In Proverbs 12.1 says: “Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.” Today, our Father wants to show us that correction is useful for us to have a better life Discipline exists for us to live well because if there aren`t rules in the society where we live in, it will become a chaos. It`s not different with God`s rules. If we don`t follow what He taught us, our lives will become a mess, and it wasn`t what He planned for us. But if you are on the wrong path, He will place you on the right one very carefully. Celestial correction happens for us to have a good life before the Lord, and we have to love the way the Father teaches us. He says that the one who never accepts the instruction is stupid. Don`t be a stupid one before the Father`s eyes, and if you are on the wrong path, allow Him to come carefully and correct you.

There is an edge for everything in our lives, and our God also set limits to us. Those limits are to be followed with love, but those who exceed those limits imposed by our Father, they will face the consequences in this life on Earth as well as in the spiritual life. My dear, today, our Lord is telling us that we have to follow the rules that He set to us because the one who doesn`t obey them will be seen as a stupid person.

“A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of wicked intentions He will condemn”, Proverbs 12:2. Be a good man wherever you go. Follow the plan God made for your life because you will conquer what the Lord has for your life, the one who follows other paths; He will condemn. Be a good man means loving your neighbor as well as those who cause you harm. It means to respect everyone, to be honest, every moment, no matter what your neighbor does wrong because when you ask something for the Lord, He will answer because you will have reached the Creator`s favor. “A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous cannot be moved”, Proverbs 12:3. The one who does others harm doesn`t have a stabilized life, on the other hand, the ones who follow the Lord`s plans, raise strong roots because God is with him. Do you want the Lord to be with you? Follow the path He prepared for you because He is our light, He guides our path and this way you will have strong roots that never break before difficulties.
