Listening Makes You Wise

📖 Bible Verse:
“Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.” — Proverbs 12:15

🕊️ Story / Reflection:

Have you ever tried to build something without reading the instructions?
Maybe a toy or a puzzle—and it didn’t turn out right? Sometimes we think we know everything, and we don’t want to listen.
But the Bible says wise people listen to God, to parents, to teachers, and to people who care about them. 

When we listen, we learn.
When we listen, we avoid mistakes.
When we listen, we become wiser and stronger! 

Listening is not just hearing words—it means paying attention and being willing to follow good advice.
Listening is a superpower that helps us grow!

💡 Lesson:
Listening is one of the keys to wisdom. Wise kids listen and learn!

🙏 Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank You for giving me ears to listen and a heart to learn.
Help me to listen carefully to You and to the people You’ve placed in my life.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

When we listen to God and others, we grow in wisdom and walk in His way every day
