Listen to Advise

"The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advise" (Prov. 12:15, ESV).

Sometimes we make our lives more difficult because we fail to listen.  There are probably times where we all think we know the best course of action, but we have not really considered everything carefully.  Sometimes it's pure stubbornness on our part.

Solomon warns us, "the way of a fool is right in his own eyes."  When we begin to think that we can do no wrong, it tends to stop up our ears. When we stop hearing advise, we become fools.

The wise man, "listens to advise."  We need to be those who listen to advise.  The key to wisdom is humility.  Humility paves the way to seeking advise and listening to it.
