“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
(Proverbs 1:7)

Jesus, the last thing I want to be is a fool.  I don’t despise wisdom. 

I don’t, that is…except when doing the wise thing appears to interfere with what I would much rather do.

God help me.

As for despising discipline?  Guilty as charged. 

I know You only discipline me for my own good, because You love me.  But most of the time when you “love” me like that, I hate it. 

Please help me with this, too.  That’s not who I want to be.

The good news is, I do fear Your discipline…which must mean I fear You. 

I hope so. 

Because according to this verse that enables me to at least begin to understand the amazing things You want me to know.
