“There are many devices in a man’s heart: nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand” (21).

“The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil” (23).

Proverbs 17:1-10

I’m not very open to correction. 🙁

I tend to resist it.

I can explain and defend myself.

I can see the messenger’s shortcomings. (At least I no longer fight fire with fire.)

But I’m working to have heart that’s open and tender to rebuke and reproof and correction. Like this:

“A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool” (10).
