Words that Tickle

"See I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of
everyone who hears of it tickle." 1Samuel 3:11.

How would it feel to have the words of God tickle your ears? How
would it feel to be one who God used to tickle the ears of people?
Samuel was one of those. Scripture says that Samuel "let none of his
words fall to the ground." My problem is that so many of my words
do. Our words fall to the ground when there are no ears to hear
them. Sometimes no ears to hear is our fault and sometimes it's not.
I close ears when I talk too much. It's one of the areas I am working
on. I also am very passionate. Put those two things together and
people don't know what I am really passionate about and what to really
listen too if everything is so important.

5 rules I am trying to implement:
1. Don't answer until asked.
2. Don't talk first.
3. Write it and then speak it (process what your going to say,
instead of just throwing up)
4. Say it and then let it lye. Don't feel you have to defend it.
5. If it can be said in the form of a question, then do.

God help our words not "fall to the ground."
