From the Old Testament prophets, we learn that God is not pleased with people who are arrogant and stiff-necked, insistent on going their own way. Teachability, a willingness to listen, to heed, and to obey, is what he seeks. In Proverbs, we read much about wisdom. We all know intelligent, highly educated people who are not at all teachable. Sometimes, ironically, the very fact of a lot of schooling may be a big block to teachability.
Pride is probably the underlying obstacle to teachability.
Pride keeps me closed to the possibility that another person has something to say which might legitimately challenge my established ways of doing things. Pride is what keeps me smug with myself as I am, unwilling to pay any respectful attention to another point of view. Describe some attitudes which block the seed of God's Word from growing in the soil of your life. Focus on Jesus' words to Peter, the frustrated fisherman, in Luke 5, Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch. Pray with and for each other throughout the week.
