[size=large]Someone Who Will Listen[/size]
Most folk have no problem talking. If the truth be known, most of us talk too much. How much better would it be if we learned to be good listeners. There are seminars given on how to be better listeners. After all, a lot is going on around us. How important, then, for us to listen.
Read Isaiah 28:23, Matthew 15:10, and James 1:19. What are they telling us to do, and why?
Isaiah 28:23 "Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say."
Matthew 15:10 "Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand."
James 1:19 Listening and Doing "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,"
David and his men were on the run from Saul. While living in the wilderness of Paran, they met up with the herdsmen and animals of the wealthy landowner Nabal. Instead of helping themselves to the animals, David and his men protected the herdsmen and animals. At last, the sheep shearing time arrived, and a festive spirit was in the air. This was the time for saying thank you and giving gifts. Knowing this, David sent ten of his men to ask for provisions.
Read 1 Samuel 25:1
