When Words Cut Deep. -Have your parents ever corrected or said something that cut deep, making you think twice about your actions? In church it's called "itching ears" when we reject the word because it's not what we want to hear. Correction is hard for most people because correction is often confused with rejection. God's words remind us...
Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. -Proverbs 1:7 To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction. -Proverbs 12:1 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding. -Proverbs 15:32 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. -2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. -Hebrews 4:12
