Variety: James 1v19

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry   JAMES 1:19

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: ‘People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship – and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.’ ACTS 17:22–23

Heavenly Father, give us grace to listen to you, so that we can discover ever more of the riches of Christ.
and give us grace to listen to the world in order to discern which of Christ’s riches are needed most and how to present them in their best light.’
