Wisdom in Hearing

  Verse of the Month:

“… Love one another as I have loved you …” John 13:34

 February 1-7
 
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 13:13
 
 Wisdom in Hearing
When I was a child my Dad would say, "No one ever got into trouble listening."  In other words, he was saying to listen and keep your mouth shut, but he said it in a more tactful way.
Proverbs 13:1-3 gives us instruction from the Heavenly Father on listening.  A wise son listens and gains knowledge that will give life, but one that constantly opens his lips will eventually have destruction. 
A wise son heeds his father’s instruction,
But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth,
But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.
He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.


A wise son (child) not only hears the instruction, but he takes the information given to heart and keeps quiet; he is not easily provoked into arguments. Learn to be a wise child and listen without being offended (vs. 13). 


Whoever despises the Word will be destroyed, but those who respect and do it will be rewarded.
 
Weekly Memory Verse:  Proverbs 13:13

“He who despises the Word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.”
