My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should
be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become
angry.
--James 1:19
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Have a brake on your tongue, hit the throttle on your
ears. Let your angry email sit three days before
responding and make sure you read it and edit it
before you send it. Keep you mouth shut and your ears
open. They all say the same thing. Now if we would
just do it, wouldn't the Christian community be so
much more blessed!
MY PRAYER...
Mighty and Holy God, you are incredible. Beyond my
comprehending. How you put up with all the drivel,
senseless, and hurtful speech that I and your other
children spew out is beyond my understanding. I ask
that you release the Holy Spirit to convict my heart
and guard my lips from any form of hurtful speech. I
want my voice to be as much yours as my heart is.
This I pray through Jesus. Amen.
