Good morning brother,
Topic: The Art of Listening and Empathy
Read Scripture: James 1:19, Job 2:11-13
Thoughts:
Quote: "The best way to win an argument is to avoid it." - Dale Carnegie
Listening is underrated, and the Bible gives us the cheat code.
James 1:19 instructs us, "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
Let’s check out the story of Job's friends in Job 2:11-13.
When they heard about Job's suffering, they came to comfort and console him.

14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle,[c] encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18

05:29:48 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him. When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads. Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.“
Job 2:11-13
