## Under fire

- Count to three before you answer.
- Hear fully before you defend or strike.
- Slow to speak when the flesh wants the last word.

## Prayer

Lord, make me quick to listen. Amen.

## Truth

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
