Just like our opening text puts it bluntly; a person who continually refuses instruction and reproof will end up in poverty and shame. This may sound harsh, but it is the truth. So, what is it about heeding instruction that makes it so sensitive?
The Bible says that the man who heeds instruction is in the way of life (Prov. 10:17). In other words when you receive instructions and heed them, you will be guided and preserved in your goings, and will not stumble or fall.
God has placed people around you who He has given the authority to instruct you. This could be your parents, teacher, mentor, or pastor. They are to give you instructions and corrections as they guide you toward success.
Many times, also, the Spirit of God uses situations and happenings around you to instruct you. Such instructions can be perceived as you observe things and people around you (Prov. 24:32).
For instance, the failure of another person can instruct you, if you pay attention and think deeply about the occurrence. Whereas, if you are careless about observing and learning from such occurrences, you may be setting up yourself to repeat the mistake of others.
Therefore, be in readiness to receive and heed instructions from the Spirit of God as you study the Word, observe happenings around you, and walk in submission to those that God has placed over you. This is an important key to your preservation and honour.
