6.30.19- A Leader's Wisdom
Use the following thoughts and questions to have a spiritual conversation as a family. Don’t emphasize having the right
answer, but focus on spending time discussing the Word as a family.
• When has listening to the wisdom of other believers helped our family serve God better? • What wisdom has God given our family that we can share with someone around us now? Who comes to mind?
• How does it honor God when our family both walks alongside and rejoices with others?
Scripture
Exodus 18:7-18,24-27Session Summary
Moses’ and Jethro’s (Moses’ father-in-law) reunion began with describing and rejoicing over God’s goodness to the Israelites. Jethro even offered sacrifices to God, celebrating what the Lord had done in the lives of God’s people. Then, he stayed and saw how Moses spent all day, surrounded by people who came to him to “inquire of God.” Jethro knew that what he saw wasn’t good: this responsibility couldn’t only fall to Moses. Moses needed to delegate, and that’s exactly what Jethro suggested. He was honest with Moses, telling him the current process wasn’t good; however, he also offered a solution. Moses listened and delegated to other leaders to better serve God’s people. Like Moses, we all need the wisdom of other believers. We were not made to live life alone.Conversation Questions
