Proverbs 10:17 (KJV)
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
Correction, also known as instruction, is a key part of our lives. We will never know everything and there will always be people who will know better than we do. It is best for us to be humble in moments where we have gone wrong, and acknowledge the correction we need in order to make our errors right. If we choose to be proud, and adopt a know-it-all demeanor, we are only hurting ourselves.
Prayer
Dear God, I know that there will be times in my life where I will make a number of mistakes. There will be times where the decisions I thought were right, will actually be wrong. Father, I ask for help to remain humble so that I can take correction from those around me May I be one to act on the correction I receive, so that I can avoid any unnecessary consequences. This I pray, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
