We need to make space for listening to the most important voice of all-the voice of God Otherwise you will end up in Destruction.
Destruction: the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.
Instruction: a statement that describes how to do something. : an order or command. : the action or process of teaching: the act of instructing someone.
Within the Christian life, instruction and even correction and rebuke is a very important concept. Within the wise literature of the Old Testament, we see that the book of Proverbs was written for the purpose of instruction. Solomon writes about this saying that he wrote the book to instruct:
“To know wisdom and instruction,
to understand words of insight,
to receive instruction in wise dealing,
in righteousness, justice, and equity;
to give prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the youth—
Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain guidance,
to understand a proverb and a saying,
the words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:2-7)
