God’s Word has so many practical things to say about how we should live.
Communication is the key to a good relationship. This verse tells us how to communicate well with others.
Listen! Listen! 80% of the time listen. Without interruption or comment. This is hard for some of us. Be conscious of how much you speak.
Speak only 20% of the time. Weigh your words carefully. Be positive and encouraging.
Slow to get angry. The old saying, “count to 10”. Forgiveness is the key. Try to see what the other person might be going through. Everyone has a bad day now and then.
If someone irritates you remember the 80, 20 advice. Quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.
