Proverbs

Proverbs.
Not wasting words.
Telling it like it is.

Proverbs 12:1 says,
“…but one who 
hates correction
is stupid.”

Hmmm.
Yes. 

Stubborn

Correction can burn.
And pride steps up.

Not willing to be 
called out
and corrected.

I confess. Been there. 
Done that.

Stubborn. 
Haughty.
Stupid.

Blind

Blind 
to my own sin.

Needing 
consistent 
discipline
from a loving Father.

Until my eyes 
open
to see. 

And my heart 
surrenders.

Proverbs

In the process?
Growing. 
Knowing Him.

Loving and longing
for Him.
Deeper. Wider. Closer.

So, every now and then,
I need
Proverbs clarity.

And the reminder:
“Don’t be stupid!”

What about you?

Does a certain proverb stick in your mind? How has God used Proverbs in your life?
