Proverbs 18

To answer before listening—    that is folly and shame. v13

I am seeking to learn as much as I can today in my classes at UVA and concerned about a couple of assignments coming up.  This verse is helpful for me as I need to listen.  A similar instruction is provided by James:

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

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You listen to me intently no matter when I come to You - You are always there.  Unfortunately, I often speak before listening and I even did that yesterday.  Thank You for loving me anyway.  Please forgive me for not listening and also help me listen and learn.  Help me be more like you.  Help me do well on my class assignments today.,
