Day 10

The Observer

Watch with your eyes not with your feelings…

Listen with your eyes not their words…

Always observing truth beyond what is said and felt.

Honesty is told in a backhanded compliment.

Integrity is revealed in a condescended reply.

Kindness is exposed in a moment of crisis.

Leadership is defined in a flash of tragedy.

Never take their word for it.

Never receive their plight without question.

Always observe. Always listen. Always reason.

Truth is crying out to you.

Just uncover your eyes and ears to understand it.

As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.

Proverbs 27:19

Does not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet.
She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors:
“To you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of men. O you simple ones, understand prudence, and you fools, be of an understanding heart. Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, and from the opening of my lips will come right things; For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them. They are all plain to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge…”

Proverbs 8:1-9
