[Anger]
"Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath."
- James 1:19b
Reading this verse tonight was definetly an eye and heart opener from God above. It is SO awesome to know that He is still alive and that He can still speak to us, our hearts, and our lives!
Today, for some odd reason, I just kept struggling with anger. If someone said something jokingly, I got mad. If someone bearly pushed one of my buttons, I exploded with anger.
I really wanted to serve God, but everytime I turned around I was reacting as the world reacts; off of emotions and feelings. I chose to be angry instead of being content (happy) in all circumstances like it says to in Phillipians 4:11.
I sadly chose sin over obedience. Have you been fighting with anger in your life lately? If so, pray about it. Tell God exactly what is going on. Read about anger in His Word also. Learn from it. Next time you start to get mad, just think: "What Would Jesus Do?". That will answer all your problems!!!
Diving Deeper:
Read over Matthew 5:21-26. What does this passage say that anger might lead to? In what ways can you think of in which you can not get as angry when you are tempted? Pray about it DUDE!
