Talk Less, Listen More

“Keep your tongue against evil and your lips against deceptive speech”

One of the problems that is happening in the world these days is that many people tend to speak rather than listen: a little protest, a little comment, a little arguing, a little criticizing, a little reproaching, cursing or speaking harshly without regard for the feelings of others.

In essence, people prefer to talk without wanting to learn to hear others. It is written: “Life and death are ruled by the tongue, whoever likes to echo it, will eat its fruit.”

Be careful! The tongue determines much in human life, and most problems in the life of households, communities, churches and even nations often start with the tongue.

From the beginning God created man with one mouth and two ears for the purpose of hearing more than speaking, not the other way around.

Then it is very important to take care of our tongue or words. A God – fearing person will not only be able to keep his heart and mind but also his tongue.

If you speak, your words will definitely bring blessings, peace, strength, encouragement and blessing to those who hear them.

On the contrary, a man who cannot keep his tongue and likes to echo it, everywhere must be disliked by people and have many enemies, because his tongue is “like a sharpened razor,”, so many people are hurt by it, it can even become the master’s eating weapon.

By turning our ears to advice, teachings, suggestions or positive things and especially hearing God’s words, not only knowledge, wisdom and intelligence are being added, but also the blessings of God’s blessings are increasingly revealed in our lives.

“My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.”-Proverb

Loves life and wants to see good days. Watch your tongue.
