Don't Be Stupid: Become a True Disciple

"Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed..."  By what?  Glad you asked, "...by the renewal of your mind."  The Christian life is a life of joyful obedience to Christ and His word-law.  This requires that we're thoughtful and willing to learn.  That's the key.  All Christians are students of the Lord.  A disciple is a "disciplined learner."  We aren't to drift along emotionally, but we're called to grow wise in the Lord.  

We're told that all who hate correction are stupid (Proverbs 12:1).  This shows us that the Christian life is that of humble submission to His will for us.  It shows that we're to be seeking His instruction not only in the Scriptures but also through our everyday interactions...especially our frustrations.  Indeed, our frustrations and failures are wonderful opportunities that the Lord uses, if we're humble, to grow and be blessed.  Let's not keep wandering in the wilderness.  Let's be humble and submissive to Him.  Let's take correction well.  Let's not be stupid.
