Intentional Hearing

by PamFord Davis  
9/20/2023 / Devotionals

Companies and customers expect fast delivery. Dispatchers of trucking companies begin with shipping and handling instructions to professional drivers. They’re hired to swiftly ship products from one distribution center to another.

Maybe you’ve seen Swift trucks traveling on busy interstates and highways. The carrier name implies quick deliveries.

Intentional hearing of what others say demands my swift attention.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain (James 1:19-26 KJV).”

I’m prone to quickly speak my mind.

Instead, I should swiftly bridle my bitter tongue.
