PROVERBS 18:13
IF ONE GIVES AN ANSWER BEFORE HE HEARS, IT IS HIS FOLLY AND SHAME.”

I love how God’s Word is so practical. I read this Scripture this morning and I so identified with it. I often speak before I hear!!! Do you know what I mean? I’ve been in conversations with people where I’m not EVEN listening to what they are saying because I’m already thinking of what I am going to say in response!!! Now, how can I know what my response should be if I’m not even listening to what the other person is saying? OR I’ve been in situations where I just blatantly interrupt people and begin to say whatever it is that I want to say!!!! And yes, I’ve embarrassed myself many a time doing this. Again, may I LISTEN more than I SPEAK!
