Proverbs 12:5 says, “How I hated discipline and my heart spurned correction… I would not obey my teachers or turn my ear to my instructors.”
This is how God often provides discipline and correction: through the teaching of teachers and instructors.
There is a posture of heart needed. You might look fine externally, but I’m not discussing the external; I’m discussing uprightness in heart. Inside your heart, what is your posture? Is it folded arms across the chest and a lifted chin? That quiet despising? That hidden resistance?
You walk around with a potential. Nothing may have seemed to happen yet, but you are a low-hanging fruit for a principality. It’s just a matter of time. Give it time: five years, ten years. Remind me.
You don’t get into serious trouble in the assembly of God’s people casually. It comes through a series of steps. In each of them there was a tossing of the head, a lifting of the chin, a despising of instructors and disobedience of teachers.
There’s a category of people who have no teachers. That’s ignorance. It’s another path to perishing. But you are not in that class. You have instructors. You were three feet deep when you were too ashamed. Now, you are fifteen feet deep. You were told when you were three feet deep, “shout, call out.” You despised instructors. Three feet became ten, and ten became fifteen.
You’re hoping that if you keep despising and ignoring what they said, you’ll end up outside the pit. If that is not madness, what is?
