1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
he breaks out against all sound judgment.
2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
but only in expressing his opinion.
3 When wickedness comes, contempt comes also,
and with dishonor comes disgrace.
We've already seen the past few days how important it is that we be willing to receive godly counsel and even correction. If we do not learn to do this, we can begin to harden ourselves and corridor ourselves off from the wisdom, support and input we need. What we will then experience is people calling louder to be heard, and our pride makes us shout out even louder, refusing to hear them. It will build walls of contempt, conversations will no longer be respectful, and shame will hang on our faces as things fall apart.
Questions: Who is your support team? When was the last time you asked someone for advice? What is the first question you can ask to get the conversation going?
