Anger Gets You No Where

 


Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19-20 NIV Bible Gateway

  
Recently I was enjoying a quiet day, gentle breeze and my iced latte at an outdoor coffee shop/nursery  when a very angry lady came in the gate ranting and screaming to someone on her phone. At first I thought she had mental disorder then realized she was just livid over something. 

It brought to mind the way people should be treated in general. Even when taking a stand in society against moral failure your letter to the government official  or whomever it is addressed to should not be full of anger and hatred or even preaching for that matter but should be attempting to make logical sensible points. 

If it is about a moral thing, only the righteous Bible believers will be understanding things. Not every ‘church goer’ thinks everything is sinful. Point being is to be kind and not raging. Even offer to pray for the person. 

PRAYER: Lord your love for mankind amazes me even nowadays when people are trying to be a girl when born a boy or do something clearly against the Word. Help me Lord just keep praying. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
