TODAY’S TOPIC: The attributes of a Good listener 

Text: Proverb 18:10-15 (NIV)


"18:10. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

18:11. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall.

18:12. Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

18:13. He who answers before listening--that is his folly and his shame.

18:14. A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?

18:15. The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out."



SHOWER (Reflection):

According to today's scriptural passage, a good listener pays attention to details. He/She thinks before replying. A good listener goes to whom or where to learn; not where  to teach. It is the heart that discerns that learns so fast. Do not be proud. It is when you hear or listens well that you can answer or do things perfectly.
