![]() JAMES 1:19 NLT 19 My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. You learn by listening -- not by talking. The biggest barrier to learning is thinking you already know a subject. If you think you already know everything, it is difficult to learn anything more. You can learn from every person -- if you will just listen to what they have to say. Everyone knows something you do not know. Pride robs you from learning from others. Pride keeps you ignorant -- while making you think you are wise. ROMANS 1:22 NLT 22 Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. This is not to say you should accept everything you hear as truth -- just that you should be humble enough, and respect people enough, to listen and evaluate what they have to say. Listen and learn. PROVERBS 17:27-28 ICB 27 The person who has knowledge says very little. And a person with understanding stays calm. 28 Even a foolish person seems to be wise if he keeps quiet. He appears to have understanding if he doesn't speak. Proud people act as if they have a duty to display their superior knowledge to all who will listen. They are quick to speak, because they "know" they are right. PROVERBS 10:19 ICB 19 If you talk a lot, you are sure to sin. If you are wise, you will keep quiet. It is not wrong to talk -- just don't talk too much. And don't be so anxious to impress people with what you know. SAY THIS: I will be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. A Bible Devotion
