Teach Others

Hello wise learners!
How are you? I pray all is well...(sounds like a Star Wars line...)

I am excited about getting into Proverbs today!! My bold print is verse 5, in the NLTse:

Proverbs 24:5
The wise are mightier than the strong, and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.

Throughout Proverbs it is stated repeatedly that: "if you correct a wise man he will grow wiser" (Coach paraphrase). WE (the wise) learn from our mistakes and it makes us wiser; smarter!! In addition, because we have found a mentor to study and consult, we learn from their victories as well as THEIR mistakes too, don't we?? "I don't have time to make all the mistakes so I learn from the mistakes of others. ~ AR Bernard (great quote)

In an earlier post, we talked about Proverbs 2, where it speaks about the "treasure of common sense that God grants"!! When we tap into that "treasure chest" we are equipped to be wise and make right choices. But, the increasing in strength is not just for US... I believe that we grow wiser and stronger to benefit others.

Just as you have chosen a mentor and allowed him or her to speak into your life; someone is looking to YOU to mentor them (or they are just silently watching you)! They want you to teach THEM how to be wise!! Let's face it folks; you cannot mentor others if you are not growing stronger yourself everyday!!

Make wise choices today -- be mightier than the strong and as you grow stronger...teach others to be strong too!!
