How often do we find ourselves chomping at the bit with something to say. I know I find myself sometimes in a conversation with someone, but unable to concentrate on what that person is saying due to the thoughts about what I am going to say next taking over my mind. Why do I do that? We were given two ears and one mouth for a reason; so that we can listen twice as much as we talk.
I encourage you to read James 1 today. Towards the end of the chapter, we are left with perhaps some of the best advice in all of the bible. We are told to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
Wow, what would our world be like if we actually followed those three steps.
Stop a listen today......
