Speedily
"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;"
James 1:19
There are some things that we need to do quickly and not put off. Things like listening, reconciling, and forgiving - since we have been heard; since we have been reconciled and since we have been forgiven.
Paul reminds us that we should "not let the sun go down while you are still angry and do not give the devil a foothold." (Ephesians 4:26-27) Anger is not something to hold on to but to speedily give over to God.
Unresolved hurts and relational tensions impact us negatively. So we are called to do our part to extend our hearts to reconcile speedily. As Jesus tells us, "settle matters quickly with your adversary". (Matthew 5:25)
Do not allow delay to deny you the benefit of good communication, godly reconciliation or peace of mind.
Enjoying the journey,
