Proverbs 24:32 “I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw.”
An observant person is continually learning.  A wise person is both continually learning and applying.  A Christian observant and wise person is always asking the question–what does my Heavenly Father think of what I am observing?  There is never an arrogance but rather a humility in the continual lessons learned and applied.
