day when God

The word literally

Exodus 18:17–24
(NIV2011)
Moses’ father-in-law
replied, “What you are
doing is not good. 18 You

come to you will only
wear yourselves out.

will give you some advice,

You must be the people’s

21 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. 22 Have them serve
as judges for the people at all
times, but have them bring
every difficult case to you; the

becomes so much better

source of wisdom and great
advice. She used to say, “Angels
fly because they take themselves
lightly.”

And she taught me that there is always a way
around a problem—you’ve just got to find it.
Keep trying doors; one will eventually open.
She also taught me to accept failure as part
and parcel of life. It’s not the opposite of
success; it’s an integral part of success.

trouble…”
