JUDAH TRUST

a global ministry into HIV/AIDS

Lion of Judah and The Lamb

"Moses' father in law replied, "What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen now to me and I will give you some advice and may God be with you.

You must be the people's representative before God and bring their disputes to him. Teach them the decrees and laws, and show them the way to live and the duties they are to perform.But select capable men from all the people - men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain - and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you.

If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all thse people will go home satisfied,"

Exodus 18.17-23
