Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
The ability to listen is a powerful ally, and can save much embarrassment.
Wisdom teaches us to listen, and it serves everyone involved. The person doing the speaking is able to work at articulating their case or situation. This process serves as a teaching agent and builds trust between the parties involved.
The person or people listening gain much more than mere information, because listening is not only hearing words, but also accurately interpreting urgency, emotion, and so many other non-verbal cues. Effectively listening to others allowing the Spirit of God to guide you shows great wisdom.
“And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.” (2 Timothy 4:18), ‘Faith‘
