Proverbs 9:7-9 "Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt. 8 So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you. 9 Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more."
One of the most defining marks that separates the wise man from the fool is how they receive correction, instruction and teaching. A wise man receives them all and eagerly applies what he has learned so that he can become wiser. The fool however doesn't receive any of it. He gets angry and actually attacks the person that is trying to help him.
So what about you? How do you receive correction, instruction and teaching? How you answer this question will reveal the true condition of your heart, do you accept correction, instruction and teaching or reject it by blaming others and making excuses? Are you a wise man or a fool?
