READ JAMES 1:19-27
This week in Bible study we were looking at the concept of listening through what God says through James. Specifically we were discussing listening to God.
One thing that stuck out to all of us was the sense in which this section of Scripture reminds us to slow down in order to listen to God. The passage reminds us to be "slow" to speak. It challenges us to be "slow" to get angry. Then when it talks about recieving wisdom from God is contrasts someone who looks into the mirror, but then moves so quickly they forget what they look like, while someone who does what is right focuses on the truth of God intently and remembers it.
It seems, if we want to have God speaking his truth into our lives, we have to be little slower. For me this is easier said than done
