Text of the Day:Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. (James 1:19-21)

Reflection Questions:

1 — Quick to listen. How many of us listen mostly to respond? We often find ourselves formulating responses to parts of sentences without listening to the whole thing. I know I am guilty of this at times.

2 —Slow to speak. Every once in a while, someone suggests I should exercise the “Ministry of Listening” a little more than I do. As someone who speaks for a living, it does me well to be reminded of the opportunity to listen rather than to speak.

3 —Slow to get angry. This is a good one. How many of us have the patience we need in order to continue to continue our relationships?
