🟣 Monday — Listen Before You Speak
Truth:
God addresses you before you address Him.
Formation begins with hearing.
Micro‑Teaching:
We are often quick to speak—prayers, plans, explanations, requests. Scripture consistently reverses the order: God speaks first. Creation begins with God’s word. Covenant begins with God’s word. Faith itself comes by hearing. When listening is displaced, prayer becomes self‑directed and obedience becomes self‑generated. Learning to listen trains us to receive God’s initiative rather than fill the silence with ourselves. Formation deepens as we make space for God’s address.
Practice (Today):
Before speaking in prayer or conversation, pause briefly.
Acknowledge that God is already speaking.
Pray:
“Help me hear before I speak.”
Reflection:
Where do you tend to speak quickly instead of listening?
How might attentive listening reshape your prayer and attention today?
Word of the Day (teaser):
Hearing — receiving God’s address before offering your response.
