Instruction...Should I Follow it?

The one who follows instruction is on the path to life, but the one who rejects correction goes astray.
Proverbs 10:17 HCSB

Stubborn and self-willed people refuse to take instruction and suffer the consequences, eventually. God is so good that He gives grace upon grace to these stubborn ones.

Yet what a delight to find someone who has had their heart trained to love instruction. These people love God's way more than their own and have their ears trained to hear good instruction. Rather than resent instruction they welcome it.

Can people change? Yes! I did! It was a process and a journey I went on, being trained by God to hear good, Godly counsel.

The path to eternal life is full of instruction. It keeps me safe. Where do I find it? The word of God preached and read, messages listened to on podcast, the conversation with others.

I have to not discriminate against those God might use to speak to me. God has used the most unlikely vessels and some of them I would not normally hang around with. This is why the ear must be trained in righteousness.

Stay humble!
