James 1: 19-20 5/26/15

James 1:19-2019 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Most of us "A type" athletes do it exactly backwards. Quick to anger, always know exactly what we want to say, and hardly ever listen....apparently that doesn't create the kind of life that God intended for us to live.  In 54 years I can't think of many things I've done, or said in anger that I'm real proud of.

Proverbs 16:32 says the same: 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city

This week let's try it God's way - listen before we talk - and realize that man's anger can weaken us and cause us to live in a way God never intended.
Make it a great week.
