TORAH: Exodus 18:21-26 (NKJV)22 And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they (Israel) shall bring to you (Moses),

but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you (Moses), for they will bear the burden with you (Moses). 23 If you (Moses) do this thing, and God so commands you(Moses), then you(Moses) will be able to endure,

and all this people will also go to their place in peace.”24 So Moses heeded the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said.

25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of

fifties, and rulers of tens.

TORAH: Exodus 19:3-8 (NKJV)3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell

the children of Israel: 4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for

all the earth is Mine.

6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”7 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.

8 Then all the people answered together and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the

people to the LORD. THINK ABOUT: Answer in your mind/heart.1. Are you someone the Lord would want to talk to? 2. Do you Listen carefully to God’s Word and hear His promises?3. Do you know God loves you and God wants to help you?4. Do you choose to Obey God and His Word (the Bible)?
