As people in this generation, we need encouragements, followed by hope. We can hope on many things, such as a job, car, home, career, but this can be wrongly taken without others giving us encouragement. The Exodus 18:1-9 speaks about how Moses had a family reunion. Though his father-in-law, Jethro, had to bring Moses, his wife, and his children to him, he still needed to be encouraged. Moses was a leader, yet he needed encouragement. All people need to be encouraged no matter their position. The Word is to be encouraged. Moses bowed down before his father-in-law out of love and respect.
