Fantastic Friday #277- Correction

Good Morning Men,

Correction

1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates correction is stupid.

2 A good man obtains favor from the LORD,
but the LORD condemns a crafty man.

3 A man cannot be established through wickedness,
but the righteous cannot be uprooted. Proverbs 12:1-3

How do you handle feedback or correction? Do you automatically brush it off as something you don't think you need, or do you listen carefully? Do you take in what is being said to you and then evaluate how you can do better? The enemy wants you to react with anger and frustration, because that draws a line between you and the Lord. If that line is drawn by you then wickedness can slip into your life, and that is exactly where the enemy wants you. I like the picture of taking feedback from my fellow brother to gain knowledge that will help me grow, rather than being condemned or stuck in wickedness. Ground yourselves in righteousness and allow that correction in your life so you won't look stupid.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
