LISTEN(a reminder)
Proverbs 19:20
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
One of the greatest attributes of leaders is humility and it always comes with the patience to listen.
No matter how much we know and no matter how high the experience there is an advantage in choosing to listen.
Ofcourse what we hear may not be of importance all the time, yet being able to listen could save us a lot of headaches and stress.
In line with this, it is important to listen to God and we know that he speaks to us through
* His word
* His Spirit living in us
* people
John 8:43
"Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
Psalms 62:11
God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.
We don't have the power to predict all things but we do have the will to choose to listen to those above us, below us and those with us. The Holy Spirit then helps us discern the right direction and also the wisdom to know the action to be taken.
Proverbs 1:33
but whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil."
Jesus as a man learnt to listen from his child age
Luke 2:46
Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
Some have foolishly sought after soothsayers and diviners, but God has not appointed those for His children.(Some have even turned their pastors to such). He knows that no matter how it plays out the seeker always looses.
Deutronomy 18:14
"For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.
Do you know that not listening could become a habit. Do you still listen to your
* spouse
* parents
* children
Really there are things we can refuse to listen to
* gossips
* backbiting
* negative confession
* vulgar talk
* pessimism
* incantations
* discouragement
and many more
I see us listening to the right things and the right people. The gift to discern will rest upon us, we will not err.
Do have a wonderful day.
We are blessed.
Love
