3.  Prepare  to  cut  your  losses

Luke  13:7

Finally  he  told  his  gardener  to  cut  it  down.  I’ve  waited  three  years  and  there  hasn’t  been  a  single  fig!  he  said.  “Why  bother  with  it  any  longer?  It’s  taking  up  space  we  can  use  for  

something  else.

4.  Delegate  (not  upward  delegate)Exodus  18:18

You’re  going  to  wear  yourself  out-­‐  and  if  you  do,  what  will  happen  to  the  people?  Moses,  this  job  is  too  heavy  a  burden  for  you  to  try  to  

handle  all  by  yourself.

4.  Delegate  (not  upward  delegate)MaRhew  26-­‐27

But  among  you  it  is  quite  different.  Anyone  wan5ng  to  be  a  leader  among  you  must  be  your  servant.  And  if  you  want  to  be  right  at  the  top,  you  must  serve  like  a  slave.  Your  aYtude  must  be  like  my  

own,  for  I,  the  Messiah,  did  not  come  to  be  served,  but  to  serve,  and  to  give  my  life  as  a  ransom  for  

many.”

and  rush  to  tell  the  others.

Lazy  slave!  Since  you  knew  I  would  demand  your  profit,  you  should  at  least  have  put  my  money  into  the  bank  

so  I  could  have  some  interest.  Take  the  money  from  this  man  and  give  it  to  the  man  with  the  $10,000.
