My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. (James 1:19-21 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, something rotten can ruin something good that comes in contact with it. It will eventually make its decaying presence known even if hidden from sight. The same is true for my life. Give me greater wisdom and discernment to recognize and dispose of anything in my life that should not be there. I want to replace the rottenness with the Truth of Your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
