Bible Memory Verses: “Q” James 1:19

James 1:19 Verse Q

For our “Q” verse we have James 1:19:

Quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

If you are learning these verses alongside your children, which it’s almost impossible not to, this is one I think we as adults need just as much as our children.

Lesson for James 1:19

When I hear James 1:19 I immediately think of all the things I said during the day impulsively to others.

The Bible Reference states this verse actually means letting God be in control. When we quickly respond to others in anger, it is actually our way of trying to control our circumstances. Instead, we should give God control.

Teaching for Children

A great lesson for children can be found here that centers around dealing with anger biblically. There are different ideas depending on how many kids you have.

Depending on how old your children are, this may be perfect and adorable…or it may be too young.

Either way, I promise it will do the trick – you will memorize the verse (and tune) immediately and years later you won’t forget it. I sure haven’t.
