At times it’s difficult to keep our opinions to ourselves. The Bible equips us with ways to respond with a heart of submission, even when we don't agree with the leadership. We learn from Scripture the foolishness of assuming that our opinions or insights are more important than others.

Our natural instinct is to look out for #1 - to satisfy our needs. Whereas, the Bible teaches us that the ability to put others' interests before our own ambitions is a sign of spiritual maturity and Godly wisdom.

Integrity is an integral part of wisdom. To live with integrity means that there will be times when you will need to go against your instincts, or check your initial thoughts before acting, according to the Scriptures.

Just because something is commonly held as good or right, doesn’t mean that it’s true. When we get to a place that what is right for me is not right for you, we lean into biased versions of truth. Fear, respect, and love of God is the foundation of wisdom.
