To Be A Leader At The Right Time.’
Exodus 2:14.
a) Moses was to be the God chosen and appointed leader of His People.
b) He must have been shaken when his sin was discovered.
c) He was questioned: “Who made you leader?”
d) He was doubted because he had killed a bully.
e) Moses was afraid because his sin was known.
f) Only God’s Grace and ability could enable Moses to be a good leader and God gave Him Grace and ability at the appropriate time.
(Through this Second one I can find that for all potential and God-called leaders there is an Appointment To Be A Leader At The Right Time. Leaders are not man made or Church made, they are (or should be) God made)

Being occupied is Biblical. It is not correct to be unoccupied. Being unoccupied is not “resting” it is laziness. Even for God’s People in the Old Testament the Sabbath was a time for no physical work, however it was a time for spiritual and psychological concentration and occupation.
