Moses Did Look

Exodus 39:43 KJV
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

When they had finished the work Moses looked at it.

First, Moses had to know the Word of God.
His duty was not to build the pieces to be used in worship; others were gifted of God to do that work. His duty was to know what God had said.

Second Moses had to inspect the work of men.
I notice that even though he didn't know how to do the work and even though others were gifted of God he still authoritative inspected their work.

Finally Moses judged the product according to the pattern of God.
His task was not to please the workers but to ensure that the work was pleasing and in compliance to God's Word

So is the duty of the preacher today. His is not to do all of the work or even to know how to do all of the work. His job is to thoroughly know the Word of God. And then his duty is to keep an eye on the work of the church he is to oversee. The assignment is not to make everyone enjoy their work or even to let them feel they are in charge of the piece of the work they are gifted in. His assignment is to carefully look at the work and see that it is in allegiance to the Holy Word of God.
