October 29 Proverbs 15:32 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding. Although discipline is often a hard pill to swallow it is definitely one that is necessary. Discipline is not a respecter of age because irrespective of how old you may be you are never too old to be disciplined. This is especially true in our Christian walk.
