Hear Instruction

Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pro 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Pro 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.


All glory to God.
All through my recent respiratory infection (of which I'm still recovering from - praise God) I lamented the fact I couldn't do this study. I barely feel up to it now, my arms are weak and shaking, my neck hurts and I just want to go back into bed and lie down. Truth be told this won't be a long study for those reasons. I know I'm healing, praise God, but it's gonna take a little more time until I'm back to *normal*.


These are the verses that have been being impressed upon me during my illness.


Pro 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pro 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pro 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

If we hate instruction- we love death.

We can't refuse instruction and expect life.

Until the day we die, or until our Lord and Savior returns for us, we must HEAR instruction. We must be willing to be instructed constantly, learning without ceasing. And in learning we must apply the truths we learn.

Instruction isn't always easy- some instruction we receive we want to refute, we want to ignore, we don't like it because it's contrary to our flesh nature which desires predominance.

We must not refuse to be instructed by God on how we are to live our lives.


By His grace may we constantly be instructed, willing to receive the instruction, willing to embrace it.


In His love.

Amen.
