These pressures pull against our sense of well-being, and anxiety begins to overwhelm us. The control you seek actually enslaves you.Īnxiety: Pressures in our lives can build and pull us in different directions. To knowingly provoke your family to anger weakens the binding force-love-that bonds your family together. EPHESIANS 6:4 | Do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them.PROVERBS 11:29 | Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind.Love is the mightiest weapon in overcoming anger. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:5 | is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.Go and be reconciled to that person.”Ĭonfront those you are angry with in order to restore your relationship. But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment!. MATTHEW 5:21-23 | “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder.’.And carefully try to get rid of it as soon as possible. EPHESIANS 4:26-27 | And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.Īnger is like a skunk in the house.We all get angry at times, so what should we do about it? His anger burns away sinfulness and allows the “gold” to emerge and make us fit for the Master’s use. The fires of our anger may aggravate our sinfulness and self-righteousness. Our anger often consumes others and even ourselves God’s anger burns against evil and becomes a cleansing fire. His anger, like ours, becomes a consuming fire, but its focus is to eradicate the sin so that the sinner can be restored. God’s anger, however, is directed against sin and unrighteousness. Thus it can lead to bitterness and hatred, emotions that can cause violent behavior and obliterate compassion and forgiveness. This kind of anger seeks harm and revenge it seeks to destroy. If allowed to continue unchecked, it will consume us. Anger that is self-righteous, protects our pride, is self-centered, or demands its own way is dangerous. What we need to consider is the object of our anger, the motive for our anger, and the outcome of our anger. Anger itself is not necessarily bad it is not necessarily wrong.
Of all emotions, it may well be the most passionate, for it has the power to fuel hatred and smother love. Anger: Anger is a fire that burns and consumes-smoldering, flaming, at times white hot.
