How To Become Wiser

Happy Monday, people!!
The weekend is over and it's time to get back into the "grind" AND it's another opportunity to study Proverbs together!!

We are in chapter 9, verse 6, NLTse:

Pr 9:9
Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.

This is simple today...two things:

1. YOU be the wise person: that allows your mentor ("live" or "distance") to speak into your life; to instruct (teach) you, and you will grow wiser! Let them teach you so that you will learn more!!

Example: one of my live mentors instructed me regarding an area that I made a big mistake. They got on me for making the dumb move, but then showed me what I should do in the future. After I got over the embarrassment I decide to learn more about decision-making and thinking before acting because I didn't want this to happen again. The thing about me is I get angry at myself when I make a bad decision, but disappointing my mentor REALLY hurts too!!

2. YOU be the mentor: I am sure you can think of at least one person in your life that comes to you for advice or counsel. They value you what you say and respect your opinion. WELL, pick one or two and "instruct them" in the things you are learning from Proverbs! Don't go around like an "annoying instruction machine", but using the common sense that God grants (Pr. 2) and the leading of the Holy Spirit, speak into someone's life this week!!

Believe me, you either have someone is mind right now, or they will be drawn to you because of how your life is changing as you study Proverbs. What we learn and experience is not just for us, but to "teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2)

Make wise choices today and include helping someone become wiser as YOU become wiser too!!

Love you Guys!!
