Waiting...

Waiting. It is not something that any of us likes. A wise person, however, learns to wait to speak. They make sure they have all the facts, "fact" checks again, then waits some more before speaking. If more would do this, then there would be a lot less anger and strife in our family and church relationships.

Proverbs 29:20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Proverbs 29:11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
