“Think before you speak.” “We’re given two ears and one mouth.” There are various expressions that describe the importance of thinking and listening before we speak. I was reminded this past week how necessary that is.
I was feeling the pressure to write multiple blog posts and wondered how I was going to be able to come up with multiple creative topics in order to maintain fresh content for the blog. I threw up a quick prayer, asking God to give me insight and was convicted to realize that unless I take the time to listen, I won’t know what to speak about. Unless I take the time to be in His Word, I won’t be enlightened by a new perspective on a verse in the Bible.
My encouragement for you today is that you be transformed by listening – listening to God, listening to others, and even more importantly, listening to His Word. A simple reflection for Transformational Tuesday.
