How Are Your Words?

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 NIV Bible Gateway

 

Do you sound angry, mean, argumentative, boastful, unthinking,uncaring? Do you spout off easy to your spouse or others close to you? 

First it is necessary to get to the root of what agitates you then to give it to God and try to calm down. I actually have a very dear  close friend who I am pretty sure stays cool, calm, and collected with her spouse and others in her path. It’s awesome to have that demeanor and not get rattled easily. 

Does your temper flare up at times or do you find yourself being in a defensive posture? Then by all means get on your knees and ask God to help set you free. If you have hurt another with unthought out words humble yourself and go apologize or suffer the consequences of a broken relationship.

PRAYER: I want my heart to truly be in tune with you Lord. Help me love what you love and hate what you hate. Also keep me kingdom ready. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
