Pondering – Proverbs 10:17 ESV

“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.”

Proverbs 10:17 ESV

My pondering: This is so true in so many dimensions and certainly ain’t easy. It is another one of those balance things as one works hard to be fully committed and striving fiercely yet remaining flexible and open to input.

My prayer: Lord, help me to be a man of action, passion and purpose yet maintain margin, thoughtfulness, humility and be approachable for reproof and correction by those whos motivations are noble and that You use.

Pondering Proverbs 10:17
“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.”

My take: I don’t know about but I find this all too often difficult. God literally had to break me emotionally some twenty years ago to begin to understand this one. And its not complete yet. As an free spirited American, I have my liberty and a cornucopia of rights. But Father, Father God knows best. His ways are the highways and that is one reason I love the book of Proverbs.

Action words: heeds, rejects

My prayer: As Jesus said, “Not my will but thine be done”. Help me to heed your commands, truly listen your Spirit and sage advice from others.
