The Power Of Listening

Listening seems to be a perishing skill.

That might not be more apparent than a visit to your local health clinic. While the staff at our's is very nice, come in with anything outside of the box, you might as well start googling on your own. Ask for alternatives, you might as well start googling on your own. Ask them something not listed on their screen, you’ll see a “are you speaking” look on their faces.

But it’s not just there. With more information at our fingertips, people seem less inquisitive. I see this traveling as I steel glances at people’s “smart” phones and observe that most of their time is spent numbing their minds.

Listening is powerful. The secret to your relationship problems, family issues, business difficulties, might be as simple as shutting up and listening to someone.

James 1:19 – “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
