Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger - James 1:19.
Quick to hear
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left - Isaiah 30:21. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand - John 10:27,28.
Slow to speak
He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction - Proverbs 13:3. But I say to you that every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgement - Mathew 12:36. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21. Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips - Psalm 141:3. When you talk, you should always be kind and pleasant so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should - Colossians 4:6. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing - Proverbs 12:18. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks- Mathew 12: 34.
Slow to anger
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools - Ecclesiastes 7:9. He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city - Proverbs 16:32. Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires - James 1:20. In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold - Ephesians 4:26. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice - Ephesians 4:31.
PRAYER: Dear Lord Let us be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
