Are you a learner? Are you striving to further your knowledge and gain understanding? Or are you just passively living your life, hoping you'll absorb by osmosis the wisdom around you?
Godly people and successful people have this in common:
they live intentionally.
A wise man shall hear, and increase in learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
(Proverbs 1:5-6)
You don't gain much knowledge just by listening. You have to actively listen, intentionally gain wisdom,seek understanding. It doesn't just happen. It takes work.
Will you live intentionally today?
