Ecclesiastes 7:9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.
How many times have you said something in anger only to look back and think about how stupid you were to say what you said. Be honest! We have all been there and we will probably go there again before the week is out, never mind the year…
God wants us to be patient in our actions and in our words because He knows that if we spend a few seconds thinking about what we are going to say before we speak, we may not end up saying things which we later regret.
Don’t look back and regret, wait and say it right the first time!
