Listening To Hear

There are issues for us today as believers. Many, many issues, relating to life and what transpires daily in it. In fact, life regularly swells up like a an overflowing river, and the banks of our lives cannot contain all that comes. This can be particularly true in the case of people speaking what is on their minds. It is good to share with one another, but can it be that there is too much sharing? I do not propose to have the answer. It is true that I have been on both the receiving and the giving end of too much talking in too short a period of time. And there does appear to be a scripture that addresses this point.

Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

So, yes there can be too much speaking. But how much is too much? Is it always the same? I do not have the answer, but I may have an answer. When the words are overwhelming for the listener, then it is too much. My guess is, that varies for many reasons. The only logical conclusion I can come to is that this area, like the rest of our walks, has to be done in communion with our Father. He alone can give us perfect guidance in this matter. We must spend time with Him to truly know.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. We thank the name Yahuah (Lord) for all You do. Send us Your overwhelming provision today. Forgive us when we mess up. Heal us and deliver us. And come quickly. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
