\nJames 1:18-27<\/font>
\n<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

A long, long time ago — even before time, I suspect — God decided to bring forth Mark Roth (and you as well!) as a new creature.<\/p>\n

“Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures”<\/font><\/b> (18).<\/p>\n

I submit to His divine decision.<\/p>\n

This morning I read a very-practical-to-me way to live out that submission. Here’s just a little bit of what Anne Cetas wrote in today’s entry in the March-April-May 2009 edition of Our Daily Bread<\/i>:<\/p>\n

The book of James gives us these three practical exhortations to deal with life’s stressful situations: “Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”<\/font><\/b> (James 1:19).<\/p>\n

In life’s stresses, let’s be “doers of the Word”<\/font><\/b> (v.22), and take the time to listen and show restraint with our words and anger today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Remember, Mark, remember!<\/p>\n

“Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”<\/b><\/p>\n

“Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”<\/p>\n

“Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”<\/font><\/p>\n
