Proverbs 29:1 -- On Reproof and Stiff Necks

"He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
Proverbs 29:1


This is a good thing to remember. It is easy to react against reproof/reminders from God, but if we get defensive, then we are working against ourselves. The destruction part is scary, but I think the real motivation here is improvement. If we remain open to advice from God, then we have the chance to become very much better than who we are now... getting closer and closer to our best selves.

Today, let's be humble enough to accept advice from God, who is the only one with the ability to get us to who we can be. Let's listen and learn and improve, working to help others and avoid destruction.
