Let Scripture Lead You

Main message: Don't be "wise in your own eyes" — practice humility by listening to God, Scripture, and others instead of reacting out of pride or emotion. Slow down and choose obedience over impulsive self-assurance.

Key points:

• The speaker daily reads Scripture (often Proverbs) and expects God to highlight a verse for guidance.
• A Proverbs verse stood out: warning against being wise in one's own eyes.
• A personal driving anecdote illustrated the temptation to react in pride and the Spirit's prompting to "slow it down."
• The application is to heed Scripture and wise counsel, not immediate emotions or self-confidence.
• Humility and attentiveness to God prevent harmful impulsive actions.

Scriptures mentioned: Proverbs (quoted: "Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.")
