The Wisdom of Listening First
“Listen for God’s voice in everything you do and everywhere you go. He’s the one who will keep you on track.” — Proverbs 3:6 (MSG)
As leaders, we’re often told to speak with clarity, act decisively, and move fast. But true wisdom begins with listening first—not to noise, not to ego, but to the still, guiding voice of God.
Listening confirms connection. It reminds me that leadership isn’t about control, it’s about alignment. When I slow down long enough to hear God’s direction, He protects me from wasted motion, wrong turns, and burnout.
The goal isn’t worldly success; it’s spiritual alignment—becoming who we’re created to be.
God doesn’t just want to use us for results; He wants to guide us for relationships.
Bottom line:
When I listen for God’s voice, He keeps me on the right path—protecting, guiding, and aligning me with His purpose.
