Keep Your Ears Open to Learning
My dear son,
An ear that is willing to learn can discover something worthwhile anywhere. Growing wiser does not mean running out of questions. Often it means noticing what you still need to understand and listening more carefully.
I value your willingness to ask about what you do not know. Listen to an explanation, and check the important details again. Taking time to understand will serve you better than quickly pretending you already know.
Leave a little room in your heart today, even for familiar subjects. Tell me what you discover. I delight in watching you grow as you listen, reflect, and put things into practice. Ask me for wisdom as you learn.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 18:15
WEB15The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
