Think about This

Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

Application questions:

1. Are you easy to correct? How would a close friend, spouse or parent answer this question?

2. How do you typically respond to receiving instruction or correction—appreciative? Begrudging acceptance? Indifferent? Impatient? Defensive? Dismissive?

3. The bible sayst, “The heart of a fool can always find an excuse for ignoring correction.” What excuses do you make for discounting correction and instruction? What do these responses reveal about your heart?

4. Increasing foolishness turns away from those who bring instruction or correction. Are there ways that you are isolating yourself from those who are bringing correction to you? What would change look like?

5. What are one or two practical ways you can grow in pursuing and loving instruction and correction?
