A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel. Proverbs 15:18
Why do we tell someone to "Count to 10" when we want them to slow down or calm down? Because we realize that the speed at which they are functioning at the moment is out of control or not efficient. Why does God tell us to count to 10" (be patient), because He knows that what are often out of control and not being efficient, effective or accurate.
Lord, give me the wisdom to "count to 10" (be patient) throughout the day in order to keep me from letting my emotions make poor choices for me.
