Exodus 18:13-27 - Wisdom in the wilderness

Exodus 18:13-27 13 The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they stood around him from morning till evening. 14 When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he said, “What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?” 15 Moses answered him, “Because the people come to me to seek God’s will. 16 Whenever they have a dispute, it is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God’s decrees and instructions.” 17 Moses’ father-in-law replied, “ What you are doing is not good . 18 You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out.

The Unfinished Task (Joshua 13)

We have been eating a lot, maybe one of the reason is because we walk A LOT. Yes with capital letters there.. because we surely walks about 22000 to 33000 steps each day. It was very tiring, and i recall every time we get back home at around 11pm ish every day, i had to massage my own leg before sleeping because both of my legs feel sore. Anyway.. every time we had the opportunity to have a rest for food, i felt excited because not just it taste really nice, but it gives me the time to rest, and enjoy after all those “hard work” of doing hours of walking. Out of those foods we have, the most we had is “Ramen”. We enjoyed it so much because it taste really authentic, and also very delicious. During those time, my mind remember the first time God gave food to Adam. God did not just gave Adam one type of food, but various kind of food...
