Be quick to think & slow to speak

There are many occasions when a Christian may be rightly angered by some ugly word or incident and thus be strongly tempted to respond in kind. Our text, however, reminds us that such a reaction for a Christian is sin, and it urges us to get control of our anger before sundown. We are not to let the sun set on our angry, mainly because tomorrow is not promised to no man, image if you will that someone you loved dearly  past away before you got to say I'm sorry. How would you feel ?   When angry, it is far better to wait and communicate with God about it in bed than to bring recriminations in the street or, perhaps, in the home against the ones who have angered us.  Anger is often one of the most difficult areas to overcome in the Christian life. As James says, "The tongue can no man tame." From our tongue we can give lift or bring death. As Christians our job is to reflect he love of Christ to the world. We must always be aware that what we say and do is being observed by the world, let us daily pray that God grant us the word to speak regardless of the situation, Father Lord God grant us your wisdom to behavior in a manner that brings honor and glory to you and you alone. We are ambassadorial let us act as such


 "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:  For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God "(James 1:19-20)
