This week Trent spoke on Proverbs 12:1 which says, "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid." In this passage we learn that we need discipline in our lives. Sometimes we like to ignore it when a person corrects us, because we want to keep doing whatever we are doing. Instead of ignoring correction, however, we should listen to it. Trent gave the example of the kid who is told never to go into the wilderness because there are bears. It might seem like fun to go out to the wilderness, but if the kid does not follow the rules then he might get killed by bears. Clearly, we need to follow rules that are for our benefits. In a similar way, we feel pain when we do something like grab a hot teapot to tell us to stop burning our hands. Discipline is a great way for us to learn what we should do in our lives, and it helps us to avoid doing things that are stupid. In taking discipline from someone else we will make better decisions and will be able to follow God better.
