Slow to
Speak Quick To Hear
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19)
Today’s Morsel:
One of the mistakes of many folks is they listen to answer instead of listening
to hear. If a person interrupts you when you are talking, they are not
listening to hear, they are listening to answer. I believe that one of
the reasons many folks take a longer time to recover from their troubles is due
to the same reason. They are not listening to hear. James
admonishes us, “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let
every man be swift to hear…” Do you listen rather than interrupt someone else?
What did you miss because you were not listening because you already thought
you knew the answer? I am sure you have heard the adage, “I know you
think you understood what I said, but I am not sure that you understood what I
meant.” There is an old Chinese Proverb which
states, “Be quicker of mind than of tongue.” If you want to learn things,
learn to listen, and you will be surprised what you may learn.
Sing: I
can hear my Savior calling. I can hear my Savior calling. I can hear my Savior
calling, Follow, follow Me.
Thought For Today: “Be
quicker of mind than of tongue.”
