When my two younger brothers were small, we often heard the younger say to to older, “Don’t tell me.” when he was feeling pushed around by his older brother.

This expression has become the humorous response around our home when one of us feels a bit “over told.”

Some people may not have trouble being “told” or corrected, but I, like my brother when he was little, often find it difficult to accept.

Proverbs, the book of Solomon’s wisdom, tells us that we should be open to instruction and direction.

Proverbs 10:8 says, “The wise are glad to be instructed,” and Proverbs 10:17, “People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life.”

Though it may not be our favorite, we need to be open to hearing when we need some correction. The correction may come from someone observing and highlighting our shortcomings or misbehavior, reading and meditating on scripture, or comments made during a sermon. Let’s look for the instruction God is providing.

Dear Lord, Help us stay open to your correction and discipline from where ever it may come. in Jesus’ name. Amen.me. Amen.
