My dearly loved brothers understand this: everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man’s anger does not accomplish gods righteousness. My dearly loved brothers understand this: everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man’s anger does not accomplish gods righteousness. James 1:28
I love this purse. I am thankful for this first. To me and has tips on how to treat others. We need to be quick to listen to God and to others. We need to take the time to really hear what God has to say to us. This is also for others, when they come to talk to us, we need to really hear what they are saying. It don’t you find it hard to really stop and listen? I find it hard. Sometimes, I really have to concentrate on listening to what they have to say. Especially if it is a confrontation.
Then this leads to the flow to anger. Nothing good comes from anger. In fact, usually you say things that you can’t take back and that you will regret that you ever said. Plus it shows no love, mercy, or grace towards each other.
Be slow to speak. Be careful with how you speak. When we stop and think before we speak, we can let the Holy Spirit guide us with kind words.
When we go opposite of gods word, we then are working in our flesh. We are then not accomplishing God’s righteousness. All we do is cause hurt and confusion.
When we are quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger; we have time to do as the Holy Spirit guide us to do, to show kindness, love, mercy, and Grace! Is there one of these areas that you struggle with the most which one comes easy to you take time to ponder on these questions to see what you need to work on?
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for teaching us how to treat others. Father God I pray that as we meditate on this first that you will reveal to our hearts an area that we need to work on if we need to listen more intently to others or if we need to be slow to speak and slow or slow to anger, I pray that you will help us in this area.
In Jesus Name
Amen
