“Understand this, my dear brothers and
sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and…” – James 1: 19
QUICK, quick…slooow; we continue our look at staying in step as God
leads us across life’s dance floor by being “slow to speak”. There are so many
good reasons to think, pray, read, study and even meditate before we speak and
utter half-truths or spread gossip that hurts. The Bible warns us about the destructive
power of a hasty tongue and Proverbs says ““A truly wise person uses few words”. Plain
common sense says we should think before we speak, but true wisdom is found God’s
Word – the Bible. Spend time with God’s
Word to gain wisdom about life. Don’t hurry your utterances. Wait – let God
guide you before you step out and speak out. Then your words can be like music
to the ears of all who witness your Godly dance through life.
