How Does God Lead Us?

This week in Collective Worship, we explored what it means to be a humble leader.

The children listened to the story of Moses leading the Israelites through the hot desert (Exodus 17:1–7). When the people became thirsty and frustrated, asking, "Is the Lord among us or not?", Moses didn't react with anger. Instead, he humbly asked God for help. Christians believe that God responded with care, telling Moses to strike a rock with his staff, which brought forth water for everyone to drink.

What Does it Mean to Be Humble?

Seeking Guidance: Moses showed humility by knowing he couldn't solve the problem alone - he continuously listened and asked for help.

Leading Through Service: Christians believe God leads by humble example, hearing people's needs and caring for them.

Something to Take Home

This story offers a practical lesson for our whole school community:

Ask for help: True strength comes from recognising when we need guidance from others or from God.

Serve others: We can follow this example of humble leadership by listening carefully and caring for those around us when they are in need.

When was a time you felt overwhelmed or frustrated like the Israelites in the desert? What helped you feel supported?

How can we practice being 'humble leaders' at home this week - whether that means admitting when we need help, listening to each other, or doing a quiet act of kindness for someone in our family?
