As i was searching through the scriptures, i came across this particular verse and i am quite thrilled about it.
Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Funny enough, a pastor can still be a child in the sight of God.
"Child" here has nothing to do with age, title or status-quo. One thing about the mercy of God is that he's promised to drive this foolishness far from him.
Can you bear the rod?
You've got to grow up.
SHALOM!
