Learning Wisdom Through Correction

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 3-day study on the importance of learning from correction. The Bible repeatedly affirms that receiving correction with an open heart is essential to growing in wisdom and living a fruitful life. Proverbs 12:1 declares, “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.” This strong statement reminds us that correction is not something to fear or reject. Instead, it is a precious tool God uses to teach, refine, and guide us toward His best.

Every Christian encounters moments of correction—whether from God’s Word, trusted mentors, or even our own conscience when illuminated by the Spirit. But our response to correction determines how deeply we will grow and mature. Will we embrace it humbly, or resist and stumble repeatedly? The journey to wisdom involves recognizing our need for correction and leaning into it as a path to spiritual health and lasting transformation.

Over the next three days, we will explore scriptures that highlight the value of correction, the heart attitude required to receive it, and practical ways to apply it to our lives. You will be encouraged to reflect on how correction has shaped you and consider areas where God may be inviting you to receive His discipline anew. Remember, correction is an expression of love and a gift from God to help us become more like Christ. Let’s embrace this opportunity with open hearts and minds as we seek God’s wisdom together.
