We read Proverbs 15 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today and verse 32 is SO clear and powerful!
32 He who refuses and ignores instruction and correction despises himself, but he who heeds reproof gets understanding.
The Word of God is what the our Father God uses to instruct, correct and train us! By the Spirit of God Who lives in us, the Word is brought to life and made personal and intimate to us individually. He IS our personal Teacher, and He teaches the WORD. To refuse or ignore His teaching and training puts us in the worst possible position for any type of success or victory! That's why this verse says that those who do so dispise themselves! "Despise", according to the Dictionary, means: to loathe, to reject, to revile, to disdain, to repudiate, to neglect, to undervalue, to scorn or to detest! THAT is what we REALLY think about ourselves when we refuse to learn and grow and change! DON'T be one who refuses the wonderful and very personal teaching that comes directly fromthe heart of the living God! AMEN! Here also is verse 33, which is directed to those of us who refuse to refuse instruction! We DESIRE to walk in the wonderful and matchless Wisdom of the One, True God!
33 The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
AMEN! Let's make it our determined purpose to ALWAYS stay teachable and a DOER of the Word of God! TRUE SUCCESS! Here is Hillsong with "Look To The Sun":
Shalom in Him!
