Be Quick to Listen (A RECEPTIVE HEART)

[Jam 1:19] Everyone Should Be Quick To Listen

Everyone should be quick to listen-hear now and heed-

Slow to speak, also slow to anger in word and deed.

Anger does not yield a life praised by the Lord,

So get rid of all sin and humbly accept God's Word.

If you listen, but do not practice, you'll go astray,

Like a man who looks in a mirror, then goes away.

You must keep looking; God's Word will set you free.

Don't forget what you've heard, but do it, and blessed you'll be.

If you think you're a model Christian, yet speak too free,

If your tongue has no rein, faith's worthless; you've been deceived.

Here's faith the Father accepts as pure and true:

Help the needy, keep from defilement in all you do.

WHAT DO U THINK OF THIS HYMN?

Wise words. Look at the ant, they work with purpose, diligence, teamwork, goals, and don't give up until the job is done.

Let that be so. Amen.

The love of money is the root of all evil : Money is not evil , the love of it is. He that hasteth to get rich, especially be deceit shall fall and come to poverty . He that is diligent and having the Lord : The word of God directing his way shall come to riches ; not only in money but in health and in mental stability and spiritual strength. Praise God and you can also add Peace. An undisturbed state of being and restful nights of sleep. Amen !!!!

That is tantamount to abundant wealth fraudulently acquired but believe me it never lasts and can never be put to good use.

Anything done in haste is never well done. I love this passage
