More sound counsel from James that we, as followers of Jesus, should employ in our daily interactions on both small and larger issues. Can you imagine what this world would be like if the news media, politicians, entertainment industry, and everyone actually did this?
Quick to listen - engage with your ears and heart first.
Slow to speak - take a step back, process what is being said, and don’t spend the time formulating your next point.
Slow to get angry - take two steps back so that you can respond and not react.
It is interesting that the one thing James says to be quick to do is to simply listen. How can you apply this biblical counsel to all that you are dealing with in your life today? Ask the Holy Spirit, your Helper, to help you engage James’ instruction as you navigate your day. - Pastor Jimmy
