Day 246 A Willing Heart Learns | Proverbs 9:9

Send us a text

Ever wondered why some people seem to grow spiritually while others remain stagnant? The answer might be simpler than you think. Today we explore Proverbs 9:9 which reveals a surprising truth: "Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more."

This powerful verse challenges our understanding of wisdom itself. Many of us approach spiritual growth with the mindset that learning implies deficiency—that needing instruction suggests we're somehow lacking. But scripture flips this notion upside down, showing us that the wisest people are precisely those who remain teachable. Pride, not ignorance, becomes the true enemy of wisdom.

We dive deep into what it means to cultivate a willing heart before God. When we approach Him with humility rather than presumption, He adds wisdom to our lives in unexpected ways. The devotional offers a practical exercise to identify areas where we've been stubborn or resistant to God's teaching, encouraging us to surrender those spaces through prayer. This daily practice of laying down our pride creates room for divine instruction to take root.

Whether you're feeling spiritually stuck or simply want to deepen your relationship with God, this episode provides both the biblical foundation and practical steps to cultivate a more teachable spirit.
