Proverbs 10:17 NASB
He is on the path of life who heeds instruction,
But he who ignores reproof goes astray.
Devotional
He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
Discipline is not only important to us, but also to those who are influenced by our actions.
So often we undervalue the impact of our personal decisions on others.
But God has placed each of us in a circle of influence to be a blessing and a redemptive influence on those around us.
To choose what is foolish, to ignore godly correction, not only jeopardizes our own future, but also the future of others.
Prayer suggestions
▪︎ Ask God to humble and correct you gently.
▪︎ Ask God to mature you with His Spirit.
▪︎ Ask God to correct you with His Word, His shepherds, and His discipline.
▪︎ Ask God to make your influence a blessing to those He has placed around you.
