Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise. – Proverbs 19:20

Brothers and Sisters, our verse for today can be likened to a guiding light for us in the darkness of life. Embracing advice and correction is not just pathway to wisdom and understanding, it is a mark of true humility. Just as a sculptor shapes a rough stone into a masterpiece, accepting discipline helps mold our character and refine our spirits. It’s through humility and openness to learning that we grow into the best versions of ourselves.

In the journey of life, we encounter challenges and obstacles that test our strength and resilience. However, by heeding advice and welcoming correction, we equip ourselves with the tools needed to navigate these trials with grace and wisdom. Remember, it’s not about being perfect but about the willingness to learn and improve. Each lesson learned, each correction accepted, brings us closer to the wisdom that shines brightly in the hearts of the truly wise.

God is counting on us to embrace the wisdom in these words, knowing that through humility and a teachable spirit, we can ascend to greater heights of understanding and insight. May we walk the path of growth and enlightenment, guided by the light of knowledge and the warmth of God. Let us be like the wise ones, who listen, learn, and emerge stronger and wiser from every experience.
