Proverbs 14
Last week and the week before that I posted about how how words flow from the heart and how words can be used to build one another up and to encourage others, or to tear others down.
This morning I am reminded about how it is important to listen.
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry[.] James 1:19
People listened to me expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel. Job 29:21
Be still, and know that I am God[.] Psalm 46:10
My Prayer: Lord, I know that You are God and that You are in control. I am thankful for this because I mess things up - if I do things my way I mess things up. Please forgive me for too often doing things my way. Help me overcome my sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects from chemo. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin...and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips of the wise protect them. v3
