Day 23 Listen

We need to just be quiet and listen! Alot of problems I have gotten my self into are because I didn't listen to God, I didn't listen to a loved one, or I didn't listen quietly enough and totally misunderstood something.

Be a listening wife, a listening friend, a listening Christian.

Maybe God is allowing a husband, friends, or kids to tell us something about our relationships with their actions or words. We cannot be so quick to jump up on the defense. If are are always that way we will build a stubborn unteachable heart and that is not humble. Maybe the things that go on are your husband, friends or kids way of trying to tell us about problems in specific areas.
If we are married and our husband is upset about our attitude or something about us.
We should try to consider his accusations carefully. Consider them without a defensive attitude pray and listen and think about them and evaluate quietly.... If there is any truth at all to them, ask for forgiveness and grow from it.

Everyone that is in our life is put there because that was Gods plan. What if the problems we encounter with others, the let downs and all of that won’t stop or our marriage won’t change until Gods work begins in us. All the time not just on some days…and consistently. See what kind of people would we be if we didn't listen to the people around us listen to the situations that we are apart of and change and grow based on that. I really believe we have to have certain people and relationships in our life to deal with so that God can heal us, and transform the way we handle life. People can bring out our sin in us. Then we can mold into how we should be and respond in life as far as glorifying him goes…If we can't see that, listen and make changes then it’s like saying "God I’m being so perfect and loving all the time so why is he or she still acting this way"?
