Quick

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” – James 1:19 James, the brother of the Lord, likely wrote a sermon in James 1:19: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this.” He then introduces the well-known “quick, slow, slow” principle. Have you ever heard of this approach? I encourage you to carry it with you today. Everyone should be quick to do what? Listen. Slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Embracing this truth will make a remarkable difference in your life. The next scripture reminds us, “because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” Many people in the world today might disagree with that. Society often teaches that anger is a way to get what you want. However, as children of God, we are called to respond differently.
