✨ A simple daily reflection to help us listen
more carefully to God and to one another.
_________________________________________
Welcome, dear sisters — thank you for taking a few moments in your busy day to pause, listen, and grow in wisdom together.
Last week we reflected on how we listen through the book of Proverbs. Some of us noticed we listen carefully, others quickly, and sometimes with distraction or resistance.
This week we will continue the journey by reflecting on W.I.S.E. Listening.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
March 8 — Day 67
📖 Today’s Proverb: Proverbs 1:5
- Let the wise hear and increase in learning.
The W.I.S.E. Listening Styles
Four ways people tend to listen:
⚖️ W — Weigh the truth
👂 I — Interpret the meaning
❤️ S — Sense the heart
➡️ E — Execute the wisdom
Over the next several days we will reflect on each of these together.
Please try to follow the reflections day by day, rather than reading everything at once, so you can pause and allow the Lord to speak to you along the way.
For today, pause for a moment and consider:
Which part of W.I.S.E. feels most natural to you right now?
⚖️ W — Weigh the truth
👂 I — Interpret the meaning
❤️ S — Sense the heart
➡️ E — Execute the wisdom
Simply post the letter (W.I.S. OR E) that comes to mind in the chat.
Ladies, LISTEN, that's it for today! Come back tomorrow God willing to continue.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
March 9 — Day 68
⚖️ W — Weigh the Truth
📖 Today’s Proverb: Proverbs 14:15
- “The simple believes everything,
but the prudent gives thought to his steps.”
Some listeners naturally weigh what they hear.
They pause and ask:
- Is this wise?
- Is this true?
- Does it align with God’s Word?
Reflect — Choose one
1️⃣ When I hear advice or instruction, do I take time to weigh it carefully?
2️⃣ Do I compare what I hear with Scripture and godly wisdom?
3️⃣ Who in my life models this kind of discerning listening?

👂 I — Interpret the Meaning
📖 Today’s Proverb: Proverbs 2:2
- “Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
incline your heart to understanding.”
Some listeners pause before responding. They want to understand the message fully—its meaning, context, and intent.
Reflect — Choose one
1️⃣ Do I seek to understand fully before responding?
2️⃣ Do I sometimes assume I understand when I may not?
3️⃣ How might slowing down help me listen more wisely?

March 11 — Day 70
❤️ S — Sense the Heart
📖 Today’s Proverb: Proverbs 15:28
- “The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer.”
Some listeners notice tone, emotions, and what may be unspoken. They sense the heart behind the words.
Reflect — Choose one
1️⃣ When someone speaks, do I notice their feelings or tone?
2️⃣ Do people feel heard when they talk with me?
3️⃣ Who in my life listens with compassion and care?

March 12 — Day 71
➡️ E — Execute the Wisdom
📖 Today’s Proverb: Proverbs 1:33
- “But whoever listens to me will dwell securely
and will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
In Scripture, listening often leads to obedience. When wisdom is clear, wise listeners respond.
Reflect — Choose one
1️⃣ When God speaks through His Word, do I move toward obedience?
2️⃣ Do I delay acting on wisdom I already understand?
3️⃣ What might God be inviting me to do with what I have heard?
