Slow to speak

 

โ€œLet every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to angerโ€ James 1:19

 

Find a clock or a stopwatch that shows you the second ticking by. (If you use a smartphone, you can set a timer and see the digits moving.) When you watch a clock, especially one with a second-hand, time seems to move slower. Why is that?

 

For some of us, itโ€™s because weโ€™re always moving so fast. We rarely stop to think about time. In the same way, we rarely think about the words weโ€™re saying and if they will be a blessing or a curse to someone else. Try to be more intentional about what you say today, similar to how you watched the second hand on a clock. Think about the impact you are making on others with your words, and if you are speaking in love and kindness.

 

Lord, help us to speak in a way that is uplifting in others. Amen
