James 1:19
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
What of 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 your 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!
Let us Pray:
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.
Words of Wisdom
Speaking to an audience of understanding men is like watering a bed of growing plants. Those who speak good things to good and learned gatherings should never say them to ignorant groups, even forgetfully. Speaking before men of alien mind is like pouring sweet nectar down a drain.
