Those who respect our God’s commands have given us the same advice. We want to do what the Law says.Get up, Ezra. This matter is in your hands. Do what you need to. We will be behind you all the way. Be brave and do it.”

Exodus 18:17-24
Moses’ father- in- law replied,“ What you are doing isn’t good.You will just get worn out. And so will these people who come to you. There’s too much work for you. You can’t possibly handle it by yourself.Listen to me. I’ll give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must speak to God for the people. Take their problems to him.Teach them his rules and instructions. Show them how to live and what to do.But choose men of ability from all the people. They must have respect for God. You must be able to trust them. They must not try to get money by cheating others. Appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.Let them serve the people as judges. But have them bring every hard case to you. They can decide the easy ones themselves. That will make your load lighter. They will share it with you.If this is what God wants and if you do it, then you will be able to carry the load. And all these people will go home satisfied.”Moses listened to his father- in- law. He did everything Jethro said.
