Learning
“Listen to advice and accept instruction,
and in the end you will be wise.”
--Proverbs 19: 20
Most of the stories gathered from my years of ministry come from the lips of wise people, mature people who had found value in listening to advice and accepting instructions. While there are plenty of stories from both young and old alike, it seems the statements of the wise and mature grow more valuable with every passing day. Here is an excerpt from a meaningful prayer by Robert Terry Weston:
This is the greatest skill of all,
To take the bitter with the sweet and make it beautiful,
To take the whole of life in all its moods,
It strengths and weaknesses
And of the whole, make one great and celestial harmony.
A prayer for today: Lord, guide my learning so that I can capture what you are trying to teach me. Amen.
