HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO CORRECTION?
Are you correctable? Are you humble enough to take correction and criticism without “hardening your neck?” In other words, being “stiff-necked” and unwilling to change. This biblical proverb warns us that those who will not listen to rebuke and make changes, will soon be in so much trouble that it will be too late to avoid it.
One of the traits that we look for in elevating leaders in our church is the trait of being teachable. This means that not only do they handle correction well, but they willingly invite the same and make the recommended changes. This is the culture we want to create in our disciple-making. We want F.A.T. disciples. F-faithful, A-available, and T-teachable!
How do you respond to correction?
PRAYER: Dear Father, we want to be easily corrected and teachable. We want to be humble followers of Jesus. Teach us to put away our pride and to humbly follow You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
