Seek Instruction and Knowledge

Scripture Proverbs 23:12 Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge.

Observation: I listen to what people tell me, but I don’t apply it most of the time. I feel I know better but most times I don’t. I don’t allow myself the opportunity to listen and take in instruction and to weigh it to see if it is the right thing to do.

Application: I need to apply what I hear and search scriptures to see if these are truly words of knowledge. I’m old and getting set in my ways and that is not the way I should be. I should always be open to new knowledge and instructions.

Prayer: My Lord open my heart and mind to what you are trying to teach me. Help me discern what I hear every day and to apply this knowledge to help me fulfill the purpose you have created me for.
