5 - Ex 18:23

Exodus 18:23

If you do this, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace.

Context: Moses has been judging (governing) over Israel. His father in law comes to him and tells him how to delegate the task so that Moses does not get worn out. He basically explains a hierarchy to him. Verse 23 is the conclusion of the father in law's speech.

Thoughts: Come at things with a system in mind. Delegate responsibility. Use resources - including time - wisely. This will help me to have the energy to persevere and those around me will benefit also from the peace.
