What happens when we reach a point in our spiritual journey where we think we've learned enough? Today's reflection challenges this complacency by diving into Proverbs 9:9 and exploring the profound connection between wisdom and teachability.

True wisdom isn't measured by how much you know, but by how willing you remain to learn more. "Instruct the wise and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous and they will learn even more." This counterintuitive principle reveals something remarkable about spiritual growth – the wisest people are precisely those who maintain a humble, teachable spirit throughout their lives.

We explore why growth often feels uncomfortable, requiring us to unlearn old habits and embrace new perspectives that stretch us beyond familiar territory. The most fruitful disciples consistently maintain the posture that says, "Lord, I still need you to lead me. I don't have it all figured out." This humility keeps our hearts receptive to God's continuing work in our lives, allowing Him to shape us for our good and His glory.

Take a moment today to reflect on areas where you might have stopped listening or learning. Write it down and pray for renewed humility in that specific aspect of your life. Remember that every lesson God brings your way – even the difficult ones – serves a greater purpose in your spiritual formation.

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.759
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.880
I'm Rick.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.000
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.760
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.760
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.519
Let's get started.

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.839
Today is day 272.

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:27.760
Stay teachable until the end.

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.880
From Proverbs chapter 9, verse 9 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.439
Instruct the wise and they will be even wiser.

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.640
Teach the righteous and they will learn even more.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.359
A true disciple of Jesus never stops learning.

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.159
No matter how much you've grown, there's always more God wants to teach you.

00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:56.320
The wisest people are those who remain humble and willing to receive correction and guidance.

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.320
Sometimes growth means unlearning old habits, perspectives, or attitudes.

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.799
Other times it means being stretched in ways that feel uncomfortable.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.159
But every lesson that God gives you is for your good and for his glory.

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.879
Staying teachable means, Lord, I still need you to lead me.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.120
I don't have it all figured out.

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.319
That posture will keep your heart soft and your life fruitful.

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:31.200
So today I want you to ask God to show you one area in your life where you've stopped listening or learning.

00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.920
Write it down and pray for humility to grow in that area.

00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.599
Pray with me.

00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.799
Father God, help me to remain teachable.

00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:46.799
I want to grow riser every day by staying close to you and listening to your spirit's leading.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.120
In Jesus' precious name.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.079
Amen.

00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.040
Well, that's all for today.

00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.640
