“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” Swift to hear what? Well, the Word of God, of course. Now you, a child of God, indwelt by the Spirit of God who wants to be your teacher, you have the Word of God. The Creator of this universe, and the Redeemer of lost sinners, He wants to talk to you, He wants to say something to you. And the point is: “Be quick. Be alert. Get a little movement, a little alertness there.” Oh, how today we need to be alert. “Be quick,” he says, “swift to hear.”
