Don’t Correct What You Haven’t Tried to Understand

Bible Hack: Learn what shaped someone’s decision before assuming you already know why they made it.

Scripture: Proverbs 20:5: “The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.”

Explanation: People’s motives, fears, and experiences often sit beneath what you can immediately see. Understanding requires patient questions that bring deeper information to the surface.

Simple Action: Ask one person, “What led you to that decision?” before offering your opinion.

You can’t draw out deep water with a shallow question.
