Job answered:
“I’m speechless, in awe—words fail me.
I should never have opened my mouth!
I’ve talked too much, way too much.
I’m ready to shut up and listen.”
1 CORINTHIANS 13:12 (CEB)
Now we see a reflection in a mirror; then we will see face-to-face. Now I know partially, but then I will know completely in the same way that I have been completely known.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Since our current knowledge is incomplete it would behove us to talk less and listen more to what God is saying?
DAILY FODDER
What generally happens when we talk more than we listen?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for revealing enough of yourself and your will that we can trust you. You already know that I know less than I think I do. Help me to live humbly in the face of this reality. It's only as we acknowledge our limitations that our knowledge matures. I'm looking forward to hearing more of what Christ Jesus says. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
