Monday
James 1:19
My dear brothers and sisters, I am quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
Tuesday
James 1:20
My anger can never make things right in God’s sight.
Wednesday
James 1:21
So I get rid of all the filth and evil in my life, and humbly accept the message God has planted in my heart, for it is strong enough to save my soul.
Thursday
James 1:22
And I remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. If I don’t obey, I am only fooling myself.
Friday
James 1:23For if I just listen and don’t obey, it is like looking at my face in a mirror but doing nothing to improve my appearance.
