The Poison of Anger

Good Morning! Prov 29:11 A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. Anger is a sin that everyone is capable of committing. The tiny baby has tantrum and spits up its dinner. The little boy has a tantrum and ruins the family gathering. The wife loses her temper and wounds her child's heart. The husband gets angry and terrifies the family. Homes and Relationships can be destroyed by the swirling tornado's of anger. Business relation can be shattered by fits of violent temper. Friendships can be broken by anger. Anger causes murders, assaults, and conflicts. Anger brings out the animal nature of human beings. It hinders our Christian testimony, and causes people to lose their joy for living. It causes us to make decisions that are rash and unforgiving. Too many of us excuse our anger by blaming our natural disposition,but anger is a sin. The first step to finding victory over anger is to want to get rid of it. So many of us just wallow in anger until it destroys all the things we have worked for and love in this world. The next step is confession about your anger. Then comes yielding to God. His Spirit can tame your tongue and your passions when you surrender your heart to Jesus. He who calmed the turbulent Sea of Galilee can calm the tempestous sea of anger with His love. He who calmed the turbulent Sea of Galilee can calm the tempestous sea of your anger with his love. As I look back over the many yrs of anger and rage I had living my addictive lifestyle. I am sadden by all the things I lost because of my anger. But the ones that sadden me the most are all the people that I truly loved,but lost because of my anger. So if you are struggling with anger today. Get rid of it! It will make you do things YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO! HABD!
