"Pride ends in destruction; humility ends in honor. What a shame-yes, how stupid!-to decide before knowing the facts! (Prov 18:12-13 TLB) Things are not always as they appear or how they are first presented! There is usually much more to be learned and many more facts to discover. Don't jump to conclusions before hearing the full matter. Who does that?
PRAYER: Lord, continually instruct us in the ways of humility and keep pride far from us. Help us to be quick to listen, slow to judge and both with wisdom. Amen!
James 1:19-21. . . . Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
RSV
