James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
Before we say anything, we should listen to what people are saying first. That’s right; be swift to hear and slow to speak.
Listening will help us hear what is taking place. Listening will show us what is going on in the heart of man. Because what is in the heart will come out through their words.
Matthew 15:18 (NKJV) 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.
When people speak and we are listening, we will then hear what is going on and we can address the root of it, as we also listen and wait on the Holy Spirit to help us bring guidance and direction.
We need to listen if we want to be of some help to anyone.
Be swift to hear and then act accordingly.
