Be Quick to Hear, Slow To Wrath
Jam. 1:12-20
In the Church one day, I heard what I took to be a criticism and replied angrily. When the person speaking eventually had the opportunity to explain himself, it turned out to be a suggestion for progress and improvement. Of course, I could only apologize for my earlier angry retort, but could not retrieve what I have said. It is great wisdom to be quick to hear what people have to say, to take time to ponder on what they have said before responding. It is natural to respond promptly without deep thought, but that always bring shame and regret when one finally finds that one has made a mistake in judgment. Think deeply about what others have said. Think deeply about what impact your response will make, and ask yourself if the likely impact is what you intend. Your words are like raw eggs, once broken cannot be put back together.
Point of Emphasis: Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Prayer Point: I receive the grace to be a good listener in Jesus’ name.
