Proverbs 8:33
Proverbs 8:33
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
"Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not" reminds us of the importance of actively seeking and accepting wisdom. We are called not just to hear instructions but to accept and apply them. Wisdom is offered to us daily through God's Word, the counsel of others, and life experiences. Refusing to listen to wise instruction means missing out on the opportunity to grow in understanding and maturity. This verse teaches us that wisdom is not automatic; it requires intentional listening and application. As we receive and follow godly instruction, we are led down the path of wisdom, making choices that align with God's will for our lives.
Isaiah 50:5
The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
1 Samuel 3:10
And Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
Matthew 17:5
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
