Proverbs 15: 10-11
10 Whoever abandons the right path will be severely disciplined; whoever hates correction will die.
It is very difficult to follow a path where the end is unclear. You don’t know where you are going and you don’t know what’s going to happen. God has planned out such a unique and incredible pathway for each and every one of us. We can’t know what is in store for us on this journey with Him, but he invites us to follow him anyway. He invites us to trust him with everything we are and to allow him to lead us along the path he has designed for us, and all the whole, we learn to grow closer and and closer to Him.
11 Even Death and Destruction hold no secrets from the LORD. How much more does he know the human heart!
God created and perfected every single detail of you. He carefully placed every freckle on your face and every hair on your head. He knows you like a painter knows his own work of art. Even though we will go through trials and seasons that we don’t think we can overcome, he is there for us. He knows where we are and he knows what we are experiencing because he planned it that way. He knows your heart better than any human on this earth ever could. When you allow him to reign over your circumstances, he guides you along the path he created for you.
12 Mockers hate to be corrected, so they stay away from the wise.
No one wants to know that what they are doing is wrong. The truth is, it is very easy to hate being corrected. If we go through life avoiding correction for a fear of what we may look like if people know that we make mistakes, we are in store for a lot of disappointment. It is so important to allow ourselves the opportunity to be better. We aren’t perfect and we will never be perfect. We have to learn to accept that and just keep moving forward. We are going to make mistakes and it’s important that in those moments, we grow closer to the wise and those who may be able to get us back on track.
