Swift and slow

"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath..."

James 1: 19

This is a good advice for everyone, especially for the woman. She learns much more when listening more and makes much less mistakes when speaking less. With this, one avoids misunderstandings, especially at home.

Own desires

"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed."

James 1:14


We have been privileged with the 'free will', but it is important to be extremely careful with your eyes, for some things considered 'normal' can easily entice us to sin. Let us watch!

Joy

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."

James 1: 2-3

The Christian testing is not made out of health, family, or financial problems, but out of the cause we suffer for the Lord Jesus. Injustice, persecution, criticism because of our faith are just some of the trials we go through which should bring us reasons for joy. Rejoice in suffering for the cause of the Lord Jesus.

Hear and keep

"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near."

Revelation 1: 3

The prophetic words aren't just knowledge. They're to be put in practice, otherwise, there's no use in knowing them. In this case, reading, hearing, and keeping the prophecies from Revelations keeping vigilance of your soul's salvation, trusting that these promises will be fulfilled soon.

Security

"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."

Proverbs 11:14

You'll only find true guidance in the Word of God. The servant who practices and teaches it, is safe.

Deliverance

"Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever."

Exodus 14:13

Those who trust in God wait patiently for their answer. For it'll come in it's right tim, He will save.

To love

"If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?"

1 John 4:20

The love for God and consequently for those around us is not about a deep feeling, but about an attitude of respect and consideration. True love consists of unconditional surrender to those who are loved.
