James 1:19

My beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

God is never slow from His standpoint, but He is from ours, because impetuosity and doing things prematurely are universal weaknesses.

God lives and moves in eternity , and every little detail in His working must be like Himself and have in it the majesty and measured movement, as well as the accuracy and promptness, of infinite wisdom. We are to let God do the swiftness and we do the slowness.
