Proverbs 1:5-6

"...let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance..."

Good Morning friends!  As we begin this new year I wanted to share this commentary to Proverbs 1:5-6. It came in my morning Daily Bible Verse email and it is by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor at GraceNYC.org.  

 "One of the traits that Solomon valued was the gaining of knowledge and wisdom. This proverb reminds us to never stop being students of the Scripture and the world around us. To the degree that we don’t allow others to instruct us, we place a lid over our own progress. As we prepare for the New Year, may we recommit ourselves to becoming students again. To lose our “expert” opinions puts us back on the trail of adding to our knowledge. The wise know that they need this. How about you and I?"

I really LOVE putting myself into a constant "student" mode.  Always looking at my surroundings and trying to learn something new from God, my friends, the universe.  I don't ever want to fall into the trap of thinking that I have everything figured out.  That sounds incredibly boring, don't you think?

May we all learn something NEW today!!  Let's GO!!!  :-)
