"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." ~Jam 1:19-20~
Wonder if James knew this mom would need this advice!?!
Stop...wait a minute...take a deep breath...think it through...pray it through...wait for the answer of how God wants you to handle this. He does have a perfect way for the best results! When you hear something that "makes your blood boil with anger", take a few moments to cool off. Pray for the right way to react. Teacher, student, co-worker, parent, child, friend-there is a Godly solution!
The most amazing part? Practicing this over and over will break a habit of a bad temper and instead produce the righteousness of God!
"But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" ~Jam 1:4~
