Wise Men & Scoffers

One Simple Truth
No one likes to be corrected, but no one is above correction.

Scripture
Proverbs 9:8 ‭ESV‬‬ (Read the Full Chapter Here)
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

The question is not whether or not we will be corrected at times, but how we will respond when corrected. Many may believe that adulthood is the escape from correction. But we must be careful to never place ourselves above correction. Otherwise a wise man once able to receive correction and grow, becomes a foolish scoffer who, when corrected, only grows more bitter and hateful. No one likes to be corrected, but no one is above correction.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to be humble and teachable. Help me to receive correction and be better for it. In Jesus name, amen.
