Proverbs 16:32 “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.”
One
individual with rare insight said, “I got so angry that I gave him a
piece of my mind. And it was a piece that I couldn’t afford to lose.”
Anger.
There is of course sudden anger,
those moments when someone has said something you didn’t like and
instantly you wanted to strike back. That is not to be condoned but it
can be understood.
However, if we seed this anger and let it grow it will wrap its vines around us and slowly strangle us to death.
Then it becomes a part of our very being and that is when it has become sinful anger.
For some now stubbornness takes
over. “I am angry. I have a good reason to be angry and I am determined
to stay angry.” And they do…stay angry…and grow angrier…and there is a
death here…a death of the spirit.
What then…what to do when such an anger takes over and will not let go. Think on some of the following.
Don’t blame your DNA or red hair.
Do you control your anger with some people and not with others?
When you are about to lose your temper try harder to let God help you find your patience. It
is at that moment a child saying to a heavenly Father help me to temper
my temper rather than be on the way to a temper tantrum.
Are you angry at a person or a sin? There is a difference…a rather big difference.
Do you want to hurt the person who made you angry rather than help the two of you to reconcile?
Do you enjoy your anger? This may at first seem a strange question…but think about it.
Are you always on the edge of anger,
a collection of hurt feelings just waiting for the opportunity to come
alive again? Is this like carrying around a key to open the door and let
the Devil come walking in?
Fall to your knees and stay there.
Pray without ceasing. Patella perseverance is another way of putting it.
Wear your anger out with an assault from the Lord and you on this sickness of the soul.
Do
this over and over and over again…and yes…maybe keep on doing it for
the rest of your life…for after all it is your life and mine we are
talking about it…and it is too great a gift to fill it with this leprosy
of the soul and spirit.
Romans
12:19 Paul says, “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for
God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenger; I will repay,’
says the Lord.
