Pro 15:5 | KingComments | STEP | Only “a fool rejects his father’s discipline”. No one but a father can discipline a child in the most penetrating and yet appropriate way. He knows his child and knows what he needs. He also knows life and knows where the dangers lurk. The child who takes no notice of a loving discipline from his father and even rejects it contemptuously is a fool. In contrast, a son testifies that he is “sensible” when he “regards reproof”. By doing so, he shows that he realizes that he still has much to learn and needs correction. He shows common sense After accepting the fear of the LORD, accepting discipline from the parents is of the highest value. The authority of the father and parents is the authority of God. Discipline must begin at home and is the responsibility of the father or the parents. That is where our life begins. Because we are prone to do the wrong thing, we need correction. David was a sensible one. He considered it a favor when he was reproved ( ).
