L-I-S-T-E-N

How many of *y'all know someone that thinks that they know it all? I mean anytime you try to explain anything to them, they always cut you off with, “I Know! I heard you! or I already know...!” This person never lets you finish what you were trying to say. How many of *y'all are frustrated with this? How many of *y'all know that this person really doesn’t know it all? Because anyone that knows anything will tell you that the first lesson to knowledge is learning how to listen. A knowledgeable person knows when to speak and when to be quiet. The Lord gave us all two ears and one mouth for a reason. Could you imagine if we all had two mouths and one ear? There would be nothing but I-know-it-alls walking around everywhere, and no one would ever hear anything.
If you are one of those, I-know-it-all people then you need to shut your mouth, be quiet, zip your lips, and hush! Everyone knows that you don’t, in fact, know it all, because you don’t even know how to listen. If you are one of the ones who is trying to get through to a I-know-it-all person; please don’t argue with them. If you try to talk to them and they refuse to listen to you, then do what Jesus said for the disciples to do, "If you go to a town and they reject me, don’t welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet. (Mark 6:10-12).” In other words, if they don’t listen -STEP! Don’t stand there and beat them over the head with the WORD! The WORD is powerful enough. You don’t have to jump up and down or do back flips to get them to hear it. Anyway trust me, I’ve learned from past experiences that the Lord has his own eye-opening ways of getting I-Know-it-alls to listen to his every WORD.



Can anyone out there relate to this?


Be Blessed *Y'all.
