"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil."
Proverbs 3:7
This is a good reminder. I like the idea here which is basically that we get ourselves into most of our trouble. :) If we can be humble and listen to the Lord, we would be saved from a lot of things, because we would hear the Spirit when it tells us to walk away.
Even when it isn't evil, I think that our overconfidence in ourselves causes problems that we don't really have to have. Not that we should be doormats or opinionless, of course, but often we're so sure that we're right when we're really not, and a little dose of humility could go a long way in helping us listen more and appreciate the opinions and contributions of others.
Today, let's remember that God is much wiser than we are, and let's try to take a step back and think about the choices that we are making. Let's be more open to God's guidance and to appreciating the ideas of others.
