Wise Up or Crack Up

EXODUS 18:1-27

“Wise Up or Crack Up”

Introduction- Among the commentaries used in this series, I relied heavily on Charles Swindoll's book on Moses for both content and structuring the series

Jethro’s intervention and Moses’ response illustrate three steps to avoiding burnout:

I. SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH PEOPLE YOU TRUST – vv. 1-12

1- The Visit of Jethro

2- We All Need Someone Like That

II. LISTEN TO WISE COUNSEL – vv. 13-23

1- A Penetrating Analysis- vv. 13-18

2- Some Personal Advice- vv. 19-23

a) Focus on priorities- vv. 19-20

b) Learn to delegate- vv. 21-23

III. MAKE CHANGES IN THE WAY YOU LIVE – vv. 24-27

1- Moses Listened and Made Changes

2- Some of Us Need to Make Changes

Conclusion- Are you tired of living the way you are now?
