You Can Never Outgrow God: A Call to Continual Learning and Humble Wisdom

 

“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.”
—Proverbs 1:5 (KJV)

In a world that glorifies self-sufficiency and expertise, God calls His people to something radically different: continual dependence and humility before His Word. Proverbs 1:5 is not addressed to the foolish it is spoken to the wise. Even those seasoned in wisdom are told to listen and learn.

As I meditated on this passage, I was reminded of my father’s example. He never stopped learning. He constantly asked questions, sought insight, and refined his craft. His humility taught me that true wisdom is not in having all the answers, but in always being teachable.

This is exactly what Proverbs 1 reveals to us: wisdom is not static. It grows with the humble, it instructs the attentive, and it reveals itself to those who do not assume they already know.


You Can Preach for 50 Years and Still Learn Something New

It does not matter if you have preached for five decades, led thousands to Christ, or memorized entire books of Scripture. You still need the Holy Spirit to teach you anew every single day.

“The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.”
—Psalm 25:9 (KJV)

God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). Those who approach the Bible thinking they’ve “mastered it” are in danger of becoming stagnant in the Spirit. God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and it speaks in fresh ways to those who listen with open hearts.

This principle applies in a prophetic generation like ours where understanding of Scripture must be dynamic and Spirit-led. As global crises unfold, as deception increases, as technology encroaches upon truth, we need wisdom from above, not recycled assumptions from below.


End-Time Urgency Demands Teachable Hearts

We are living in prophetic times. The escalation of wars, lawlessness, and spiritual deception is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. The wise must discern not only the signs but also God’s voice in the midst of them.

“But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.”
—Matthew 25:4 (KJV)

The parable of the ten virgins reminds us: not all who appear ready actually are. The wise were prepared because they were attentive and watchful. This generation needs believers who do not think they have arrived, but who remain alert, humble, and teachable.

You cannot afford to stop learning in this hour. To be wise in your own eyes is spiritual blindness.

“Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”
—Isaiah 5:21 (KJV)


What Is God Showing You Today?

Let this be your daily question in prayer: “Lord, what are You teaching me today?”
There is always more. There are deeper revelations, hidden wisdom, and convicting truths waiting to be revealed.

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
—Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)

Never stop listening. Never stop growing. Never stop seeking His wisdom. Let God show you something new something you need today.


A Call to Repentance

If pride has crept into your walk with God, if you’ve assumed you know enough or grown cold to correction, it’s time to repent. God is not finished teaching you. He is not done transforming you.

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.”
—2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV)

The wise do not cling to credentials they cling to Christ. Return to a posture of humility before the Lord, and ask Him to break up the hardness in your heart so that His truth can flow again.


The Gospel of Jesus Christ

All have sinned.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
—Romans 3:23 (KJV)

Sin brings death.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
—Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus paid the price.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
—Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Confess and believe.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
—Romans 10:9 (KJV)


Final Thoughts

God’s Word is not a textbook to be mastered it is a living fountain to be revisited, daily and with reverence. You can never outgrow God. You can never outlearn Him. The greatest threat to spiritual growth is spiritual pride.

So ask yourself today:
Am I still teachable?
Am I still listening?
Am I still letting God show me new things?

May we never graduate from the school of the Spirit.
Because wisdom does not end it deepens. And God is still speaking.

Are you still learning?
