Slow to speak

James 1:19-20 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.

I love this verse and desire to learn to live it out. One thing I love about this verse, it reveals God's heart, what He desires.

I notice that when I'm quick to get angry and quick to lash out, I feel a urging from the Holy Spirit. It's like he checks me. It's my decision if I'm going to obey or allow my flesh to rule me.

My desire for this new year is learn to be slow!
