Ballroom dance instructors often give the instructions for dance steps as a combination of quick and slow steps. The polka steps are “quick, quick, slow.” The foxtrot is “slow, quick, quick.” This is a way to keep you and your partner in step.

James 1:19 says, “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”

James tells us to be QUICK to hear, SLOW to speak and SLOW to wrath. These steps—“QUICK, SLOW, SLOW”—help keep us in sync with life’s “dance partners.”
