Exodus 18 | Jethro's Counsel and Able Men Who Fear God | WalkingThroughtheWord(NASB)

What happens when the work never lets up and one person tries to carry it all? In this video, we walk through Exodus chapter 18. Jethro, the priest of Midian and Moses' father-in-law, hears of all that God had done for Israel and brings Moses' wife and sons to him at the mountain of God. Moses tells him all that the Lord had done, and Jethro blesses the Lord and brings a burnt offering and sacrifices for God. The next day, Jethro sees Moses judging the people from morning until evening, tells him the task is too heavy for him to do alone, and counsels him to choose able men who fear God to share the work. Exodus 18 shows that the Lord's saving works are worth telling, and that God's people were served when able, God-fearing, truthful men shared the work of judging under His statutes and laws. When the work God has given us becomes more than one person can carry, this chapter calls us to tell what the Lord has done, to receive wise counsel with humility, and to share the work with faithful people.
