Proverbs 12:3 – Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.

The Lord Jesus once said: “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock” (Matthew 7:24 TLB). When one builds on rock, that is true stability! However, the wicked rebel against God and His word, and because of that, they build on false ideologies, desires and mindsets. Their temporary prosperity will not endure. The Godly root their lifestyles and actions on the word of God. Anything that is deeply rooted in good soil will last, and will endure any difficult weather or season. King David once said: He shall be like a tree planted (rooted) by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper (Psalms 1:3). Now that is true stability!

In II Timothy 2:15, Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved unto God. There is great wisdom out there, ready to be apprehended by those who love it. However, one needs discipline to learn new things. Learning is a marathon process. Most things take days, weeks, months, or even years to learn. One must submit to a consistent didactic process, line upon line, precept upon precept in order to attain mastery in an area (Isaiah 28: 10, 13). In Proverbs 12:1, the Proverbist said that it is stupid to hate correction. The diligent accept instruction and correction, because they know it is beneficial to them and their future. The ignorant person will reject instruction and correction. The ignorant are doomed to always remain ignorant. Decide today to be like that diligent person who welcomes mentors in his/her life. They will rise to the top, while the willfully ignorant will remain in the same place all of their lives.

Proverbs 12:1 – To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction.

Rock solid stability!

You will appreciate this kind of discipline!
