Prov 15:10 -12
Correction is grievous unto him that
forsaketh the way:
and he that hateth reproof shall die.
Hell and destruction are before the
LORD:
how much more then the hearts of the
children of men?
A scorner loveth not one that
reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
Our hearts are open before the Lord
and He is best heart surgeon we could want.
He can see where the clogs are and when certain valves may not be
opening and closing as they should. He
knows whether we have an irregular heartbeat or if our hearts are not filtering
the way that they should. Correction and
reproof are absolutely necessary to maintain a healthy heart. This heart is the heart that the Lord wants
us to have. A heart that is not hardened
by the deceitfulness of sin, but is often cleaned out by the sword of the
Spirit – the Word of God. This heart is
one that loves to be examined and delights in discovering where it is not
healthy in order that life changes can occur resulting in a life that functions
at its optimum. If we are bothered by
correction we might be forsaking His way without even realizing it. If we go in to the Wise, to have our hearts
and ways searched we will love Him and function the way He intends us to.
