23If you follow this advice and God so directs you, you will be able to endure, and all these people can go home in peace.”
Did you catch what Jethro said? He gave his advice but followed it up with “and God so directs you,”!
Brethren let that sink in! You can take advice from man but you need to lift that advice up in prayer and wait on God to direct you!
“All advice which we receive from men should be tested by remitting the same to God for ratification and amendment.” (Morgan)
24Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said.
So Moses did everything Jethro said AND as God directed by remitting, ratification and amendment!
25So Moses chose capable men from all Israel and made them heads over the people as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. 26And they judged the people at all times; they would bring the difficult cases to Moses, but any minor issue they would judge themselves.
“It is better to set a hundred men to work than to do the work of a hundred men.” (D.L. Moody)
27Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own land.
Jethro’s mission was complete, he delivered his daughter and grandchildren to Moses and gave him godly advice.
What mission has God prepared you for?
Blessings, David
