2 Kings 3:1-27; Jeremiah 36:1-32; Hebrews 8:1-13


And Moses’ father in law said unto him, The thing that thou
doest is not good. Exodus 18:17


Jethro was pointing out to Moses that if he didn’t change his
ways with regard to how he was carrying out his work, he would
simply wear out! Do we need to pause and reassess how we’re
spending our time? Is it being used in a wasteful or worthwhile
manner? Are we prepared to listen to the advice of others? If you
are too busy to have real communion with your God in prayer, to
enjoy meaningful study of His Word or even to spend quality time
with your family, then “the thing that thou doest is not good”.
—Pete Smith


Where is the blessedness I knew, when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view of Jesus and His Word?
—W. Cowper
