All or most of us have been in situations where there was a group of people who were the movers and shakers and we were not either. There were meetings going on at work or at church or some other organization that was where the best information was shared and decisions were made.
You may have experienced at your work something that was decided at some meeting that made absolutely no operational sense. As a consultant from time to time I saw clients make decisions that did more harm than good. I have made some of those myself.
Most of us then have, at one time or another, wished we could have been in the meeting so it would have gone better.
Look at Numbers 13:2 – 32. Moses assembled an elite team to go and research the land God had promised and make recommendations.
All but 2 of the 12 blew it. The elite team completely mislead the nation. With the result that for the next 40 years the nation did laps around the wilderness, until all of those who followed the advice of the 10 that were wrong and those 10 were beneath the sand, and the nation was right back at the same place they decided to trust the 10 rather than God.
The elite group, the brain trust, the leaders, sometimes get it wrong.
