The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. (Proverbs 10:8)
When we think we know everything and don’t need to listen to other people, we are usually headed for trouble. Are we a ‘talker’? If we are, we need to seriously ask ourselves if we can learn from this proverb. The wise listen, accept, acknowledge and adjust. The fool just keeps talking. This also applies to all of our relationships. Do we listen to our spouse, children, family, friends, co-workers, etc…? If we don’t listen, we are going to miss out on so many things we could learn from them, and our relationships in life will be far less satisfying as a result. This also applies to God’s Word. Do we regularly read it in order to ponder, learn and adjust our lives accordingly? If you don’t, you really are missing out on becoming the ‘ultimate you’.
