James (Jacob) 1:19-23 #TPT
My dearest brothers and sisters, take this to heart: Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. And be slow to become angry,
for human anger is never a legitimate tool to promote God’s righteous purpose.
So this is why we abandon everything morally impure and all forms of wicked conduct. Instead, with a sensitive spirit we absorb God’s Word, which has been implanted within our nature, for the Word of Life has power to continually deliver us.
Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life!
If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning.
