Good day, my brothers in Christ, and welcome
to another episode of Kingdom in
My name is brother Parker, and I thank
you for joining me today
in reading and learning the word of god.
And before we move on, I ask you
brothers to do me a favor. If you
can please like,
leave a review,
share this podcast with others, it would help
amazing people just like you
find this podcast. So I need your help
to move us up the rank, up the
ladder of the podcast world, and put us
out there for others to find. And I
thank you in advance for that. Alright. Like
I said, we are in our last week
of July, and we are
covering
the wisdom of Proverbs this month. And so
these are,
scriptures that can help you
through your daily
lives. Things you can apply to that's gonna
gonna help you
grow,
learn, and encourage you
as you move forward. So
we are now in
Proverbs 13
and we are at
verse 18.
And I'm calling this one discipline
and corrections.
Discipline
and corrections.
And it reads as follows.
This is verse 18. Whoever
discards discipline
comes to poverty
and shame.
But whoever heeds correction
is
honored. Let me read that again. This is
verse 18.
Whoever
discards discipline
comes to property
and shame.
But whoever heeds correction
is honored.
And this is very, very, very, very basic
that if you don't get this
look.
You go through life and
at some point,
you veer off what a case might be
and someone comes along
to give you correction,
to give you discipline.
You have 2 choices. Either you can heed
the warning that they're giving you,
you can heed the correction that they're giving
you,
or
you can discard it and keep going down
that road. And then when you fall down
and bust your face open, you can't say
that nobody told you.
Look. God
corrects and discipline us all the time
because we are his children. He loves us.
That's the whole purpose of discipline and correction.
It's it's about it ain't about the discipline
of what's being done. It's the fact that
you being disciplined means that you are loved.
God loves us. He loves his children. He
doesn't want us to veer off and do
stupid things that's gonna cause you harm, cause
your family harm,
and and and makes him sad that you're
not doing the right things that you're supposed
to be doing.
That's the whole purpose of discipline and correction,
especially when it comes from god. But not
only from god but from
other elders that around you, other men that
are around you that see things going on
in your life and they pull you to
a side. They pull you aside and they're
telling you that, hey, you might wanna rethink
this. You might wanna go in this direction.
That's because they love you. And they don't
wanna see you fall and bust your face
wide open. This is which is this is
what discipline
and correction does.
Again, brothers, we can take it either way.
We can take in the discipline and corrections
and and and learn from them and correct
and move in another direction,
or you can ignore it
and fall and bust your face open. But
when you do that, you can't say that
nobody told you because god will definitely
put you in time out. I did a
podcast on that. Look it up.
We've talked about it. It he will. I
know. Ask me how I know. He'll do
it. And so
let's heed discipline.
Let's heed correction. It's
it's for our benefit.
And if anybody, especially god, is doing it,
it's because he loves us. Amen?
Amen. Alright. That's our wisdom from Proverbs today.
That's in chapter 13
verse 18
and it's called discipline and corrections. And it
reads 1, read it again. It says, whoever
discards discipline
comes to poverty
and shame,
but whoever heeds correction
is honored.
And that says it all right there. That's
god's word and that's why we read god's
word because it's gonna give us
correction. It gives us direction. So,
alright, that's it, brothers. Y'all go have a
great day.
You are loved by god. I love you
as well.
Please be safe out there until the next
time. This is brother Parker with the Kingdom
in Action podcast,
and I say as always,
god bless.
