Exodus 18 Bible Study, Moses called to delegate, "what you are doing is not good" - Jethro.
This study we tackle Exodus 18 in which Moses' father in law, Jethro (the Priest of Midian), comes to visit Moses (and the Israelites) on their way to Mount Sinai. Jethro sees Moses sit as judge over all of Israel from morning until evening and says, "what you are doing is not good" (Ex 18.15-16). Jethro advises Moses to delegate to God fearing leaders and not take all the responsibility on himself.
