The life of wisdom is not a smooth upward climb, but an ongoing process of correction and renewal. Proverbs teaches us to value this cycle of correction for what it is: life giving and driven by love.
Discussion prompts:
Why should we value correction? (Proverbs 15:31-33)
How does our being corrected relate to our status as children of God? (Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 12:7)
In what concrete ways can we strive to rightly respond to correction?
