Scripture
7 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
Observations
- Teachability proceeds wisdom
- Respecting God's Word and the wisdom of the godly is the start
- Listen
- Obey
- Intentionally seek wisdom
- Greed takes more than it gives
Application
- Evaluate my teachability
- Change direction quickly in areas where I'm not teachable
- Listen relationally
- Avoid wanting more than I need
Prayer
God, I'm excited about going through the book of Proverbs. I ask for a teachable spirit. I respect You and Your Word and desire godly wisdom. Help me to understand that those I seek wisdom from will conform me and what I pursue will consume me. I need soak up godly wisdom and seek eternal things.
