Be Slow To Speak.

                                                                     Be Slow To Speak!


Loose Lips Produces a “Worthless Religion”.


My dewar brothers and sisters, take note of this Everyone should be Quick to Listen, “Slow to Speak” and Slow to Become Angry.  (James 1:19)


Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues “deceive themselves”, and “Their Religion is Worthless”.  (James 1:26)


Our Daily Nugget

advises thoughtful, measured communication over hasty reactions, aiming to avoid sin, reduce conflict, and reflect God’s Righteousness rather than “impulsive human anger”. Just Consider what is going on in our Thinking Process, our Heart/Mind, when we “Feel” a need to Speak Quickly, Fast.  Is it not a sign of “Insecurity”?


To be “Quick to Speak” is a sin; it’s disobedience.


The more slowly we speak, the more Wisdom we will find in “Speaking Slowly” and we will be able to see the “Foolishness in Speaking Quickly”.  Additionally, we will fall victim to the “Foot In Mouth Disease”, “Less Often”.  The Bible says, that, the more we speak, the more likely we are to say something that’s wrong.  Speaking quickly and speaking a lot, “does not make us ‘look smart’, but speaking quickly and a lot, makes us look dumb”.  We might “feel smart”, but we do not look smart to people.


The Less we Speak, the more we are considered “Wise”.

We learn when we are listening, we do not learn when we are speaking.


All of James chapter one is about “Wisdom”; how to Live as Kingdom Citizens in this foreign land that is called earth.  Verse nineteen is like a highlight of the preceding verses; like saying, “Therefore”.  Therefore, after all of these God’s Promises, we should be “Slow to Speak”


Being Slow to Speak gives us 

“Time to Hear the Holy Spirit Tell Us ‘What’ to Say or Not To Say”.


Trusting God is “protection” from the “Anxious Spirit” that motivates people to Speak Quickly; very often due to fear and insecurity.  Trust God to fight your battles and you will not feel the need to “Speak Quickly”.


Ask God to Bless you to “Be Slow to Speak”, and 

Watch What Happens.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”. Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, telling us that Through Careful “Thinking”, we can have “The Life We Choose”.   We are God’s Children, our Father has All Power, who can Do All Things.   Through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, we can do all things through Him.   We can Think Carefully about things that leads to life and things that leads to death.   We, as God’s Children, has been given Great Ability to Control the Spirit World through our “Think...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
