Correction is Righteous

I don't know why my generation refuses correction. A generation that loves to be right even when we're wrong, one would think we enjoy being corrected so that we could actually be right.

Proverbs 12:1

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid

.

Why don't we love discipline? We love slinging the word "love" around yet we don't actually love what needs to be loved. We are too busy loving ourselves and seeking out our own desires and hoping that our desires match with God's desires, even though we know deep down his desires are not like our desires. Re-read that if you have to.

We gladly watch social media and blindly and deadly accept everything we are seeing as truth. Where did we make the wrong turn? What happened in our childhood that made us to the point of not even wanting truth but being comfortable with living in a lie? Its truly heartbreaking.

Jesus wins in the end no matter what, he is the author and finisher of our faith, so why not want to be corrected? Why not want to find out the truth of everything?

I propose that we step away from social media for a while and go into prayer. Im not even asking people to read scripture, just go into prayer, cultivate that relationship with holy spirit so he can point you to Jesus. Let him fill you with the new wine so you can understand that its better to be corrected while you are in joy and peace than to keep going around the same mountain aimlessly just to be corrected again and again and again until eventually you just choose to be wrong.

God bless all of you and i hope you have a blessed day.
