Wednesday, September 2: That is folly and shame

Read Proverbs 18:13

To answer before listening—

that is folly and shame.

Reflect

In a culture that encourages the polarization of people into groups based on their ethnicity, their politics, their wealth, their appearance, their faith or lack thereof, it's easy to jump to conclusions when we hear an individual express an opinion that doesn't match ours or that of our "tribe." What's your first reaction when you encounter someone who looks at things in a different, perhaps even radically different, way?

Respond

Meditate for a few moments on this proverb, and consider what it's saying to you about how you should deal with people with different perspectives than your own.
