Because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.James 1:20
Anger is an emotion each of us experiences and as a believer you are to learn to control your emotions and turn the other cheek when insults are hurled, belittlement occurs, someone taunts or pushes your buttons, bullies you, calls you names, and just pure plain and simple things happen to make you hurt and you have had quite enough thank you very much!
The Bible tells us to not let the sun go down on your anger(Ephesians 4:26).If you do you may have a hard time falling asleep and things fester in your mind, and don’t you just know that Satan loves to toy with the anger inside of you to tempt you to explode and do stupid things. Sometimes you see news stories where anger and rage have turned into violence and murder.
So brothers and sisters in Christ let love , forgiveness, joy, peace, and calmness be your primary aim each and every day. Love the person who is hurting and tormenting you. If someone is aggravating you to the point you feel your emotions starting to boil, run to the cross of Christ and allow him to set you free from pent up feelings and even when a person just keeps on, pray for them and keep your distance till the situation calms down. Married couples often let rage send them to the point of divorce. If you are reading this and that is going on in your life know that God can heal, deliver, and set free. Don’t let Satan win Stand fast and let Jesus handle this.
PRAYER: Father emotions are good but anger is something that can not only create losses of friends and family members and even jobs but can create medical problems due to stress it creates. Lord forgive me when I have been angry at someone and help me love even when I don’t feel much like it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
