January 27 - Exodus 15:22-18:27

[Did you see the typo?  Those of you reading The Daily Bible with commentary by F. LaGard Smith?  First one to find it and let me know where it is wins a prize.]

Anyway, Moses father-in-law, Jethro, suggests to Moses a system of judges that will help him govern the people.  And Moses doesn't say, "Hey, God hasn't said anything about that."  Perhaps we have more latitude in area's where the Bible or God doesn't speak than we think.  As long as we're not in conflict with what God has set down and commanded, we can do things that glorify God and bless people.

Of course, as soon as the judge-thing is instituted..."Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own country"...or "He loaded up the truck and he went to Beverly...Hills that is...[sorry couldn't help it.]  Maybe Jethro wouldn't quit with the suggestions.
