Correction is a form of the Lord’s discipline. And Proverbs 12:1 says, “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.” May the Lord help us to love knowledge today. Jon Bloom ( @Bloom_Jon) serves as teacher and cofounder of Desiring God.
Correction is a gift, and not only for you. Your correction may also be someone else’s provision. Correction is a form of the Lord’s discipline. And Proverbs 12:1 says, “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.” May the Lord help us to love knowledge today.
When God brings correction to us through the loving observation of someone else, it’s a gift, but not only for us. It’s often for many others as well. If we pridefully resist correction, we are likely plugging up a channel of grace to others. There’s more at stake in our humility than we realize.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
At this point in the story, Jethro, Moses’s father-in-law, had escorted Moses’s wife (his daughter) and two boys to rejoin the wild wilderness adventure and heard first hand all the amazing things that God had done for Israel through Moses. Jethro burst into praise and proclaimed God’s supremacy (verses 10–11). Then Jethro observed his son-in-law a
When Moses finally took a break, Jethro asked him a clarifying question: “Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?” (verse 14). Asking this question was wise and kind. Jethro didn’t jump to a conclusion based on his own perspective. He asked first. This gave Moses a chance to explain what he was doing and
Understanding this, Jethro said to Moses, “What you are doing is not good. You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone” (verses 17–18). Jethro was frank: “what you are doing is not good.” No beating around the bush. But Jethro was also gracious. Defective system
Notice that Jethro’s critique wasn’t ad hominem. He didn’t say, “Moses, you’re a lousy leader. It shouldn’t take an administrative genius to see that your system doesn’t scale. Do you think you’re qualified to lead two million people?” No. Jethro’s goal wasn’t to undermine Moses leadership but to undergird him. He observed a problem, sought to unde
Now note Moses’s remarkably humble response: “So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said” (Exodus 18:24). Moses didn’t bristle defensively at Jethro. He didn’t brush him off as an outsider who didn’t understand the organization. He didn’t try to save face by lying that he’d been thinking about doing that very t
Even though Moses frequently received immediate verbal direction from God, he was not narrow in his understanding of how God speaks and directs. Since God ruled everything he could just as easily direct him through a father-in-law as from a cloud. If God used Jethro’s correction to direct Moses to greater effectiveness, how much more should we be h
Jethro’s correction wasn’t just God’s provision for Moses, it was also God’s provision for the needs of thousands of people. When God brings correction to us through the loving observation of someone else, it’s a gift, but not only for us. It’s often for many others as well. If we pridefully resist correction, we are likely plugging up a channel of
So to sum up the lessons from the Exodus 18Correction Clinic: When giving correction: 1. Ask clarifying questionsto gain a more accurate understanding. Don’t assume. 2. Be graciously frank.Don’t hint or over-qualify. Just say what you see with the humility that you might not be seeing perfectly. 3. Undergird, don’t undermine. Construct, don’t destr
