Be Quick To Hear The Words Of Wisdom

 Too often in life, we discover the folly of opening our mouth and responding in careless haste to the words and actions of others, and too often we react in annoyance or anger only to discover that we had misunderstood the facts of the matter, causing us to regret that we spoke so quickly and reacted so hastily.
 If our words and actions are to be seasoned with salt and honoring to our Father, we should especially be quick to hear the words of wisdom that come from the Scriptures and to be wise in our response to God's voice.
 Sometimes we may not like what we hear, and sometimes believers have been known to argue with God and become angry at His Word, but the wise man or woman will be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, particularly in the things of the Lord. 
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

Our United Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the wise instructions it contains. We know that having a quick temper and easily becoming angry does not benefit us or those around us and does not glorify You. Help us to put into practice the wise words of Psalm 15: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word, stirs up anger." Help us to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
