The life of wisdom is not a smooth upward climb, but an ongoing process of correction and renewal. Proverbs teaches us to value this cycle of correction for what it is: life giving and driven by love.

• How does our being corrected relate to our status as children of God? (Proverbs 3:11-12; Hebrews 12:7)
• In what concrete ways can we strive to rightly respond to correction?
