Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 12:15-16 | A verse about listening and patience

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this 18th day of December. We are a week away from Christmas and we’re continuing through the book of proverbs chapter 12 verses 15 through 16 fools think their own way is right but the wise listen to advice. Fools show their anger at once, but the prudent ignore and insult, we’re really hitting some nerves here at least for me fools think their own way is right don’t we all don’t we all think that our way is right we wouldn’t be going that way we wouldn’t be stating that way if we didn’t think we were right but that’s what fools do the wise listen we listen first before we talk before we make our stance before we double down we listen to advice, because what is it really have harm to listen This is full show their anger at once, but the prudent ignore an insult. How much more peaceful would the world be if people just stopped when they heard an insult or when they felt offended or when they had feelings about something someone said or something that someone changed or some tradition that someone challenged what if we just stopped for a moment what if we listened first what if we didn’t hinge our immediate reaction on how it makes us feel instead if we were prudent if we listened if we embraced wisdom
