Scripture: A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. Proverbs 18:2 ESV Application: Ever dealt with a person who speaks before fully listening to you? (Is this person sometimes yourself?) It's like trying to get a stone wall to consider what is on its backside. It doesn't budge. There could be a magnificently beautiful park filled with manicured hedges, fruit trees, flowers, birds, gentle brooks, and rolling hills. But that stone wall enjoys none of it. Seeing the other side is something that Ms. or Mr. Stoney Wall never experiences. Not until, like the wall, they crumble. Prayer: Lord, work on us first. Soften our hearts so that we hear and respect the other side of every disagreement. Help us show others the beauty of listening before speaking. Amen. Comments are closed.
