Watch it......

James 1:19 KJV
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

I have heard someone somewhere say that the reason why God gave us two ears, two eyes and one mouth is that we are supposed to listen and observe twice as much as we speak. If only we could learn this golden rule, how less complex our lives would be. Wars have been fought, homes have been broken, lives have been wrecked as a result of improper use of the tongue. Lives have also been saved, destinies fulfilled, and souls saved as a result of proper use of the senses given to us by God. It then means that the end- product of our lives is in our hands. We determine what we get by the things we do or don't do.

As we go out today, let us watch our lives, our conduct, our conversation and the company that we keep. Learn to listen closely and observe carefully; you only know as much as your human mind permits, and because you are not God, motives cannot be known unless God reveals them to you. Listen, observe and speak less; you live longer that way and your live makes more impact that way. His time of favour is here.
