Learning to listen

I'm reminded right now of something I read somewhere,I think it was in Joyce Meyers book, the battle field of the mind, someone in there complained about how her husband would go somewhere and listen to people rather than share all the smart things he knew. Her struggle was that people would not know how smart he husband was and he responded that he knows what he knows, he wants to know what other people know.

So where I'm going with this is that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me through prophecy, through sermons and scriptures and I have so much poured in to me, I'm beginning to realise that I may have started talking too much. In my dry season not too long ago, I felt like I had little to say and pour out so the best thing I could do was listen. Now that I'm hearing God, I may be forgetting the lesson I learned while I went through the previous session, that sometimes, people have the answer already, they just need to use you as a sounding board.
