AN UNTEACHABLE SPIRIT

Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.” - Proverbs 29:1 New Living Translation
     Being stubborn is a very unattractive character trait to have in most cases. There are times when you stubbornly cling to what you know to be right and godly, but that isn’t what we’re speaking of in this verse. Solomon, the author of the bulk of the Proverbs, is telling us that those who become self-willed, rather than selfless, will eventually, yet suddenly, be destroyed and it will come upon them without warning. Destruction could come in the form of physical or spiritual death. Dying spiritually is far worse than physical death, because spiritual death leads to eternal separation from God.
     When Solomon speaks of being “destroyed beyond recovery” I believe he means that over time those who refuse constructive criticism of any kind shall become spiritually bankrupt. They shall become emotionally shaken and intellectually unsure of themselves.
     A believer is to have a teachable spirit toward the things of God. This takes time and patience. It calls for being far better at listening than talking. Being closed minded leads to being totally unyielding, which will lead you down a very rocky road. It’s your choice to make. Choose wisely. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
