Scripture:

“The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.” Proverbs 10:8 (NIV)
Application:
Criticism is hard to take. Instead of hearing advice that can make us better people, our ears select individual words of rejection. Our impulse is to over-explain the things we do. That defensive chattering blocks out the pearls of wisdom that might be inspired by God. Eventually, we're stuck only with ourselves, looking in the mirror, chattering away, alone and hardened.
It's all avoidable.
Pray to God for wise instruction, and an open heart to receive it.
Prayer:
Lord, when You send instruction through others who can help me, please inspire me to listen to them, and not to defend myself. Amen.
