And Just Why Should I Not Be Mad?
March 26th, 2009
You know, sometimes I read a passage of scripture really fast to get past it because it seems a little to convicting or close to home. One verse I just read a little too quickly addresses just that point - James 1-19 tells me: Wherefore my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
I’ve read that verse casually before and just thought that it meant that when I was in casual conversation with others, I should be a good listener, not blather on, and not get upset about anything contrary to my thoughts. The Lord has brought this verse to mind recently in a different light, however, that I might actually use it in my life and relationship with others.
