  4. Good morning to everyone:
    PROVERBS 18:

    LISTEN: I will listen before i speak, by listening intentionally, giving the speaker my full attention, focusing on what is been said, without interruption restraining myself even if I am tempted to speak. I will keep in my heart.
    PROVERBS 18:13. He who gives an answer before he hears it is folly and shame to him.

    INQUIRE: I will seek to understand more deeply, by asking the holy spirit to help me, by asking questions, studying the word,

    GUARD: I will guard my words being careful, being slow to speak, reminding my self that my words are powerful, it has the power to give life and it can also destroy. So I will use my words wisely choosing to empower and build up others.

    Hello ladies,

    As I reflect on proverbs 18:2 there are times I don’t seek understanding in the word. I’d just read the word just to read it and essentially I am being foolish because I could easily come up with my own opinion without doing a deep dive into what I’m reading.

    This scripture reminded me to continue to utilize my resources and continue to study the word.

    “Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions.”
    ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    E – Examine πŸ”Ž (Proverbs 18:6–7)
    πŸ‘‰ “These verses challenged me to examine my attitude about speaking on matters I don’t fully understand. A foolish mouth invites trouble, but a wise one stays quiet until it’s time to speak.”

    A – Acknowledge 🀲 (Proverbs 18:17)
    πŸ‘‰ “I acknowledge my need for God’s help to remember that there are two sides to every situation. Quick judgments can be misleading. I want to pause and seek clarity before forming opinions.”

    N – Name πŸ“ (Proverbs 18:1)
    πŸ‘‰ “One action I can take today to grow in wisdom is to listen more to sound counsel rather than isolating myself in my own understanding.”

    I – Intend 🎯 (Proverbs 18:4)
    πŸ‘‰ “Today, I intend to use my words to build, not break. I want to speak wisely and selectively, because wise words are like deep waters—refreshing, intentional, and life-giving.”

    N – Notice πŸ‘️ (Proverbs 18:24)
    πŸ‘‰ “I noticed God’s wisdom at work when I became more discerning about who I allow into my inner circle. True friendship is a gift, and a friend who sticks closer than a brother is a blessing worth waiting for.”

By God's grace, I will have a discerning heart and ears that seek wisdom: "the heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out." Proverbs 18:15
