Today's Verse - Proverbs 14:29 (KJV)

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

—Proverbs 14:29 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Responding quickly to aggravation, threat, insult, or difficulty suggests strength to many folks today. However, responding hastily out of anger is foolish. A hasty, unfiltered response seldom produces the desired long-term effect. This kind of response nearly always compounds the problems that need to be addressed. Patiently dealing with frustrating and painful situations shows understanding and is nearly always more fruitful in the long run and can prevent the unnecessary loss of friendships, integrity, and respect.

My Prayer...​

Father, I ask for patience and self-control. I know these virtues are part of the fruit of your Spirit's presence in my life, so I ask that the Holy Spirit have more impact on my heart and life. Please give me the understanding and wisdom to keep my mouth shut until I have had an opportunity to pray and think about the issues and people involved. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

[The Encourager]

God I ask You in Jesus' name bless me with understanding to be quick to listen, slow to speak until you tell me to, and slow to get angry.

 

[Loren]

Take away all wrath, all anger and all hate from our hearts o Lord. Help us to love our neighbors as You have loved us. I will sing a song of the saints of God who were brave and loyal to You and Your word. Help me O Lord to live a Thou hast lived. In Jesus name. Amen

 

[Dominick]

Give us o Lord wisdom from heaven so we will not sin against You. Give us a peaceful spirit and a loving heart toward those who are lost and need a Savior.
