3/17/2023 0 Comments Stop with AngerThe Bible doesn’t tell us not to become angry, but it does give us some guidelines on how we should handle our anger properly. If vented thoughtlessly, anger can hurt others and destroy relationships. If bottled up, it causes bitterness and destroys us from within. Paul tells us to deal with our anger swiftly and decisively. When anger is left to fester, Satan can gain a foothold and divide us. When injustice and sin occur, we should become angry because others are being hurt. However, we should not become angry when we fail to win an argument or when we feel offended or neglected. Selfish human anger never produces the righteousness God desires. It never helps anyone.
Questions for further thought: 1. In what ways are you nursing anger against someone right now? 2. What are some ways you could resolve your differences? Challenge: Think of that person you are nursing anger against. Commit to praying for them for one week and see how God works a miracle in your heart and mind.
