DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 19; Jeremiah 52; 1 Timothy 3
Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye people, from far. Isaiah 49:1
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23
Listening may be the most loving thing I do today. By listening I learn and never get into trouble. The tongue has almost infinite potential for trouble, so speak softly and wisely. God made us with two ears but only one tongue. Bite your tongue before it bites others. Gossip ends at a wise person’s ears. —Milton Haack
Master, speak! Thy servant heareth,
Waiting for Thy gracious word,
Longing for Thy voice that cheereth;
Master! let it now be heard.
—Frances R. Havergal
