Rebuke is more effective for a wise man Than a hundred blows on a fool. (Proverbs 17:10) In order to reach our full potential in life we need to consistently make significant changes as we go. Change requires learning, correction and instruction. Truly great people embrace corrections and quickly grasp the opportunity for advancement and refinement. How well do you take reproof? Do you only have to be told once you are doing something wrong to change your conduct? Or do you need to be told repeatedly? Are you often defensive and quick to respond when being corrected? Do a hundred stripes of punishment from men and God only serve to harden you? This is the acid test of wisdom. A wise man is improved by a single reproof, but a fool does not change, even with devastating punishment. Ask God for a teachable spirit and a heart of humility to learn from your mistakes. Youre blessed indeed!
