The Way to Wisdom and Honor
"To answer before listening--that is folly and shame." Proverbs 18:13
It's so easy to talk. To interrupt. We come out of the womb yelling and screaming. Think about how much kids on the playground talk...even the quieter ones. But even as adults we see our problem.
We talk so much as if we know so much. We interrupt others because we think we know what they're going to say before they say it...until they don't. Then we feel stupid and embarrassed.
Solomon knew this. In the wisdom inspired by God, he gave us the way to wisdom and honor:
Simple.
But we know it's not.
I'm focused on this experience in 2019.
