3 Bible Tips: Listening
1. By listening to those with wisdom, we can become wiser.
"Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it" (Proverbs 8:33; this includes listening to our parents, not tuning them out—Proverbs 23:22).
2. Some things we shouldn't listen to.
"Also do not take to heart everything people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you" (Ecclesiastes 7:21).
3. We should be a lot quicker to hear than to speak.
"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath" (James 1:19).
