LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS
In a Bible study I team-teach on Thursday nights, we are studying the early history of the people of God in the books of Joshua and Judges and I and II Samuel.
Someone commented this week about how God’s people don’t seem to learn. They keep making the same mistakes, going down the wrong path over and over again. Like many of us, we noted.
Eleanor Roosevelt reminds us to learn from the mistakes of others.
Those of us who work in business are wise when we note the errors of our competitors and have the discipline not to make the same mistakes they made.
Those of us in relationships will be wise as well when we observe the consequences of mistakes we have made or we are seeing others make.
