My Bible Verse of the Day – 6-15-22

James 1:19 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath…

Words are many.

We all speak. We all have things to say. Some more than others.

But it’s important to understand that we learn so much more by listening than we do by speaking.

There are times when it is required that we speak. So, when that is the case, let us be careful with the words that we speak.

Let us not speak simply because there is an opportunity to do so. Let us use wisdom and discernment, so as to be careful to speak the words that God would have us to speak.

Speaking swiftly is not always the best practice. Nor is speaking out of anger or frustration.

Let us contemplate our words and the consequences of them. For the things that we say can never be retracted, nor can the effects or repercussions of those words be easily undone.

Do we wish to be wise? Let us learn to listen and discern. And then let us speak gracefully, with patience and Holy Spirit-led timing and understanding.

And, most of all, let us hear! For without hearing, we will never grow.

Ecclesiastes 3:7 (NKJV) 7 … A time to keep silence, And a time to speak…

God, we ask you to help us to know when to speak and when to be silent. Amen
