PRIDE HINDERS WISDOM
If we insist that we have the answer, that we need no more information, that we know enough, we are close minded and full of pride. We can have our own beliefs, but if we listen to those that we know to be full of Godly wisdom, we will gain knowledge and wisdom. We are never so wise that we don't need to be open to God's wisdom.
Heavenly Father, forgive us for being prideful and for feeling we have the answers. Help us to surround ourselves with Godly people who are full of wisdom and to have the humility to accept truths you would have us to know. In Jesus' name.
Read Proverbs 13:10
"Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice." (NIV)
"Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom." (KJV)
