DAY 5 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
Receive Correction
A teachable response to correction is a mark of wisdom.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 9:7–12
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
The wise person is not someone who never errs, but someone who becomes wiser when corrected. Scorn rejects the messenger to escape the message.
Reflect
How do I normally react when someone exposes a weakness?
Respond
Thank someone whose honest correction has helped you grow.
Pray
Lord, deliver me from defensiveness and give me a teachable spirit.
