A Teachable Spirit

"Do not be wise in your own eyes."

Proverbs 3:7

This has always been a tough one for me.  How do you handle correction?  When we are offended when we are corrected we are not mature in our faith.  Do you listen and learn from what is being said or do you take offense?  Not having a teachable spirit is a sign of pride. 

Here are some steps that have helped me:

1.  Listen:  Sit quiet and listen to what is being said.  Then ask yourself if it lines up with the Word of God and His teaching.

2.  Pray:  Pray that God will guide you and bring you clarity.  Read scripture on that particular subject.

3.  Humility:  Accept correction and consider it a blessing.  Have a repentant heart and let the Holy Spirit convict you.

I pray that we overcome our prideful nature and learn to obtain a teachable spirit.  Let's be better students of the Word.  Pray that God will grant us spiritual wisdom and spiritual maturity.
