Wisdom Begins With Reverence

Wisdom begins by remembering that you are not the center of all knowledge.

Proverbs connects wisdom with reverence for God. Reverence is not panic; it is a posture of humility before a reality larger than our preferences.

We become more teachable when we stop treating our first impression as the whole truth. Wisdom invites us to listen, learn, and revise.

Notice one place where you may be assuming too much. Ask a question that would help you understand before you judge.
