Proverbs 15:5

Proverbs 15:5

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

Contempt for parental instruction is a mark of folly — it cuts off the child from the primary human channel of wisdom. But welcoming correction — even when it stings — is the mark of a prudent person who is growing in wisdom.

Memory phrase: Listen to correction. Grow.

Talk about it: Why is it hard to accept correction sometimes?

Prayer: God, help me listen when I am corrected.
