Anger Vs Righteous LifeWhat do you do when you are angry? Do you yell and scream or say hurtful, mean, disrespectful things? Do you throw things, kick or punch walls, break stuff? Hit someone, hurt yourself, or push and shove others around?
Hmm...let's see what the Bible says.
"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.- Ephesians 4:26Whenever we are angry for too long, it becomes dangerous because soon our anger will take control of us instead of we controlling our anger. When it happens, we sin easily. We are giving the devil a chance.
When tempted, no-one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.-James 1:13-15Let us all learn to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
