Under Gods Command

Proverbs 9:7-10 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.  Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you. Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.

 Are you a mocker or a wise person?  You can tell by the way you respond to criticism.  Instead of tossing back a quick put down or clever retort when rebuked.  Listen to what is being said.  Learn from your critics; this is the path to wisdom.  Wisdom begins with knowing God.  He gives insight into living because he created life.  To know God is not just to know the facts about him, but to stand in awe of him and have a relationship with him.  Do you really want to be wise?  Get to know God better and better.
