listening

James 1:19
19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

“He’s the listen of the town.” “I’ll listen to you later.” “Listening is precious!”

I don’t know if we can replace “talk of the town,” “I’ll talk to you later,” or “talk is cheap” from our list of phrases (nor if we want to), but it’s interesting to think about how much more we talk of “talking” rather than “listening.”

Pray for listening to become more a part of your life.
