Swift to Hear and Slow to Speak

DAY 2 OF 3

Be Ready To Listen.

“Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.” Proverbs‬ ‭8:33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Hear and receive instruction. Be wise and surrender to God’s way of doing things. Surrender your heart to Christ and submit your will to His way. Let Christ lead your heart and actions. 

Choose to listen to what God’s Word has to say about your situation. Don’t do things your way. Don’t handle the circumstance your way. Choose His way. Study His way. Trust His way. 

Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Trust His Word. Cling to, adhere. and listen to His Word. Follow Christ. 

Psalms‬ ‭95:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:” Listen to His voice. Harden not your heart. The day you hear His voice—harden not your heart. Let your heart receive what God has to say. Surrender to Him and follow His path. Stay ready and listen to what God has to say.
