"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." - Proverbs 9:10

1: The way you respond matters. 2: You must all be quick to listen, 3: slow to speak, 4: and slow to get angry. - James 1:19 5: Wisdom listens first. Humility pauses before responding. A Spirit-led person refuses to let anger lead the conversation.

1: Pride will cost you more than you think. 2: Pride looks like: “I don’t need God for this.” “I already know.” “I can handle it on my own.” 3: Pride slowly hardens the heart, resists correction, and pushes God’s wisdom aside. 4: But choosing humility will help you listen, grow, and depend on God. 5: Before pride leads to a fall, choose humility. God can do more with a surrendered heart.

Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life - Proverbs 10:17
