Evening: Psalms 91, 92; Luke 16:1-9
The Letter of James contains this compelling phrase: “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.” The letter also teaches about generosity, and about not only hearing the truth but acting on it. As they say, talk is cheap. Being slow to speak allows others’ words to sink in and produce action. Words alone do not care for orphans, widows and others in distress. I heard a wise physician say yesterday that we cannot afford to get into anger or arguments or blame about COVID-19. This present crisis calls for deep listening to one another and concerted action.
