Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. Proverbs 13:18
Instructions come to lead and guide to a destined place. Following instructions can be very detrimental to one's life. It can be a matter of life and death in some instances. Instructions that are modified or altered can cause major shipwreck. Poverty and shame are results of refusing instructions. Are you refusing instructions?
Honor is the result of being open to reproof. Another word for reproof is rebuke. Oops did I say rebuke?!!! We make the choice to regard rebuke. Think highly of rebuke. Consider rebuke. Show respect to rebuke. Pay attention to rebuke. Kind feeling towards rebuke. Rebuke........sharp, stern disapproval; reproof; reprimand.

God I shall follow instructions and receive reproof it is good medicine, bitter and sweet. Awesome Apostle!!!!
