Did you know that it is much easier to react than it is to respond?
Just think about that for a minute.
Reaction is instant——–but it is not godly.
“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” James 1:19.
When you listen, process, contemplate, and pray, you can then respond in a way that is pleasing to God.
It sounds complicated, but it takes only a short breath to react, and a little longer breath to respond. “….humbly accept the Word planted in you, which can save you….” James 1:21.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
