DEVOTION: Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.  Proverbs 12:1
 
As most of you know, Cara is having surgery tomorrow.  She will be having her ribcage repaired by the doctor taking out the cartilage and repositioning the bones to where they should be.  Then he will put a titanium rod, maybe two, in place to keep the bones positioned correctly so that the cartilage grows back where it should. 
 
She will have a long road of recovery, but when she is done with it she will feel like a new person!  She will be able to breath better, since now her lungs are only at 80% capacity.  Her ribs and her back won't hurt her anymore.  It'll be wonderful..... if she follows the doctors instructions that is. 
 
She will have to wear a protective brace/covering every time she gets up out of bed for a long time.  I hate to even think about would happen if she didn't?  She could severely injure herself and ruin her recovery.  She isn't supposed to lift anything for a long time.  I hate to think of what would happen if she did.  She isn't supposed to run or do any sort of strenuous activity for a long time.  If she does it would probably mean another surgery.  Doing those things without the doctor's approval is just plain stupid. 
 
When people don't listen to those whoa re trying to tell them what is good for them and what they should do.  It's stupid.  When people are being corrected for something they have done wrong and they fail to heed the correction and go back to doing that stupid thing again. They're stupid!  When people, who know that worship is good for them, or that following Christ's commands to love and forgive are good things, or that they need to repent, and still they don't.  They're stupid!
 
And I, for one, am not afraid to tell you so!  People do it to me all the time, and I am thankful for it!  I love discipline and I know that it is good to listen to correction and follow it!  I pray that you do too!
 
Prayer:  Lord, help those who need to be corrected and disciplined to take it to heart and learn from it!  Amen.
