Learn from your discipline

S - Scripture
Proverbs 29 v. 1 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck will suddenly be broken beyond healing.

O - Observation
Your reaction to discipline determines your fate. This Proverb addresses what happens if you ignore discipline. What happens when your pride, your stubbornness catches up to you. Broken beyond repair. Romans 11 v. 20b - 21, "So do not become proud, but stand in awe." IN the end, you reap what you sow. If you ignore the advice of the wise, as some point you will pay the price. Think about the warnings of Jesus. Revelation 22 v. 14-15, "Blessed are those who wash their robes that they may have the right to the tree of life... Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murders and idolaters and everyone who practices falsehood. Which leads to Matthew 24 v. 44, "Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

A - Application
Am I fighting reproof or am I learning and changing from it?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to learn when reproved.  Love Will.
