Scripture Verse that caught my attention today: Job 13:5 If you would only keep silent,
that would be your wisdom!
Observation: Job had had enough of listening to his friends wax on and on.
Application: Many of us can probably relate to this passage, not just in terms of others, but even of ourselves. How often have we wished that we could take back what we’ve said, kept in the mind what unfortunately came out of our mouths? It is just as wise (and perhaps even wiser) to know what NOT to say as it is to know what to say. This is best learned one day and conversation at a time.
Prayer: Lord, help us to listen more before we speak, ultimately striving to listen to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
(Readings today included: Job 13-14 and Acts 17-18)
