Anger
 
"He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city." Proverbs 16:32 (NKJ)
 
The "mighty ones"...these are people capable of great achievements. They accomplish things that impress the masses. By their very nature they are over-comers. And yet the Bible tells us that someone who is able to control their anger is better than those society would declare as "mighty". Anger could be likened to a bomb; when it explodes it always causes destruction! When we allow ourselves to act out in anger the consequences can be more than we are able, or willing, to bear! To control ones anger is not an easy task, and without the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives it is nearly impossible. So, what precautions can we take to make sure we keep control of our anger? First, be aware of what's causing your anger, the things that set you off. God's Word says, "I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected." If you know what sets you off you have a better chance of overcoming it! Second, act, don't react. In times of stress and confrontation act on God's word, and refuse to react to the situation. In the Book of Psalms we read, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" Let the actions you takes be led by the Word of God and don't allow them to be mere reactions to outside stimuli. Third, cultivate your relationship with the Lord through daily prayer and Bible reading; the closer you get to Jesus the less influence anger and the things of this world will have over you. The Bible says, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Come to the Lord daily in your personal devotional time that you may receive His grace to move you beyond the destructive bonds of anger!
 
"Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper- it only leads to harm." Psalm 37:8 (NLT)
