Not Judging Fast
"He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him."Proverbs 18:13
Reflection
Answering before hearing the whole story is a recipe for embarrassment. Asking more and concluding less is a good habit.
Prayer
Lord, teach me to listen to the end. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why is answering before hearing everything foolish?
- How can asking more questions help?
- When did you jump to a conclusion?
