Whoever abandons the right path will be severely disciplined; whoever hates correction will die. – Proverbs 15:10(NLT)
THOSE WHO HATE CORRECTION
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you open to others correction?
Do you accept other’s ideas or notion?
Fools don’t care about other’s opinion
They never want to listen to reason.
Whoever turns from God will be disciplined
He made us like him so we can’t wallow in sin
Whoever hates correction will die
They open the door for all sorts of lies.

Do you have a teachable attitude? As a teacher for almost two decades, I noticed that those who excel in my classes are those who are very open to correction. Those who fail on the other hand are mostly those who are very stubborn and close-minded. When it is time to meet those parents who are not doing well in class, I wasn’t surprised to see the same attitudes that their children show in class. I think someone who don’t want correction have the spirit of pride and arrogance. The bible says that we should never think highly of ourselves (Romans 12:3). If we do, we are actually idolizing our own selves.
God severely disciplines those who abandons the right path and especially those who do not want to be corrected. According to Proverbs 15:10, the consequence of this unteachable behavior will result in death (meaning “sin”).
PRAYER
Lord, reveal to me when I am not open to your correction.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God puts emphasis on having a teachable attitude?

Mockers hate to be corrected so they stay away from the wise.
-Proverbs 15:12 (NLT)
THOSE WHO HATE CORRECTION
A poem and essay by ILMA
Pride is the source of those who hate correction
They don’t care about others and want isolation
They stay away from those who are wise
Mockers hate any evaluation or advice.
Scoffers do whatever they please which leads to ruin
They have no respect for others and wallow in sin
When you encounter them, be wise and stay away
All they are up to is to boast their own way.

I used to know someone who hated correction. All he wanted to do is to tell everyone his own opinion. He never seeks advice, he just gives them and bullies others to do what he thinks should be done. He manipulates anyone who trusted him. He never wants to be told what to do but wants to be control everyone he had relations with.
The clear sign of a wise person is one who seeks advice and listens to others. The bible talks much about wisdom in the book of Proverbs. There are many chapters in this book that stresses the importance of embracing wisdom and warns us of the consequences that fools face.
We are warned to stay away from mockers in Proverbs. We are clearly given the signs of scoffers. One of them is that they never want to be corrected.
PRAYER
Lord, please let me accept your convictions.
REFLECTION
How can you protect yourself from scoffers?
