Wisdom from Proverbs: Listening

A fool finds no pleasure in understanding

but delights in airing his own opinions.

He who answers before listening—

that is his folly and his shame. (Proverbs 18:2, 13 NIV84)

Lord I confess I am quick to speak and share my opinion rather than listen first. Please humble me to listen to others and to you Father and counselor. Please put this on my heart and the heart of students in InterVarsity. Let us not be proud but seek to respect and learn from each other and from you. For you have a word for us if we would but listen.
Amen
