How Well Do You Take Instruction?
Proverbs 9:8-10, “Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate
thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just
man, and he will increase in learning. The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
understanding.”
Perhaps
a Christian worship leader could take the test presented in Proverbs 9:8-10. Do you recoil when your pastor gives you
instruction? We are starting a new year
and it would be a good idea to purpose in our hearts to develop the habit of
listening. It would also be an excellent
idea to make sure that we listen with a good attitude. Are you wiser because of the advice you have
been given or are angry most of the time because no one understands you? According to Solomon’s advice, the more knowledge one has of the Holy One
the wiser that person will become. Also,
the wisest man that ever lived said that wise men get wiser because they
listen.
