____________________________ HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE (formerly Today's Verse) by Phil Ware May 25, 2003 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. --James 1:19 New International Version THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... Have a brake on your tongue, hit the throttle on your ears. Let your angry email sit three days before responding and make sure you read it and edit it before you send it. Keep your mouth shut and your ears open. They all say the same thing. Now if we would just do it, wouldn't the Christian community be so much more blessed! MY PRAYER... Mighty and Holy God, you are incredible. Beyond my comprehending. How you put up with all the drivel, senseless, and hurtful speech that I and your other children spew out is beyond my understanding. I ask that you release the Holy Spirit to convict my heart and guard my lips from any form of hurtful speech. I want my voice to be as much yours as my heart is. This I pray through Jesus. Amen. ----------- Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.12034.1.646236 ----------- HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs your help!
