The Gift of Wise Listening

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this transformative journey into wise listening. In a world rushing to be heard, listening is often overshadowed by the urge to speak first. Yet, the Bible highlights wisdom not just in words spoken, but in silence and attentive ears.

Wise listening is more than just hearing; it’s an intentional, humble posture that invites God's guidance and opens our hearts to others. James 1:19 reminds us, "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." This teaches us that true wisdom includes patience, self-control, and a deep respect for the voices around us.

As you engage in this three-day study, you’ll uncover practical and spiritual insights on how to develop wise listening as a gift. You’ll learn why listening first creates space for God’s wisdom to flow and how this transforms your relationships and decision-making.

Let’s embark on this enriching encounter with God’s Word and grow into the listeners He calls us to be, cultivating peace, understanding, and grace in our daily lives. Be open, be still, and watch how wisdom begins to shape your words and actions.
