Why do we resist correction?
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.

The ContextLink

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

Corrector: Ask Clarifying Questionslink

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

Corrector: Be Graciously Franklink

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

Corrector: Undergird, Don’T Underminelink

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

Correctee: No Prideful Deflectionslink

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

Correctee: in Correction Listen For God’s Directionlink

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

Correctee: Correction Is A Gift, and Not only For Youlink

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
