"Reverence for the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. The rewards of wisdom come to all who obey him" -- Psalm 11:10 / New Living Translation
Whether you are twenty-one or a hundred and twenty, you still have a lot to learn. Even if you are very wise, God isn't finished with you yet, and he isn't finished teaching you important lessons about life here on earth and life eternal.
God does not intend for you to remain stuck in one place, far from it! God wants you to continue growing as a person and as a Christian every day that you live And make no mistake: Both spiritual and intellectual growth are possible during every stage of life, during the happiest days or the hardest ones.
Your Bible contains powerful prescriptions for overcoming tough times. When you study God's Word and live according to His scriptures, adversity becomes a practical instruction. While you are enduring difficult days, you learn lessons you simply could not have leaned any other way. And when you learn these lessons, you will serve as a shining example to your friends, to your family and to the world.

Lord, let us listen carefully to You. When we listen we learn. Let us become a better listener today that we were yesterday, and let us become an even better listener tomorrow
