Stay Teachable

Day 199 of 365  •  BALANCE

Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.

Proverbs 19:20 (ESV)

Proverb Truth

One of the things I’ve noticed about wise men is that they never stop learning. The moment we think we’ve arrived is often the moment we begin drifting.

Because humility keeps the heart open. And open hearts continue growing. The older I get, the less interested I become in proving how much I know. And the more interested I become in learning what I don’t.

Jesus in Action

Even as a young boy, Jesus listened, learned, and grew. And throughout His ministry, His humility was as remarkable as His wisdom.

Forged Wisdom

Marcus Aurelius wrote: “Be willing to be taught.” Simple words. Life-changing truth.

The No Limits Challenge

Approach today with curiosity instead of pride.

Prayer

Father, keep my heart teachable. Protect me from pride and help me continue growing in wisdom, humility, and grace. Amen.
