About this episode

Paul Tripp discusses how our limits are reminders of our dependence on God, using Moses' experience in Exodus 18 as a reference.

Your limits aren’t obstacles to God’s plan; they’re reminders that you were never meant to be God. Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time . In this episode, Paul explains how Moses’ exhaustion and Jethro’s counsel in Exodus 18 reveal the wisdom of living within our God-designed limits and trusting God where we fall short.
