Proverbs 11:2
When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
Being prideful leads to pushing forward with one’s own agenda, having no time or interest for others’ opinions or suggestions. In contrast, when we can be humble and admit that there is room for improvement, we allow for growth. I think of wisdom as growth—growth in knowledge, experiential growth, emotional growth- all leading to a more seasoned approach to life. God created us this way- we are able to learn! And God knows when we are living our best lives, humbly, and alongside Jesus.
Holy Lord, help me to remember today that I can learn from everyone around me. I do not always know the best approach or the perfect solution, and there are always others in my life from whom I can learn. And I learn from your Word each day. I am thankful. Amen
