Never be too Proud to Learn
A story is told of two ducks and a frog that lived
happily by a farm pond. They were very good friends and would play together
every day. When the hot summer days came, however, the pond began to dry up and
it was soon evident that they would need to move. This was no problem for the
ducks, because they could easily fly to another pond but the frog was stuck. He
thought and thought until he came up with a plan. He suggested putting a stick between
the bills of each duck which he could hang onto with his mouth as they carried
him to another pond. The plan worked well--so well, in fact, that as they were
flying along a farmer looked up in admiration and said, "Well, isn't that
a clever idea! I wonder which one of you thought to do that?" The frog opened
his mouth and said, "I did..." |
They say pride comes before a fall. Indeed. Looking at the word “pride” I discovered a
profound fact: “I” is found in the centre “pride”. Sadly, so many of us fall
from God’s designed purposes for our lives because we are so consumed by our
own ego. Unfortunately we try to design our own world to revolve around
ourselves and become egocentric instead of Christocentric. It’s only when I
realise that I can do nothing of any significance by my own strength that I
realise that I can only do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

"...natural wisdom is gained from applied knowledge,
knowledge needs to be gained through humble learning with pure motives. So test
everything and never be too proud to learn."

Dear God Tracker, one way to counteract pride in our
lives is to develop a teachable spirit. You are never too old to learn. I once
interviewed a man in his 70’s for one of my radio shows who was busy writing his
a thesis for his 9th PHD. We all desire wisdom, don’t we? I believe
that natural wisdom is applied knowledge. This means that you and I can only be
wise once we have learned with understanding and experience is the best
teacher. If I am willing to humbly learn by my experiences – good and bad –
then I will become wise. The Bible tells us that wisdom from above begins with
purity (James 3:17). Purity checks the motive of the heart; it always asks the
question, “Why?” Jesus reminded us to have a childlike attitude. A child is
always eager to learn so that he can grow up to be big and strong, like his
dad.
Therefore, if natural wisdom is gained from applied
knowledge, knowledge needs to be gained through humble learning with pure
motives. So test everything and never be too proud to learn.
God-tracking is learning with a pure heart.
Blessings

Quote of the Week
A
Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes |
“We are absolutely nothing.
We have nothing to be proud of.
We have no abilities and nothing to offer God. The fact that he chooses
to use is only due to his grace. It has
nothing to do with us. If God should
raise others up for his purpose and never use us again, we should have nothing
to complain about.” --- Brother Yun

Not Lean on My Own Understanding but to Walk by
Your Wisdom
Proverbs 28:26
He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept
safe.
Pray:
“O Lord I apologise for always relying on my own
strength for wisdom. I realise that true godly wisdom can only come through life’s
lessons with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is my teacher and I submit myself today
to your lessons in life, O Lord. I repent of ego and humble myself before you.
I make a decision to always retain a teachable spirit. Teach me your will; guide
me in your righteousness and help me to keep my motives pure in every decision
I make in life. Help me to not lean on my own understanding but to walk by your
wisdom. Amen.”
