Thursday wisdom:
"Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish."
Proverbs 18:13
How easy it is to offer advice or respond to someone's need before we've thoroughly listened to all the person has to say. And how often do we jump to conclusions and spout off our opinions before we know all the facts? Even worse is gossiping about another person when it's most likely we don't know the full story of his or her situation. This proverb reminds us to make sure we have the full story before we respond in any way, lest we expose our own foolishness.
