Tues Devo: Speed test

James 1:19-20 “This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.” (NASB)

Hello,

As the parent of young children I constantly find myself addressing the speed at which things are or are not done. “Slow down, hurry up, move quicker, stop and think” It got me thinking about what the Bible has to say about speed. It is not just about fast or slow – it is about being quick to the right things, and slow to the right things.

So, James gives us a set of speed tests – 1 fast and 2 slow. How are you doing? No, really – how are you doing? I think these are speed tests that we have read so much, we tend to gloss over them – plus really answering them requires some challenging honesty.
Take some time – think through how you are really doing.
