Proverbs 12:1

Proverbs 12:1

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Embracing correction and instruction is the mark of a person who genuinely pursues wisdom. Refusing correction — hating reproof — is described in the strongest terms: it is 'brutish,' the behaviour of an unthinking animal rather than a wise human being made in God's image.

Memory phrase: Love learning. Love wisdom.

Talk about it: How do you feel when someone corrects you? Why?

Prayer: God, help me love being taught and corrected.
