James 1:19-20

James 1:19-20
Wherefore, my beloved, brethren, let everyman be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Ouch, OH MY!

This was one of the scriptures in my bible study for today. I don't know about you but I need much help from the Lord to be swift to hear. I find myself in conversations with others talking when I should be only listening. If I would listen more, I would talk less. Although, I don't consider myself hot tempered it does not really matter what I consider myself, it is what God sees isn't it? I surely need to be slower in getting upset or angry. When I get upset or angry I am surely shining and not the Glory and Righteousness of God.

I suppose if I was not already working on memorizing a couple of scripture verse to post for the 15th that these two surely would be good to commit to memory. And not only commit to memory to live by daily. Lord help me live so others can see the righteousness of God.

In Christ,
Joan
