You Can Admit You Need Help - Exodus 18:13–24
Shownotes
Responsibility does not mean doing everything yourself. Moses' encounter with Jethro reveals the danger of carrying more than you can manage and the wisdom of accepting help.
After leading the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses found himself responsible for an entire nation. People came to him from morning until evening to settle disputes, seek guidance and receive judgments concerning their problems.
When Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, visited him, he observed how much time and responsibility Moses was carrying. He questioned why Moses was doing everything alone while the people stood around waiting for him throughout the day.
Moses explained that the people came to him to inquire of God, receive instructions and settle disputes. He had taken on the responsibility of being the primary person through whom the people received guidance and judgment
