Psalm 119:133 - "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me."

Words are the foundation by which we receive instruction. But if you don’t deem a person important, their words won’t be important. If you believe that your parents should be honored it’s easy to hear their instruction. If you believe that you should honor those in authority, you are in line to hear their instruction and benefit from it. It’s only when you give no honor to the people above you that you don’t allow them to instruct you and dishonor their words. If you are not open to instruction you are not open to growth.

Who do you have in your life whose words should carry more weight? What thinking do you have that is limiting them from helping you with the instruction or wisdom they could give you?
