Written by Ken Boa, a contemporary author and founder of Reflections Ministry.
Make a conscious effort to listen more than you speak. Seek the advice of those who have more experience or different perspectives than your own. Practice humility by acknowledging and addressing your mistakes. Pray for the wisdom to lead with humility and the courage to listen to wise counsel. Ask God to help you mend any divisions in your life and to guide you in being a peacemaker, just as Christ calls us to be.
But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. [1 Kings 12:8]
