A Time to Speak

by Web Admin, 3 years ago

Peter, overwhelmed by his experience on the Mount of Transfiguration,

Peter, overwhelmed by his experience on the Mount of Transfiguration, blurted out the first thing that came to mind. His intentions were honorable, but he misunderstood the situation. How many times are we as leaders confronted with situations that we don't fully understand? We may want to acknowledge and honor those involved, or perhaps we even want to make a contribution to the conversation. Wisdom urges us to listen and observe, rather than speaking from pride or fear. Then when it is time to speak, we will know what questions to ask and how to add value to the conversation.

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)—Mark 9:5-6

Prayer: God, help me to listen well before I speak, and let my speech reflect Your wisdom, honoring You and benefiting others. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
