The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7 KJV

A fool is a person who despises wisdom. Therefore, it is not out of place that a wise person does the opposite of what a foolish person does right? 🥳

So, if fools despise wisdom and instruction, an attitude of the wise is that they value wisdom and instruction. Instruction is typically given to guide with aligning to a thing or situation, a derailment of which usually comes with consequences. A wise person would allow themselves to be instructed to avoid some dire situations, and if they’ve managed to default, the pain from the chastisement should typically serve as a lesson not to repeat such an error. Instructions are not always pleasant to the flesh but neither are some consequences.

What’s your attitude towards being instructed and/or chastised? 

Be like a wise person who values such 🤗
