Open to Learn

Proverbs 1:1-5 These are the proverbs of Solomon, son of David and king of Israel. They teach you to be wise, accept correction, and understand wise sayings. They guide you in developing your mind in the right way, showing you how to live honestly, fairly, and do what is right. These proverbs make even those without education smarter, teaching young people valuable lessons. Even the wise can become wiser by listening to Solomon’s proverbs, gaining deeper understanding and learning how to solve difficult problems.

Imagine you’re cooking a delicious meal, only to realise you’re missing a key ingredient. Quick dash to the local shop – but it’s closed. Not ideal, right? That key ingredient is essential to making the recipe work.

In the same way, how often do we “close shop” when it comes to learning from mistakes or accepting correction? We all need to be open for business, ready to listen and grow.

Back in the day, King Solomon knew this well. When teaching his sons, he shared his years of wisdom, starting with these powerful words:

Proverbs 1:1-6 Solomon’s proverbs help us to learn wisdom, accept correction, and understand life lessons. They develop our minds, helping us live rightly and fairly. These proverbs bring wisdom to the uneducated, teaching young people what they need to know and how to apply it. Even those who are wise can grow wiser, gaining insight and learning to solve challenges.

So, friend, whether you’re seeking God’s wisdom or trying to learn from your own mistakes, stay open to biblical wisdom. Proverbs is full of life lessons that will help you grow, improve, and live wisely.

That’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.
