GIVE HEED TO REPROOF
Proverbs 15:37-38 (15:32-33)
He who rejects instruction hates himself,
But he who gives heed to reproofs loves his soul.
The fear of God is instruction and wisdom,
And the beginning of glory will respond to it.
Personal Challenge
There is nothing like receiving corrective discipline from someone, especially when that someone is God. As humans, designed from the very beginning with free will, we often get hung up on the belief that we have the right to do what we want, to be who we want to be. But what happens when that goes against the teaching and expectations of our Lord? Reproof! Correction! Discipline! If we resist this, then God says that we hate ourselves. That is harsh. We should embrace instruction and reproof in order to be lovers of our souls. Glory be to God!
