Key Scripture
Proverbs 9:9
Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still.
Devotional
The ability to teach others should never make us difficult to teach.
Wisdom remains responsive to instruction. Growth stops when pride convinces us we have moved beyond correction.
Those who disciple others need accountability, community, and places where they can ask questions honestly.
Being corrected does not erase your calling. It can protect and mature it.
Stay humble enough to receive what you hope others will receive from you.
Heart Check
How do you typically respond when someone offers correction?
Practice Today
- Ask a mature person for honest feedback.
- Listen without immediately defending yourself.
- Identify one adjustment you can make.
Prayer
Father, keep me teachable. Protect me from pride and defensiveness. Give me wisdom to receive correction, grow in maturity, and lead others from a humble heart. Amen.
