Slow to Speak, Quick to Listen

I spoke previously of "my mission field" (work). I have been faithfully praying for opportunities to share with those around me. An opportunity arose on Tuesday. I had an opportunity to share my faith with two of my co-workers. I was quick to listen to their thoughts. I was even slower to speak. Too slow. I allowed a guy that I consider to be extremely intelligent to intimidate me. Why? Is my faith that shallow? I know there was not much for me to say to him that day, but there was something. And I missed it. I pray for another opportunity and this time, this time I will be ready. I will be quick to listen and slow to speak. But not too slow.
