“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry” (James 1:19b NIV).
Simon & Garfunkle’s “groovy song” (as our boys used to call it) fits James’ commentary pretty effectively:
“Slow down, you move too fast”
Why is it that we Christians frequently let the hectic-ness of life to take over our focus? One objective of the Christian Playbook to make time for each playbook element, allowing for a slowing of our days so there can be more intentional behavior consistent with our Christ-follower beliefs.
POSSIBLE ACTION FOR TODAY: in addition to doing the CP efforts (devotional, prayer, study, love, music), take time today to slow down, watch the flowers growin’, stifle hurtful anger and delight more in the day…
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
