Be Quick to Listen and Slow to Speak

It seems as if almost everybody these days is quick to have their opinions known to the world on a whole host of topics via social media. And while you should never be afraid to share yours, regardless of how politically incorrect they may be, it is vital that you always remember that God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. The Bible says that the “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18:21). Take time before providing your “two cents,” especially if the conversation gets heated. And remember that once something is said, it is very hard to take it back. Choose your words wisely and consider how what you say may affect others; ask yourself if God would approve of what you are about to say or write. That is always a good test.
