“Listen, open your ears, harness your desire to speak, and don’t get worked up into a rage so easily, my brothers and sisters. Human anger is a futile exercise that will never produce God’s kind of justice in this world.” -James 1:19-20 [Voice]

A Time to Think… 
“To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well.” -John Marshall, man of faith and American statesman, jurist, and Founding Father who served as the fourth chief justice of the United States 

A Time to Act…
Today would be a perfect day to reach out to a friend or loved one…with one goal: to listen more than you speak! When we listen we learn and then when we speak others can learn.

A Time to Pray…
Lord, teach me to slow down and quiet my own thoughts. It is then that I can truly hear the hearts of others—just as You always hear mine. AMEN.
