“Moshe paid attention to his father-in-law’s counsel and did everything he said.“
Exodus 18:24 CJB
What does this mean? That we should listen more than we speak! Moses father—in—law wasn’t a believer that we know of for sure! But God still used him mightily to help Moses, so we are foolish when we don’t listen to people! Listen then use the Word of Godto filter what they say!
“Someone who is already wise will hear and learn still more; someone who already understands will gain the ability to counsel well;
he will understand proverbs, obscure expressions, the sayings and riddles of the wise.”
Proverbs 1:5-6 CJB
We should never think we know it all, it is God who gives us wisdom and understanding! So we should always seek God and His wisdom, so we can discern what people say!
“For Adonai gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.”
Proverbs 2:6 CJB
How do we hear from the mouth of God? By being in His Word! So when believers and non—believers speak we have the Word of God to guide us to what is right!
Have a blessed day seeking God!
