“He who listens to a life-giving rebuke
will be at home among the wise.”
Proverbs 15:31
The wise are those who were rebuked while on the path leading toward death, listened to that rebuke, and then turned to the path of life
The wise had made choices that should have killed them, but they were saved by listening and responding when rebuked.
The wise aren't perfect, but respond when disciplined.
The wise should have been dead;
The wise have life instead.
How do you become wise?
By listening to correction.
If you want to become wise,
surround yourself with those who will give to you life-giving rebuke.
“The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.”
Proverbs 15:33
The LORD is the one who gives life-giving rebuke.
All others who are wise give what they have received from Him.
“Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
James 1:21-22
