Proverbs 10:8 NKJV

[8] The wise in heart will receive commands, but a prating fool will fall.

I don't know how it always works out the way it does... I seldom need solid correction until I am irritated, angry, or frustrated. I let a situation get the best of me, act out of character, and reveal areas where I still need work. In those moments (the ones when I am least receptive), I have to rebound my emotions and apply wise counsel.

The best medicine is often bitter to taste. It's hard to swallow, but helpful for healing. Lately, it seems as though these moments have come more often than I like. It just reminds me that I am still learning, still moldable, and still growing. I don't have to like it to accept it and I don't have to enjoy it to appreciate it.
