THE VALUE OF CORRECTION

Proverbs 13:1-2 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes. From the fruit of their lips, people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.

Children who are wise to listen to instruction from their parents and godly elders.

A scoffer does not listen to rebuke: The scoffer is fool enough to reject all guidance and therefore never learns.

Biblical examples are  Lot’s sons-in-law, Eli’s sons, and Samuel’s sons.

Scoffers  change to a stronger word in the second line "rebuke' this shows that they do not respond to any level of discipline.”

A wise and good speech brings blessings of many different kinds, including the blessing of prosperity.

Those who are unfaithful to God and His wisdom engage themselves in riots and violence.

Wise and good words can preserve life. This is true both in a moment of crisis and over a lifetime.

As the guard keepeth the gates in a siege. God hath set a double guard of lips and teeth before this gate, and yet, unless he himself set the watch, and keep the door, all will be lost.” 

 He who opens wide his lips shall have destruction: To speak too much is usually to find trouble, leading to destruction. Wisdom will guard the mouth and the words it speaks.

How often have the foolish, headstrong, and wicked, forfeited their lives by the treasonable or blasphemous words they have spoken! The government of the tongue is a rare but useful talent.

It has often been remarked that God has, given us two EYES, that we may SEE much; two EARS, that we may HEAR much; but has given us but ONE tongue, and that fenced in with teeth, to indicate that though we hear and see much, we should speak but little.

Prayer: Thank you Father for your enlightenment on the value of corrections help me abide and be obedient to Your word in Jesus name. Amen
