I opened up my bible again to proverbs 17 and instantly I think God wants me to see something that I didn't see as very important yesterday. So I read it again and I see something that is very involved in my life.
Even fools seem to be wise if they keep quiet; if they don't speak, they appear understand. That was the last verse of chapter 17. That is understandable, listening is a very important thing, and the best part is it makes people think your wise. LOL. Anyway how does listening show wisdom I thought of 1 big reason. People trying to be "popular", has anyone heard of that term. And the main reason these "popular" people are popular is because they run their mouth and want to be the show. Those people are popular in school but once they get older and there are more mature people they start to look dumb and not cool and funny. Eventually they wont have any friends. Listening is one of the most important things. Have you ever seen someone do something that you think is wrong and you go talk to them about it and they listen. You instantly think wow that was cool and instantly you feel good about whatever you said and it builds relationship,and reputation, and it shows wisdom.
