You Make Me So Mad

Anger is an involuntary reaction to a displeasing situation or event. As long as anger is limited to this involuntary, initial emotion, it may be considered a normal reaction. It is when we respond improperly to anger—when we either lose our temper or store the anger so that it makes us resentful or hostile—that it becomes dangerous. It is here that the Bible calls us to account.

Sometimes people say thay just can't stop themselves, but it is Scriptural to control your anger.

“A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control” -Proverbs 29:11. Each person has the right to express his own opinions and to be treated with dignity and respect. At the same time, we should not forget that if Jesus had demanded His “rights,” He wouldn’t have gone to the cross! The Christian must be careful of his responses, remembering that one’s position may be right while the accompanying attitudes may be wrong.

We'll look deeper in to this issue tomorrow.

Be wise today and always - keep your anger under control.
