"Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days." -Proverbs 19:20 (NASB)
There are situations, events, and people that enter our lives to give us reminders or to encourage us on our journeys. I experienced this over the last several days as I attended a conference filled with caring individuals looking to improve education for all students and willing to help those of us trying to strengthen our own teaching knowledge and skills. Being able to be around and listen to others that have more and/or different experiences than our own can help us gain wisdom, but we have to really listen!
There are many times in our lives that we don't take the time to listen or we are overwhelmed by circumstance and struggle to slow down and listen. God sends people and circumstances our way to help us, to counsel us, to give us discipline. We need to listen to these messages from God and become wise in the ways that He is teaching us. As we live and move through our schedule, we need to remember to stop and really listen to the advice and discipline that can help us grow stronger and wiser in all aspects of our lives!
Stop to listen, really listen, to all that God is telling you in His many ways!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for wanting what is best for me. Help me to listen and to really hear all that You are trying to tell me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
