Pray Before Answering

The way of the Lord written below. Sometimes it's too simple but we make it so difficult because all we can see is the present. 

Thank God, Jesus look ahead and saw how stupid we would become in the way's of the world and thank God for Jesus' willingness to see things through so let's live it.

God Bless.

Pray before Answering

by Joyce Meyer

For [of course] I will not venture (presume) to speak thus of any work except what Christ has actually done through me [as an instrument in His hands] to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed. 
—Romans 15:18
The Father has sent to us a Counselor— the Spirit of Truth—who teaches us all things (See John 14:16,17,26). As we stay sensitive to God’s leading, He will direct us. If we pray before speaking, the Lord will keep us from overcommitting our time, and from misleading people.
Jesus took time to listen to the Father before speaking. God will also give us “a word in due season” for somebody (See Proverbs 15:23), if we listen for His input before we give what we may think is a right answer. God will give us the right words to say, if we expectantly listen for His direction before we speak.
