“Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he
that hateth reproof is brutish.” (Proverbs 12:1 KJV)
A friend of mine said; “The most painful part when
buying something that needs to be set up or upgrade is the reading, and the following
of the instructions that comes with it.” In spiritual sense, it’s about
obtaining God’s wisdom through His Word. If you’re buying a car, you need to
read the instructions or manual so you would not put your life, the life of
your passengers, and others on the road in jeopardy. You have to know your car,
the engine, and everything on the dashboard, and most of all- you drive safely
and defensively. If you want to know God in a deeper way, you have to read His
instructions which can be found in the Holy Bible.
In (proverbs 12: 1) “Whoso
loveth instruction loveth knowledge…” You will not like what it says if you
continue reading… Notice what it says in verse 1- “…but he that hateth reproof
is brutish.” Let me say it in my own words or let me paraphrase it… “He who
hates rebukes is like a fool or someone who lacks understanding…”
The Holy Bible is God’s manual and guide
to us. We must read it, live it, and practice it.
