32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves,
but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.
I'm reading a lot about the more the mouth is moving the more chance for trouble. Also the importance of humility which I think feeds into this verse. When pride takes over instead of humility it is difficult to allow God to discipline and correct my actions.
Do I listen to God? Do I reflect on my days and my actions and ask him to show me better ways to a better teammate and leader at work? Do I listen to him to hear how I can be a better husband and father?
more listening and changing actions when needed, less using my mouth or at minimum controlling what comes out of it are a couple themes for me as we roll through Proverbs.

Its tough, isn't it? I think a lot of times.....why did I say that? Especially when speaking about others. Not necessarily stirring up trouble. But, sometimes not speaking in the best way about someone else.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you...."less using the mouth" hahaha
