DAY 15 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
Listen Before Answering
Wisdom resists conclusions formed before careful listening.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 18:13, 17
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
The first account can sound persuasive until another perspective is heard. Humility gathers truth before speaking with certainty.
Reflect
Where have I formed a judgment from incomplete information?
Respond
Ask one sincere clarifying question before offering your opinion.
Pray
God of truth, slow my conclusions and teach me to listen with fairness.
