Shut up and listen! (sometimes)

I’ve been thinking a lot recently that I need to be a better listener…

I feel like with some friends I talk more, and with some I listen more.

So, I’ve been pondering: who do I need to listen to more?

  • The holy spirit
  • My family
  • My friends (you)

Pretty much… everyone!

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecclesiastes 3:1,7b (ESV)

But I like the way The Message says it better…

A right time to shut up and another to speak up,
Ecclesiastes 3:7b (MSG)

Basically, I just need to shut up more.
