I never liked getting disciplined as a child. But now I've learned to appreciate it, because it was helping me to get wisdom. In Proverbs, the Bible tells us we should learn to "love" discipline.

Join us for Day 12 of our series #GetWisdom as we did into Proverbs 12.

I got a lot of discipline as a child. I never liked it or loved my mom or grandparents for doing it as a child, but now I appreciate it. They were helping me to get wisdom. They weren’t out to hurt me; they were out to help me.

Some kids that I grew up with didn’t receive discipline from their parents. Many of them ended up in bad places.

Verse of the day

Proverbs 12:1, “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.”

“Loving” discipline means having a willingness to accept or embrace it, and to grow from it.

Discipline is more than just punishment. It incorporates instruction and training.

Other verses that talk about this same idea:

Proverbs 12:15
Proverbs 13:1
Proverbs 13:13
Proverbs 13:18
Proverbs 15:5
Proverbs 15:10
Proverbs 15:12
Proverbs 15:31
Proverbs 15:32


The bottom line is this: don’t reject discipline or instruction from someone else. Don’t be stupid. Receive discipline and love knowledge.

We all need to learn, grow, and get wisdom.
