Anger



If you have paid attention to any medical article or tv show , you probably know that anger can make you physically ill. Unfortunately, like any other challenging trait, it's difficult to overcome. It can be like an eating disorder, smoking or any other learned behavior. Yes, humans get angry. But, uncontrollable anger is a learned response.



Proverbs 16:32 Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self-control than to conquer a city.. Self control is superior to conquest. Success can be ruined by a person who loses control of his/her temper.

Proud individuals often overlook their weaknesses and fail to foresee obstacles. They believe they are beyond the vulnerabilities of ordinary people. With this mindset, they are easily caught off guard. Ironically, proud individuals rarely recognize that pride is their issue, even though those around them are fully aware. Consult someone you trust to see if self-satisfaction has blinded you to warning signs. They might help you prevent a downfall.

Proverbs 8:13 All who fear the LORD will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech. Anger fits right in with these things. Pride and arrogance can spur anger and lead to corruption and perverse speech.

That hits hard. We want to be one with Christ, right?

*Bible notes (NLT) Put a mental stopwatch on your conversations and keep track of how much you talk and how much you listen. When people talk to you, do they feel that their viewpoints and ideas have value?

We should get angry when injustice and sin occurs, not when our egos are bruised.

(Bible notes: By helping your enemy, you're not excusing his/her misdeeds. You're recognizing them, loving them and forgiving them in spite of sins-JUST LIKE JESUS DID FOR US! Sometimes forgiving someone can lead them to change their ways. Even if it doesn't, it frees you of a heavy load.

Have you ever had someone unexpectedly apologize when you're angry with them? Recall how you felt. Did it turn off, or at least lessen your anger? My guess is yes, because I also have experienced it.

Side note: Praying for your enemies works! See my blog about forgiveness.

Imagine you could help someone escape Satan's trap! Well, as Christians, that is our job!

Matthew 4:19 Jesus said to the disciples, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

If you are dealing with a toxic or abusive boss, I suggest considering prayer as part of your decision-making process.

I believe that here, just like any other sin in your heart, such as lust, etc. Jesus is meaning if you also have the intentions of murder, or if you would commit the crime if you thought you could get away with it, then you are just as guilty as if you had actually committed the crime. After all, we are only human. Thoughts can pop up without our control. It's what you do with the anger or lust that matters. If you plot , fantasize or dwell on it, that is the same as committing the crime. If you have an angry thought , quickly ask for forgiveness ,pray for strength and grace and move on.
