« Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger dwells in the heart of fools »
Amplified He who is slow to anger has great understanding [and profits from his self-control], But he who is quick-tempered exposes and exalts his foolishness [for all to see].
NKJVHe who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly.
NLT People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.
GWTA person of great understanding is patient, but a short temper is the height of stupidity.
Anger is one major tool that the devil uses to destroy destinies.
Everybody knows clearly that no one just gets angry for no reason, without any provocation. Ecclesiastes 7:9GNT says,
« Keep your temper under control; it is foolish to harbor a grudge »
In Numbers 20:1-12, Moses – who had been laboring for God for forty years and leading a very difficult set of people, lost his temper just before he got to the promised land and so didn’t enter into it.
Watch it: anytime something is about to make you angry, quickly check yourself;
the devil may be preparing to spring an attack.
Anger is very dangerous.
There was a man whose only problem was anger. Whenever he got angry, he could do anything. He had just bought a brand new car, parked it in front of the house and was rejoicing when his son took something sharp and scratched it on the new car. This man saw it and out of anger, used the first thing he saw – a hammer, to smash his son’s hand. The boy screamed. Upon realising what he had done, the man rushed the boy to the hospital, where the doctor said the only solution was to amputate the boy’s fingers. The following day, he went to see the boy in the hospital and the boy said to him, “Daddy, when will my fingers grow again?” The man went back home with a very heavy heart. He then decided to go and check what the boy had written on the car anyway. The boy had written on the car, “Daddy, I love you”. The man was so devastated that he committed suicide.
Anger is temporary madness; that is why you hear people say, “I was mad with him” and they say it with pride.
If you really want to fulfil your destiny, you have to deal with anger in your life. Proverbs 16:32CEV
« Controlling your temper is better than being a hero who captures a city »
Rule your spirit.
Don’t let anger bring you down.
Prayer focus – Father, destroy any root of anger in me, in Jesus’ name.
